Following are the results of the matchos played on Saturday:— SEXIO-R GRADE. SELV.TN (4) v. SYDENHAM (0). The meeting of these two teams was looked to with a- considerable amount of interest, *ud the same provided some scientific hocke- In the early stages Sydenham more than held their own, and with a better half line would have proved a hard team to beat. For the first quarter of an hour Felwyn were almost entirely upon the t defensive, Hit the goal proved elusive, and no floor?, was Eventually the combination of the Selwvn forwards stood to thaw, and after bein<: penalised for off-side n few times, mainly on account of Champnes9. the left wing, they -reached the Sydenham circle, and S. Bell got in a successful shot. Sydenham made a rally, and ouicklv reached the Selwyn circle,-hut the backs cleared to halfway, where H. Bell gained possession, and put in a fine solo run to the Sydenham goal, where- he tricked the goal-keeper and scored wily a few minutes before half-time On resuming, Selwyn took possession, tmd rushed to their opponents' circle. H. Bell fpnt in a. hot sliot, which went into tho net off ths> t-oal-keeper's hand. The Selwyn team were .playing bettor hockey than their opnnents, and backs were, feeding the forwards w.>]l. From the bully at midfieM a pretty piew of combined play between H Bell and W. Richmond gave, the_ latter an opportunity to add to the score with a. neat shot. The Sydenham team made a- Rpecial effort., but tb* Selwyn defence was wry round, and the game became ft series of attacks by each team, but there was no further score, and i'h» came ended: Selwyn 4, Sydenham 0. Referee, Mt 0. Bellamy. CHRISTCHURCH (0) v. Y.M.C.A. (0). Y.M.C.A. met Christchurch at Hagley Piirk, -xhere no score was registered by eitlw-r team. The game was fast and open and full of interest. Christchurih opened fe. JiW"c!r, and Barwick sent in a fine centre to Williamson, and the latter had n shot which cleared the top bar. Christchivrch persisted, but could not pierce the Y.M.C.A. defence. A solid passing rush by the Christchurch forwards endied in Sinclair tnkiuT a shot at-goal. Drayton, the Y.M.C.A. goal-keeper, fielded nmsrtlv, but had to concede a corner. Y.M.C.A. became prominent in a. Eolid attack, but Martin relieved with a long 'hit. Christchurch agßin reached their opponents' circle, and Werren bad an unsuccessful shot at goal. Fildes nnd Holland gained possession for Y.M.C.A., but C. Warren intercepted and Kit out. Halftime 'blew with no score, and play in midfield. On resuming, play was even for a spell. Barwick, the Christchurch right wing, made a tricky run and centred to who missed with the shot at goal. YJI.C.A. now Rained the upper hand and l reached the Christchurch circle, where Farrell had an unsuccessful shot. Ohrjstchurch rallied, _ and a scramble ensued in the Y.M.0.A.. circle, but poor ehooting lost all chances of scoring. Christchurch attacked persistently, and Drayton was called upon to_ stop several hot ones. Play was momentarily transferred to the Christchurch twenty-five, but Martin relieved, and play returned to Y.M.C.A. territory, Drayton having a busy time', but no score was registered. , Y.M.CA. made a, determined effort to score, end reached the Christchurch circle, where a scramble was in progre°si when the whistle blew, and thegame ended in a draw, witb no score.

Luxton came out io stop the rush but wjfl beaten, and Barwick put the ball into _&n empty goal; Addington gradually gained the ascendancy, but poor shooting-spoiled several chances.
