• ' [By Dnivrji.] ! Thero is but little to chronicle this week ; i\s no matches have, been played for a ,fortnight, and players are hoping that tho" weather will bo good for this afternoon's ga.u/cs. ■ i •' « Tho match of tlio season—United v. Karon —w/Ii bo played on No.. 1 ground, Day's Bay,-, and it is arousing kefen interest. > Tin?"representative match with Canterbury is to .be played on Wednesday w&ek, and our i player.?" must do their best. Tho club matches next Saturday may be postponed to allow a'' trial match to be played, but this has not' been decided upon. The idea is a good ono, and it was' adopted at Christchurch, a.ud Auckland. " Cleft' Ash" of. the "'Weekly Press" hasthe following"The wet weather on Saturday last prevented tho Canterbury representative teaml from getting any . practice. Tlio toam as priginally picked had, a certain amount of apmoination, but as it stands now very few of'tho players havo been togother at all. Tho arrangements mado were that tho team -shcWd have two practices before going away, bVit as tho weather.'was unfavourable on Saturday, it leaves them with only one day'in which to get to understand oiie another's- play. \' The Wellington team \vill be pickod on Me.\nday, and it is to bo hoped that its members' will bo given opportunities of playing together. . Tho following, which ■ appears in the " Otago Daily .Times," is of interest"On various occasions s&ico the formation of tho Otago Hockey Cem'ire tho ladies' clubs havo' ungrudgingly assisted towards tho success of representative JjLxtures, hot only by their attendance in , largo . numbers at the. matches, but also by entertaining visitors at aftornoon tea at considerable personal inconvenionco to themselves. Somo. return for theso good offices is to bo mado by membra of tho men's clubs, who propose offering tho ladies a trophy for annual competition. • Tho suggestion has been enthusiastically received by local players, and tho ladies may rely 011 having a handsome' trophy to go with this year's championship."
