HOCKEY.

♦ CANTERBURY v. OTAGO. (bt telegraph. — rsESS associa.tioh.l DUNEDIN, 15th September. The interprovincial hockey match Can* terbury v. Otago was played on the Caledonian Ground to-day in bad weather, rain falling for good part of the time, and the ground consequently being greasy. At the beginning a hot spell occurred in front of the Otago goal, and a, corner was conceded, which Otago cleared well. Otago then attacked, but the chance was lost, and a good passing rush by Canterbury was well stopped by Holley. Otago then had a turn at attacking. The Canterbury combination was better, but individually the Otiigo men more than held their own. After 'prolonged attack, Adams shot a goal. v On changing 'ends, Otago renewed the attack, but Canterbury cleared. Some exciting play followed, and on several occasions a score seemed imminent. At length Doig equalised the score by shooting a goal for Canterbury. The visitors clearing well from the corner shortly after, cat up a strong attack, which, eventually resulted in Doig again scoring what proved to be tile winning goal — Canterbury, 2; Otago, 1.
