LADIES' HOCKEY

■ ♦ HEREWHINI (2) v. COLLEGE OLD GIRLS B (0). ' This match may be summed up thus : Spiritless and wholly uninteresting. Both teams ivere exceedingly feeble, and lacked any dash. The hitting was very weak, and tho ball was invariably sent on indefinite errands, with no attempt at combination. Hereirtiini played better in the first epell' than in the second, and it was then that they scored their two goals. Both ' were shot by Mi 66 Cheyne. Mr. R. Thompson, was referee. . . RAMBLERS (1) v. COLLEGE OLD GIRLS A. (0). Ramblers gained an overwhelming victory ' against College Old Girls A team. Ramblers proved that they muet have been training hard, for they excelled in all departments. In the first spell, Ramblers did all the attacking, and th© College girls did not reach, the circle more than once or, twice, nor across the half-way line more than half a dozen times. On the other hand, Ramblers were in the circle jnost of the time and had registered two goals when the whistle went. On resuming, the Ramblers again outclassed their opponents, and in three minutes had registered another goal. Misses Harris, Bolton, K. Cameron, and o' Sullivan deserve a word of praise for- their work. The College team played a. somewhat scratch game, but Mies Shearer, on the left wing, etood out prominently. By the call of time Ramblers had scored seven goals — four coming from Miss Bolton's stick jind -the remainder being secured by Miss Harris. Mr. U. Smith wae referee. . Syrens (3) . defeated St. Augustine's (0) jit Petone after a rather uninterest* ing game. The scorers were Misses M'Donnell (2) and Beuge. Petone had a somewhat easy victory over B, eecuring the verdict by 3 goals to nil. - Girls' College (2) defeated Pelone District High. School (1). JUNIOR. At Karori the home team registered another substantial win, defeating Wesley by 5 goals to 1. Sanson scored fo 1 . 1 Wesley.

Ireland, who came to New Zealand 'in October, 1839. > In a list of honorary membere supplied' to 'The Post on Friday last, it was stated that Mibs Heaphy was a daughter of Major Heaphy. Tli© child and jls claims wore referred, to by Bishop Sprott at the opening of tho Lower Hutt Boys' Homo on Satur- . day. There was, ho .said, a remarkable carelessness in regard to the child life in the pro-Christian world, a« there probably \va« to-day in tho noii-ClunsUan World where it was untouched by CJiiistianity. Ono of tho most striking differences' between ancient arid modern biographies was that- in tho formal' little ot nothing was told of the childhood' of tho hero. Even among Iho many biographies of the Old Testament, the childhood of Samuel was the only one thai, seemod to be lingered ou with any affectionate and reverential detail.
