WESTPORT NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent.) j Magnificent weather continues to pre- | vail here, yet people seem to bo victims to all th« ills and flesh, is hour to. j Fine weather apparently is not condu- 4 ‘ t-ive to the good health of most folk j living in these parts! I Not so very long ago a woman living J ni Westpart tripped on carpet an3H hurt her toe. She was perfectly wl.-rn the accident happened. There’s] nothing very remarkable about that, 1 but she had to submit to medical treat- I meat and the funny part of it was Dr Foote had the toe in hand! I m-knowledge receipt of a complimentary ticket from the joint secretaries, Misses McCubbin and F. Sherlock, of the United Ladies’ Hockey Club dance held in the Friendly Societies’ Building on Friday night, also a. copy of the fourth volume of statistics of the Dominion of New Zealand for the vear 1920 from Malcolm Frazer, Government Statistician. St Mary’s Basket Ball team played a return game with the District High Schools girls at the State School grounds yesterday afternoon. Details will appear on Monday. A sitting of the Magistrate’s Court was held at Granity yesterday, and a report will appear later. HOCKEY. Three games of hockey were played in Victoria Square on Thursday afternoon. The weather was ideal, but spectators were not present in their usual numbers there being a counter attraction at the Westport Trotting Club’s Street Course. In the men’s senior test-the result was a draw. In rhe United Ladies’ A. v. Millerton match the former won by three goals to one, the scorers being Mrs O. Nahr, Miss Dora Brown and Miss J. Smith; while Miss Joan White scored for Mill--1 ’ton. The Uniteds wore unquestionibly the superior team, but considering the Millerton girls have not been long organised as a team, they put up a very good performance indeed, reflecting great credit upon their coach, W. Hal la. Miss Power (captain) came very near notching a goal for the coun- ’ rv team, but the ball just missed the inger zone by a hair’s breadth. The Millerton girls on the whole played a ‘‘nuttv” game and their shots were trong, but owing to being only heir second year organisation, they lack form. The Uniteds, a much older established combination, were in good form and in this particular match the town girls who showed up prominently were Airs O. Nahr, ALsses Dora Brown (bullv . B. Martin, and Doss Brown. The rest filled th bill creditably and by doing so paved a way for their team to come out victoriously from the contest. Not knowing the Millerton girls .mllviduallv except Aliss Joan White, 1 can only speak of them collectively. The girl mentioned, being the scorer of the goal, carried the ball with her r )( : centre of the field to the where by good management she , i ..-.<led in breaking the duck’s egg ■ representatives from the mining A- Hie time this match was in pro L. ti:e Mokihiuui girls under the vapt;e: < y of Miss M. Munn, succeeded in >.-(>iiiig a win from the United B’s bv two goals to nil. Miss Thelma Caldw> Jid her team yeoman service betv ’.lie goal posts, while the keeper of the opposite goal had only on one occasion to leave the oval. From this it obvious that the Mokihinui girls woub have had a “walk-over” but for the opposing goal-keeper. Play changed rapidly from one end of the field to the other, but the time whistle found no alteration in tho score. Miss M. Mumm scored the two goals for Al okihinui. COURT NEWS.
