HOCKEY. YESTERDAY'S MATCHES. Cornwall Park yesterday was the scene of the best match which has yet been seen here this y eai. The match xvas between the Albions and Athletics, and was a challenge for the Wednesdax Banner. The Albions again suck (did in retaining the Banner. The other senior match, Oriental Drapers. was a fairly good exhibition |of hockey. The following are the I details of the play :—• I MEN’S SENIORS. ALBION (2) v. ATHLETIC (1). As was expected, this match proved to be an exceptionally fast land interesting one. A large nuinibcr of spectators were present. | The play was opened by a I dash by the Athletic forwards,' J but the defence was too solid to I penetrate. After this some very ! even play t ook place*, each ]ia< k of i •' forwards occasionally breaking | away. From one of these rushes j Harding got the ball and cent red i to Shattky . who found the nets. I 'I lie play in this spell was decided- j ly in fax our of the Athletic, team, i but the excellent play of F. To- 1 nioaiia, the Albion goal, prevented any score being registered. A penalty corner was awarded to the Athletic, but the Albion forwards I smothered the shot. Half-time sounded shortly afterwards. The Albions opened the second spell by a fast rush down the field. Play continued for some time even, and then Watt passed to Harding, who in turn transferred to Shattky, who again scored. For some time the Athletics had an advantage. From the half-way line A. Cassin got. the bail and by a very tricky run took the bail past all the Albion backs and scored a good goal. The play remained slightly in favour of the Albions until the close of the game. Just before time this called a penalty bull.y was awarded to Albions. but Shattky shot w’/ae of the posts. The game ended in favour of Al-

bions by two goals to nil. For the winners Shattky, Burden, and Harding in the forwards played well. Maddison at half played a sound game. I’riday Tomoana, in goal, played a really excellent game, and saved some very hard shots. It would be hard to particularise any of the Athletic forwards, as thev ail played well. In the half line Bullick played a rattling game. Hooper, at full-back, was very safe, and had a very hard game to plav. Messrs. Carr and Groves acted as umpires, and controlled the game in an efficient manner.

ORIENTAL (4) v. DRAPERS (1). J This game was not very interest-1 ing, being rather one-sided, the Orientals had an upper I md i nh ' through the first sp 11 m d <_h t n their goals were s<<n I Ii th second spell play v a i 1 n m h t even. For the winners Smith (2) ! Fail and Matthews scored while I Remington scored for urapers. .vir. i H. H. Bell had control of the game. MEN’S JUNIORS. ORIENTAL (2) v. UNION (1). This game was played on Cornwall Park, and resulted m a win for the local boys by two goals to one, the goals being scored by Maggin and G. Percy for the winners, and W. Cooper for Union. The game was fairly even, and the ’score may be taken as a fair criterion of the. play. For Oriental Percy, Roach, Maggin and F. West played well. Evans. McKay, Macnamara ami-Hearne played well for i the Lnion team. Mr. L. Bamforth acted as umpire. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE A meeting of the executive <>f the' H.B.
