HOCKEY.

MATCH WITH VICTORIA. NEW ZEALAND WINS EASILY. Brisbane, Aug. 22. The New Zealand hockey team defeated a strong Victorian combination at a hockey carnival at the Exhibition this morning by eight goals to nil. The New Zealanders played a hard game throughout. Penalties wore awarded against them, from which, however, their opponents failed to score. In the second spell, as on Saturday, the visitors settled down to a steady combination and towards the end of the game the Victorians were visibly tired, although they tried valiantly to stop the rout. Bell was a prolific scorer for New Zealand. Hougu play was frequent. The visitors played a splendid attack mg game, Dole feeding the forwards admirably. Prom the outset the New Zealanders pressed strongly, play immediately going to the Victorians’ end. At half-time the New Zealanders were leading by two to nil. Of the total of eight goals, Bell scored four, seccombe, who also played a fine game, scoring two, Spiers one and Watts one. Although he had comparatively an easy one, Fletcher, in the goal, showed he is an excellent custodian. .WEDNESDAY GAMES.
