HOCKEY.

MEN'S MATCHES. On Wednesday championship fixtures were advanced another stage. At Otaki the local 'juniors met To Horo's second eleven, and an even contest resulted in a draw, 2—2. Be van, playing well for Otaki, scored two goals in the first half, while McDonald, a player -with' dash, scored tries for Te Horo in the second half. The Otaki boys did well, and had the backs fed the forwards the latter would have been seen to better advantage. The Te Horo backs and forwards played creditably, especially Hayward and McDonald. Messrs Parker and Adsctt were referees. Otaki and Levin seniors had a splendid game, the latter eventually winning, 3—l, but had it not been for the fine defensive play of the Levin goalkeeper the scores would have been reversed.
