HOCKEY.

The annual meeting of tho Council of the New Zealand Hockey Association will be. held on Friday, April 20. The annual report states that during tli© past year three new Associations have been, affiliated—Hawke's Bay, West Coast and Marlborough. Tho Waihi Association has been struck off the roll. Tho North v. South Island match was decided at Wanganui, andresulted in «. win for tho North Island. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting a team, to represent tho South Island, and it was a, debatable point whether tho continuance of this fixture is beneficial to hockey. A trophy lor competition amongst the various Associations might be provided next year. There was a- laTgo increase in the balance to- tha credit of the Association. The receipts for tho past year amounted to £GO 5s 2d, and tho expenditure totalled £ls 16s Id, leaving a credit balance of £44 9s Id, or an increase of £l4 12s 2d over last year.
