KIWI V. HINEKOA.

One of the most interesting and evenly contested games of the aaanon was. that in which the visiting tenm a' the Kiwi Club (Wellington) responded to the challenge of the Hinekoas at the Criebet Grdnnd yesterday afternoon. With the exception ot the south eastern corner, which had been rende; ed shoppy owing to the deliberate unstopping of a watar-pipe by soaie person with vitiated instincts, the gconcid was in good condition; and the use of a light ball assisted to make the play extremely mobile. The game ended with mutual respect, a goal to each. The visiting team of the renownea Kiwi Club includes three senior players, the rest being jacior3. The presence of several medical men was to bo r.oted yesterday. Patriotic male spectators are reimrking that tbe pursuit of the game by New Zealand young womanbood ot re cent yea*a is an augury for soo3 in the direction of physical development.
