COUNTRY WEEK HOCKEY

WEATHER CONDITIONS WORSE WHANGAREI BEAT WAIPA. BIG WIN AGAINST COLLEGIATE. [Special to “Northern Advocate.”'] AUCKLAND, This Day. The conditions were worse than ever for the third day’s play yesterday at Remuera in the Country Week hockey tournament. Overnight rain and squally showers in the morning made the playing area look like a series of miniature lakes, and before games had been long in progress the whole field became very muddy. An additional round of ladies’ matches (B section) was got off in the morning. Fourth rounds in both competitions were scheduled for today, with a prospect of better conditions. The programme included a re-play between Auckland and Paeroa ladies in the forenoon.

The tournament proper terminates tomorrow, unless further re-plays are necessitated, and on Saturday the week will be finalised with a series of representative engagements. Complete results of Wednesday’s play are as follows: — White Horse Cup.
