The Auckland touring team has so far suffered no disgraceful defeats,, but, on the other hand, has had an honourable draw with Wellington. The 3to 1 goal defeat by Canterbury was no disgrace, and as Wellington were defeated by Canterbury by 2 goals to nil this makes the farm appear consistent. The touring team play Otago at Dunedin to-day, and a good, close game should result. Private letters received from the members of the team state that the tourists are being royally entertained at all centres. ' " LADIES' HOCKEY.
