HOCKEY.

THE WHITE HORSE GDP. The White Horse Cup hockey tournament was continued at Eemuera yesterday afternoon.

The grounds in consequence were very heavy, but this did not prewnt some good hockey being provided tor the fair number of spectators who assembled. On No. 1 ground Rodney and Tauranga played a drawn game, each side scoring one goal. Whangarei defeated Bay of Plenty by 3 goals to 1 on No. 2 gTound.

RODNEY V. TAURANGA. Bodney won the opening bully, and carried play to their opponent*' territory, but too hard hitting spoiled their chances. Taurrjiga then attacked, a free hit allowing Rodney to clear. The latter's forwards carried play to Tauranga's circle, and only good work by Walsh kept them out. Keeping up tho pressure, a, good centre wa.s rej ceived by Goertz in the circle. and he j scored. The game was fast and open for I the remainder of the spell, ermf.c shooting on both sides preventing them altering the score before half-time. Rodney. 1; Tauranga. 0.

Bay of Plenty made great eßorts to equalise the score, but there was no chaEge before the interval. Whangarei, 1; Bay of Plenty, 0.
