B. Speeds medal lor the most improved player during last season. motion by Air J. D. Alclntyro that the club enter a team for this season's senior championship was not carried, as it was considered that thcra were insufficient players good enough for that grade. The club granted the use of its ground at Alirainar to the Wellington Ladies’ Hockey Club, with a proviso that matches bo finished before the men start play. A resolution was passed altering the colours to red and black, in halves, subject to the consent ot the Wellington Hockey Association. The secretary of the latter body was interviewed yesterday, and he intimated that the association would probably not consent to the alteration. The- old Waiwctn Club, it seems, has decided to ro-form, and red and black were its old colours. Which it will retain. Before starting practice at Alirainar this afternoon the club will therefore discuss the question of altering the colours to red, white and Imie in hoops, or cream and green in halves. Alcssrs J. D- Alclntyre, F. H. Lampen, and J. Kienian announced that they would present trophies to tho club for competition this year. ) Another gentleman is also presenting a trophy Air Alclntyro was heartily thanked for his services as secretary since tho club's inception four years ago, and Air Franklin-Browne for Ids keen interest in the welfare of tho club. . , Ono junior and two third-class teams arc being entered by tho club for this year’s co.de with a country club on tho Prince of AVales’s Birthday, June 3rd, will bo arranged, if iiossiblc. \
