Fra. 4 E s;?f' j-■ Pj-'ngle, E. Beekingliain, b'. Al Canon, G. Wood, and A. Gunn From the very first Dunedin set up an attack, and this was maintained throughout the whole of lire sncll. Onlv on one or_ two occasions .did tho visitors make a • brief sortie, but each time thev found tll« defence too strong, and wore 'soon driven back. Miss Fisher opened ' Dunedin's account with a, good goal early in the game, and after the Timaru players had responded with a spirited rush play settled down near their goal line again. Goals were scored m succession by Miss Wyinks Miss Spedding, and Mi.<s Park. The "latter • player, on the right wing, was conspicuous for speedy ami clover dribbling and timely centring on more than one occasion. After each reverse Timaru would make a determined rush, only to bo driven back u-rain and towards the end of the spell two more goals were added to Dunedin's score by Miss Fisher. Half-time was called with the score: Dunedin 6 goals, Rawhiti nil, On changing ends it was soon ovident that the visitors wore going to put a, different complexion on tho game, and they soon had the Dunedin backs in difficulties. Tho first goal for Timaru was shot by Miss E. Beckingham. Then Miss Uood, getting the ball prom a nice pass, sent it safely between the uosts, and almost immediately afterwards" Miss A. Gunn registered a third goal for Timaru.' I Dunedin rallied again, and taking play to the other end of the field forced the visitors to concede several corners. Tho defence proved sound, however, and-a concerted forward rush resulted in Miss Wood shooting another goal. Play became very fad; and keen towards the close, but no further scores were recorded, and the game ended in a win for Dunedin bv 6 goals to 4. As an exhibition of hockey the play left a, good deal to be desired, but it was none the less heartily enjoyed, as a game should be, by all concerned. The duties of Mr L. Hobbs. who officiated as referee were light and pleasant. ■ In the evening the visitors were entertained at a social and dance by tht. Dunedin Ciub.
