THE NEW ZEALAND WATERLOO CUP. SOUTHLAND’S REPRESEXTATIVES DEFEATED, (Special to the Times*. HAMILTON, July 12. 1 ne Southland dogs at the conclusion of the second round of the Waterloo Cup had lost an opportunity of carrying off the principal money. Messrs Goodall and Malcolm’s Erin’s Star, in the first round, met Wild Night, an Auckland candidate, and the southerner won convincingly by 5 points to IJ. Erin’s Star led by five lengths, turned and wrenched, while his opponent followed with similar latter success, the Win ton dog again wrenching before the hare escaped. In the second round Erin’s Star met Flying Hampton, a local dog, the latter leading by a length and a half, turning and wrenching, while the visitor turned once, scoring one point to his opponent’s three. Maori Chief met Champion Belle (Wanganui) In the first round and gained a stralghtout three-points verdict on pace. On again appearing, against Red Pirate (New Plymouth) he was bested by three lengths In the run to the hare, while Bed Pirate wrenched in securing three and a-half points to Maori Chief’s one point for turn before the hare escaped, pirate, also from New Plymouth,

dismissed Mr J. Vickery’s Blue Moon from the jump, holding a length lead and turning the hare twice in a l!-0 verdict In his favour. Full Hand put up the biggest margin victory of the day, 7-1 in his opening run against Hillen Lass (Tc Aroha)' running right away and killing. He met the Hamilton candidate, ’Wild 1 Dale, in the second round, the latter j holding a three lengths' advantage in the i run up and getting in a turn before the I hare was lost, the points being 4-0. The | slipping of the hares fairly long and | trials for speed beat the Southland dogs. ! A lot of rain had fallen lately but the ! hares were in great trim. ; Of eleven dogs now In, four are from [ Hamilton, two Auckland, two New Ply- | mouth, and Wanganui, Dunedin, and | Nelson have one each.

HOCKEY. HIGH “B" v. COLLEGIATE. The above match was played on Hie High School ground and resulted in a win for Collegiate by 7 goals to nil. In the first, spell the play was fairly even, but in the second half Collegiate were too many for the High “B’ and registered five more goals. The combination of both teams was very good and was a treat to watch. Towards the end of the second half Collegiate had the High "B" demoralised, and it was only by Hie goal-keeper's sound play that more goals were not registered. For the losers Misses Junker, K. Cole, .S. Price, and G. Cameron played good games, while for the winners Misses Godward (2). and Kissell in the forwards, while Misses Kilby, Findlay and Dykes in the backs were conspicuous for good play. Mr E. Battin controlled the game to the satisfaction of all.
