LUMSDEN NOTES

(From Our Correspondent.) Heavy rain has been experienced during the past few days, resulting in a rapid rise in the streams and river. A good deal of snow has disappeared from the high country, affecting the state of the river. However, the danger of a flood is not considered likely as there will probably be more snow falling on the higher levels. HOCKEY. The Lumsden ladies’ hockey team played a match with Mossburn on Saturday. The ground was in a heavy condition as a result of the thaw after the recent frosts. The game was played on the recreation grounds and resulted in a win for the home side by eleven goals to one. The visitors were unable to field their usual team, a number of players being unavailable. The home side gave a good display and showed more combination than the Mossburn team. Goals were scored for the winners by C. Reidy (6), M. Small (4), W. Belsham (1). For Mossburn, Miss I. Burke scored one goal. The Lumsden team was as follows.—M. Richards, M. Small, J. Campbell, L. Marshall, T. Tomlin, M. Jack, C. Reidy, M. Wellman, K. Heath, W. Belsham, M. Belsham. After the match the visitors were entertained at afternoon tea by the members of the local club. Mr D. McNicol returned thanks on behalf of the Mossburn ladies. Mr A. Heath was referee. FOOTBALL.
