The Taranaki team at the ladies' tournament at Napier gained its third win yesterday, having now disposed of llorowlicniin (3 — 0> Hawke's Bay B i.i 0), mid Wairarapa B (2—o), while it*, one reverse was against Nelson on Moii'lii\ (1 — 3). Its record to date is ;i remarkably good one considering that it l<lt here without practically any pre\lolls play together as a team. ComImiiitioii. " however, was apparently quickly developed as the following from a Napier exchange, on tbe match against Hawke's Bay B shows: — "The 1 •; n its earlier stages was very onemiW«l. the Taranaki forwards, who are a really good lot, completely demoralising tho Hawke's Bay backs by their long, quick passes, and in the first 12 minutes they scored three goals. After that. Hawke's Bay woke up and kept the visitors back for the remainder of the spell. In the second half, play wag more even, and Hawke's Bay held its

ow 11. On several occasions it got very clow to its opponents' goal-line, but whs not quick enough to take advantage of its opportunities. The* running, clean hitting, and combination of the blues was altogether too good for the liome team. For Taranaki, Misses Ogilvie. M'Ewen and Young scored, and these three forwards, with Miss Winks on the right wing, all played a really good game. The halves were fair, and tbe two full-backs, especially Miss Anderson, were good." „ In the first mateh — against Horowhenua — the scorers were Misseß Young. Winks and MEwen. To-day Taranaki

meets Auckland, to-morrow Wellington, on Friday Wanganui, Saturday Wairarapa A, and on Monday the final match is against Hawke's Bay A. — "Sport."
