HOCKEY.

MAJOR CUP COMPETITION. 'kia, kaha A v. W.F.C.A. The Kia Kaha A and W.F.OjA. teams met at Labsdowne, yesterday afternoon, in splendid weather for hockey. Play throughout the whole game was mostly of an individual character, although the K'.a Kaha forwards got an occasional passing rush. In the first half play was very * voia j but about half-way through tffe spell King centred nicely to Rue, who shot a goal for | Kia Kaha?, No further score was registered in the first half, and at half time the score stood— ! / Kia Kaha ... 1 goal I W.FjCA. ... nil. ! The second part of the game was more in favour of the Kia Kabas, although only one goal w«9 soored, a shot fcy McLean from the oorner of the striking circle, which glanced off the goalkeepers' pads between the posts. The ball travelled up and down the field at a great rate, due to the hard-hitting of Thynne, Hooper, Parton and Donald on the Kia Kaba, side, and Fairbrother and Hall for W.F.U.A. The forwards, however, were not in good sbodting form, and as a result no further goals were scored, and the game ended in favour of Kia Kaha , A by two goals to nil. Mr S. A. Noble-Oampbeli was referee.
