HOCKEY. REPRESENTATIVE MATCH. SATURDAY (4) v THURSDAY (0). The trial of strength between the Saturday and Thursday representatives eventuated on Cook's Gardens on Thursday afternoon, before a fair attendance of .spectators. Saturday won by 4 goals to nil. after a fast and willing game. From the opening bully, 'Thursday rushed the ball into their opponents' territory, Kernohan being prominent. Saturday conceded a corner, and Armstrong had an unsuccessful shot. Saturday then woke up, their forwards taking play down-field, but Armstrong saved well. A corner hit. against the reds (Thursday) saw Martis and Thompson send in a shot each, 1 ut both were stopped. The Thursday men were now having all the better of the game, and play settled round the blues' goal, Bathgate relieving the tension. But not for long; the reds came again, but McDowell missed what appealed to be a certain score, by undercutting the ball, which sailed over the top of the net. The blues came away, and began to work play to the other end; but good defensive play by Armstrong proved a thorn in their sides, while Martis was of similar service to his team shortly afterwards. A few Thursday forward rushes, with Butler put. ting in good work, and then Saturday asserted themselves in earnest, as after a pretty piece of play, Breed sent in n shot that gave Morgan no chance. I— 0. Thursday were now having many anxious moments, and Morgan was kept hard at work defending his goal. The secoud score was not long in coming. Good combination between Martis and Breed saw the hall go out to Thompson on the wing, who banged in a flying shot which found the net—a very neat goal. 2—o. The onlv incident of note before half-time was a" sweeping rush by the reds, but Armstrong's shot was stopped, and the spell ended with the score unaltered.

The reds started the second session well, but hard hitting by the Saturday backs drove them back, and for some time the blues had things very much their own way, savo for an occasional forward rush, which was not sustained. This spell was not so interesting as the first, though there was plenty of good play on both sides. Smith was specially prominent at this stage, while Butler was putting in some useful work, and looked dangerous several times, though he might have been supported letter. Inkster stopped Breed when a score appeared imminent, and Smith retaliated with a good run down the line, but Morgan averted the trouble for the time being. Kernohan rushed up-field, but overran the ball, and from some heady play, Breed shot another goal. 3—o. Morgan stopped a crashing shot from Henderson, but shortly afterwards, Breed again got possession, and notched his third score. 4—o. .ludieious hittiug by Martis enanleil the blues to keep up an almost continuous bombardment, but there was no further score when the final whistle went, Mr Brittaiu controlled the, game in a most efficient manner.

The most prominent on the winning side were Martis, Breed, Bathgathe, Scrivener Ihompson, and, in the second spell' Smith; while Armstrong, Morgan, ami Butler shone in the ranks of the 'losers. Inkster also did an enormous amount of work. Kernohan was patchy.
