Dear Bee, August 20. HOCKEY has been played all the winter with great enthusiasm, and a match was arranged for Wednesday between the Wakatu (Ladies’) Club and a team selected from the two Girls’ College Clubs. There was great excitement over the forthcoming match, each club meaning to have a hard struggle for victory. But, alas! the weather was far from propitious; heavy rain fell during the morning, which made the ground very wet and muddy. However, the afternoon was fine, so it was decided to' play; but unfortunately the College boarders were unable to Ire present on account of the weather. so several members of the Wakatu Club played on the College side in order to make up the number. A good match was played, which resulted in a win for the College by one goal. Amongst those playing were Miss Filled! (captain Wakatu Club), Miss

Buchanan (captain College Club), Misses Preshaw (2). Leggatt (2), Roberts (2). M. Glasgow, Bunny, Gully. Robinson, Lindsay, Ledger, Trent (2).

Amongst those who watched the game were Mrs Robinson, Mrs Watkiss. Mrs Bunny', Mrs Webb-Bowen, Airs F. Hamilton. Misses Levien, Sealy, M. Bunny. Huddleston, Hubbard, Edwards. Blackett. Coote. Graham (2). Fell (2), Preshaw. F. Webb-Bowen, Burford (2). and others. A very successful CONCERT in aid of the Cathedral Fund was given in the Shelbourne Street Schoolroom on Friday evening. There was a large audience, and each item was loudly applauded, many encores being accorded. The hall was prettily decorated, but the flags hung across from wall to wall rather deadened the sound. Songs were sung by the Misses Baigent. F. Webb-Bowen, Madge Mackay. A. Bell, the Rev. .1. P. Kempthorne, and Mr A. C. Maginnity; a vocal quartett by Misses A. Stevens and Kempthorne. Rev. J. P.

been obliged to devote themselves to their lessons. But if the proverbial little bird whspers truly, there is a gay time coming for them in the September holidays.
