HOCKEY.

The championship matches under the auspices of the Auckland Hockey Association were continued on Saturday at Reinsera, Domain, and North Shore; United, University, North Shore, and Grafton securing wins in the senior grade matches. Au unfortunate deadlock between the Referees’ Association and the Hockey Association resulted in the different games being played without the services of recognised members of the former association, several of the junior games having as a consequence to be played on the mutual understanding basis as to the observance of legitimate play. SENIOR GRADE. ~~ In the senior grade, United defeated Auckland, last year’s champions, by 2 goals to one. The other senior matches resulted in wins for Grafton, who defeated College Rifles by 4 goals to 1; University, who defeated St. George’s by 5 goals to 4, and North Shore, who defeated Y.M.C.A. by 3 goals to nil. SECOND GRADE. Ponsonby (5) beat Auckland (1). D. Spencer (2), Furness (2), and Wilson scored for Ponsonby, and McKean for Auckland. College Rifles (2) beat Y.M.C.A. (0). Rishworth and Woodward scored. Training College (3) beat Varsity (0). Sneddon (2) and Johns scored for the winners. Pimpernel (3) beat Epsom (2). Murray (2) and Macdonald scored for Pimpernel and Becroft (2) for Epsom. Ellerslie won from North Shore by default. THIRD GRADE. St. Mary’s beat North Shore by 5 goals to 2. For the winners, Dobie (3), Dufaur (1), and Beresford scored goals, and Grace and Hunt for the Shore. St. George’s (5) beat University (2).

EADIES’ ASSOCIATION. The only ladies’ match played at Remuera on Saturday, between Rawhiti A and Ladies’ College, the former team winning by 3 goals to one. The match occasioned a good deal of interest, and during the greater part was fast and exciting, although the winners bad the best of the play most of the time. The scorers were: Misfc Probert, who registered all Rawhiti’s goals, and Miss Massey, who found the net for the Ladies’ College.
