Two Great Games of

Hockey at Gotham.

The Best Matches Ever

Played in the World, Be- tween the Victorlas of

Montreal and Brooklyns and All-New-York,7as Wit-

nessed by The C.uarc|ian’s Correspondent.

New YORK, March 1-l-(Special)-

On Friday and Saturday nights I saw the two greatest games of hockey ever played in the world. _

These were the international matches

Montreal and the crack local teams- the Brookly ns and All-New-Yorks. Of course you have heard how it all re- sultt d, but a few notes made from per- sonal observation of the great event may be interesting

American hocke rowess has 'become

to bequite embarrassing if not over-

interest. expectation and enthusiasm

ies held many of the elite of the city. Great attention was bestowed on the Victerias, and the scene was a very in- spiring one as they glided on the ice in their red sweaters and duck pants and were saluted with the British National Anthem, all rising. They were loudly applauded, and bore their blushing honors as only champions can. All are bright, healthy, even boyish looking Canadian youngsters, Davidson, the star of the team, being a jaunty,rosy- checked little fellow of apparently tender summers.

Friday evening’s game was an easy

proposition for the Canadians, although ; when half-time arrived with a score of 2 to 1 against them, their stock receded several points. In the reserved seats near the centre of the promeiiade. how- ever, was a contingent ol confident merry Montrealers who had come over to see the Victorias do the annihilating act and they were not at all troubled, neither were they afraid.

When play recommenced the Cana-

dians turned in three goals in succession in a style that simply bewildered the New Yorkers and set. Maple Leaf wrooters” wild. It was a procession in last half, as the Brooklyns failed to score again, and the close of play

ishowed 5-2 in Canada’s favor amid a

between the renowned Victorias oflplays the score the instant the gofli

scene of indescribable excitement.

On Saturday evening, however, the

Vicioiia’s met the All-New-York team, which was composed of picked players from the Brooklyn team of the preced- ing evening and from the American 1 Hockey League. It was the strongest aggregation, as the Herald said, that ever came together on this side. *T '1`he attendance on Saturday evening

must have numbered over 3000 people. The 400 of New York society were out in force in the $1 50 seats in the gal- T lery, and the scene was one of brilli- ancy and fascination not to be forgot- ten. -

The rink, whichis about the _size ol

.the one at Charlottetown is fitted with every device that affords comfort and utility and the appointments are all elaborate. You enter, from 66th street, into an elegant foyer, set out with tropical plants and bristling with uni- formed ushers. and ascend a ' broad marble stairway to reach the rink proper. Tae entrance is more like the .foyer of a theatre than of a sporting club. Among other admirable features is the netting stretched across the pro- menade at each end of the rink which obviates ' any injury from the puck ; and also the lsystem by which the score is bulletined. This is di ne by an oiiiicial in the gallery at the farther end of the rink who dis-

lare made with pasteboon figures of heroic size. Above him are the band lquarters whence float down the ravish- __ ing sounds from brass and reed and_ ,iinkling motallaphone to spur on thc. `gladia'oi's on the ice arena below. and to tickle the ears of fair women and

The defect. in the American play is a

tendency to individual work, with con- sequent loss of alignment and lack of unanimity .and force.

SIR,--I was much surprised upon

reading your account of last nighi’s performance in the Opera House, to see that your reporter omitted all reference to the factthat the ' proceedings closed by the orchestra playing the National Anthem and that the vast audience with one single solitary exception rose when

‘lit was being rendered. That excep-

tion was a foreigner whohas been so- journing here, partaking of our hospi-' taliiy, and enjoying the protection "of the British flag for many months and who rc-joices when he is addressed as “Sir” And I trust that on the next oc- casion when loyal Irishmen act logcih- er, no foreigners who may happen to be present, even from the Wilde of Texas and imbued with Texan demo- cracy, shall be permitted to again so far forget the duty he owes to the coun- try uhder which he has sought protec- tion and liberty. but that means will be taken to compel him to pay proper re- spect to the Sovereign when the Na- tional Anthem is being rendered.
