SINGLE LADIES ONE GOAL: MARRIED LADIES NIL. A GREAT treat was the match game of hockey played in the Citizens Rink on Sat- urday evening, between the married vs. single ladies of the club The |ladies wore scariet and black caps and | jxckets ; the single ladies cream and navy lue caps and jackets. Both costumes were pretty and tasteful, and the scene | presented as the hockey players came up n he ice was one of the most graceful snimated that we have seen. ‘The game was interesting and exciting from atart te finish snd was full of possibilities for gcals on both sides, but the defence was equally tubborn, and no sooner was one or othe! goal threatened than it was relieved by the xcellent playing of the points. The goal keepers both defended their goals hervic ‘lily, and only onee during the entire game lid victory perch on either banner. Che teams lined up for play at ten ites after eight, and the referev’s whistle vunded the attack. Mrs. Richards and Miss Fannie Longworth at once commenced ostilities, the advantage of the ‘*bully” be- ing with the red and black. Back and forth went the puck, now one side having a slight advantage, now the ther, and excitement waxed high when a fierce scrimmage tovuk place at the blue and white fisgs. Both sides’ indulged in some luose play, neither gaining much. So the game went on until the referee's whistle sounded the ‘cease firing,” and the teams retired for a well-earned rest of ten minutes. In the middle third of the game brilliant playing was the order of the day, and here the blue and whites scored’ the only goal,of the evening after 10 min- utes play. Inthe remaining five minutes ff this third, the ladies of the red and black fought "vomanfully, but they could aot recapture! the goal gained. For a seccnd time, a rest of 10 minutes was allowed, and at nine o'clock the sides lined out for the final struggle, and it was well worth seeing. Now one goal was threatened ; a scrimmage, and it was re- lieved. Again the pack comes wickedly on miy to be sent bounding away. Ow it is st the opposite goal, aud there is great dan- ver for # full minute. The attack 1s fierce, he defence is determined, and again the and min- fort is relieved. As the rival teams lined up, their relative positions were as follows :— Married—Mrs W S Stewart, goal; Mrs A A Barilett, point; Mrs W A Weeks, jr., ever point. Mra Js Richards (Captain), irs Perey Pope, Miss Daisy Hobkirk, Miss Frost, Forwards. Color—Red and Black Siugle—Miss Lucy Caven, goa!; Miss Minnte Moore, point; Miss Blanche Havi- land, cover point. Miss Fannie Long vorth (Captain), Miss Bella Palmer, Miss Lottie Strickla.d, Miss Wecks, Forwards. Color--Blue and White. Umpires—Mr Chas Leigh, jr; Mr Louis G Whear. Referee—Dr H D Johnson. For beginners, the ladies should be heartily congratulated on the manner in which they handled their hockeys, and the vase with which they avoided the onslaught vf their respective opponents. We hope to see more of our young ladies juin u this invigorating and exciting game. It levelops speed, coolness in danger, and a sraceful carriage. The large number of spectators all ex- pressed themselves much pleased with the same from beginning to end. The Citizens’ Band discoursed sweet music throughout the game, and added to he interest of the evening. Skating was indulged in by those who wished after the play was over, until 10 > CAOCK. The Shooting of Miss Gordon. Mail advices from Boston last evening report that Miss Matilda Gordon, who was hot there recently, is progressing favorably .t the Hospital and the prospects for her iltimate recovery are now better than at tirst supposed. The shoeting occurred at a warding house, 77 Worcester Street, where he had called to see the man Farquharson. She had passed a very pleasant evening, nd was putting on her things to leave to takethe train for Quincy when Farquharson tired. One bullet entered the right side of her neck, below the ear, passing entirely through ber neck, while a second bullet struck her in the back of the neck, and striking against the skull, glanced off, mak ing @ flesh wound. Miss Gordon says she was in the centre of the room patting on her rubbers « hen the shots were fired, She did not hear the report of the revolver, but felt a humming sensation in her head. She ran screaming from the room and down the stairs with the b'!ood pouring from her wounds. On the stairs she was met by some persons aud taken to the bath room where with rare presence of mind she assisted in washing off the blood. There is no reason given for the rath act, end Miss Gordon says she knows of no cause for it. Miss Gordon, as we stated on Satur- day, is a native of New Perth. She visited Charlettetown last autumn and has many friends in the city. Farquharson, who fatally shot himself after firing at Miss Gordou, was a native of Scotland, and was .bout fifty years of age. He had one child who is being educated abroad, —Considerab!e discussion has arisen in European military circles owing to the pub lication ina German version of a Russian work on the Austrian military system written by General Kaulbars, who acquired notoriety some years »go through his miasion to bu'gar ia. General Kaulbors had been for some years attached to the Russian embassy at Vienna and it was during his residence at that capital that he made the studies and ob servations which enabled him te write his book. His judgment is favorable, especial y 1s to the Austrian cavalry, of which he was formed a very high opinion. It may be re membered that an argument on which Count von (»privi has largely relied in his efforts to convinee the Reichstag of the ac.u«l insuffi ieney of the German army was that Germany was liable to be attacked on two sides and 1t, owing to the insufficiency of the Austrian .na Italian armaments, she would have to depend maialy on her §own strength.
