HOCKEY.

ASHBURTON V. CHRISTCHURCH DRAPERS.

Tha match between the above teams took place on the Domain yesterday. The hockey enthusiasts who defied the elements, were, m spite of the drizzling ram, treated to acme very good play. The play for a few minutes after the start was a series of penalty strokes, the rulo regarding " too high stick" beiDg strictly enforced, but once properly going both teams exhibited some neat sallies. Aahburton were unfor tunate m failing to score on several occa sions, more particularly m the second spell, when on one occasion the ball struck the goal posts. The driving of the Drapers was particularly effective, but m close following play were somewhat behind their opponents. The match ended m » draw, neither side being able to place between the posts. For Ashburton, F. Watb, F. Clark, and R. Miller, were the most conspicuous. Mr F. Clark officiated as referee, and gave every satisfaction. The Drapers were entertained by the Ashburton Club at Mrs Wheeler's.

THE STEAMER OHAU.

United Press Association—-By Electric Telegraph. Wellington May 23 The Post says that just before the Ohau left Greymouth —m faot the firsb and second whistles of the Ohau had been sounded—Captain Brewer, Captain Worrall (of the Wainui), and Captain Connor (harbor-master at Greymouth) were convers ing on the upper deck of the Wainui, and Captain Brewer emphatically expressed his determination to steer a southerly course to Dunedin. ?• For," said he, "I will escape the southerly blow m the other quarter." Capbains Worrall and Connor bade good-bye to Captain Brewer, under the impression that the latter would go south about to Dunedin and at the same time remarked that he (Captain Brewer) would have fine weather for his passage, for the weather there was very oalm. Evidently Captain Brewer altered his mind before leaving Greymouth wharf, and took a northerly course. The southerly course from Grey mouth to Dunedin shortens the distance between the two ports by some fifty miles, but a drawback to this is the possibility of meeting much rougher weather than would be likely if the northerly course were taken. Moreover, the southerly route is a somewhat lonely one, and unless under exceptional circumstance navigators mostly prefer the other course. Oa this occasion Captain Brewer was so positive m his determination to take a southerly course that the reason for the sudden change m his plane is a mystery. The officers of the Rosamond report that they saw the Ohau about 1 pm on Satur day, an hour or so before she was sighted from Cape Campbell. The secretary of the general post office states that the Ohau had a small mail on board from the West Coast for Dunedin, I consisting of 119 fetters and 51 other articles, It was stated m Lyttelton on Wednesday that a report from Foxton had arrived to the effect that wreckage had been found m that neighborhood, supposed to have come from the Ohau. No definite aews is yet to hand on the subject, however.

FOOTBALL.

ASHBURTUN V. SYDENHAM.

! Teams from the Ashbur'on and Syden -1 hnai...football Oiubs contended on the Oval yesterday afternoon, and, as was j the co.se l*st year, a very interesting I g>;iie r eulud. The home, team have had | their ranks augmented by the inclusion of some membera of the old Rnrihgbsirts CSub, and their assistance materially strengthens | the Ashburton Oiub. The team placed I m tha jB 'Id yesterdsy, will, with combined practice, be iv cre-iit to skipper Orr, and dur ing the season afford somo interesting play. Sydenham, although pacing a fairly heavy team ia the fi It), suffered m the forward attacks', and sadly lacked combination among thoir backs, wh oh may parhupsba attributed to want of practice, or a daaire to shine in dividually. AahburUm defended the north goal, and kicked off; after exchange, play fulbwed m the centre for a time. The bUI got ting free from 8 scrum, some good passing between Lynakey, J. MoTigue, aad N. Orr, I pat Sydenham on the defensive, but a Kick by a Sydenham back relieved. Ffbtn the | throw-in which followed, Ashburlon again penned the Blues m their twenty-five, and ! eventually worked the ball out near the | corner flag. From the throw-in W. Pur ! chase secured the ball and dashed over the coveted line. McTigue took the kick, but failed to augment the score, the angle being too difficult;. Sydenham renewed hostili* ties, and after equal play for a few minutes, Lynskey collared the leather on being heeled out from the scrum, and a piece of brilliant play resulted. Lynskey passed to MoTiguo, who transferred to N. Orr, the skipper to E. Purohaie, who crossed the line. Mc- Tigue made a good but unsuccessful shot afc goal. Play m neutral territory followed, Sydenham vainly endeavouring, by forward play, to work the ball down. Shortly after the whistle sounded. half-time, the score being—Ashburton six points, Sydenham nil. In the second spell Sydenbam altered their mode of attack, adopting the forward game, and shortly after the kick-off a dribbling [ rush by their forwards pub Ashburton on the defensive, and a score seemed inevitable, bat Gromie was m brilliant form, and his dashes as wing forward, and a kick by Lyu ckey, relieved the pressure. Shortly after Sydenham waa awarded a free kick, and had a shot at goal, but the ball was too slippery for place kicking. A lot of sorum I work m the centre followed, and ultimately the Blues worked the ball m dangerous i proximity to the Ashburton lice, buc the ' forwards again came to the rescue. Play m neutral territory for a while, then a little open game by the Ashburton backs, and things concluded by the sound of no-side, the score remaining as stated above. Mr B. Harrison was referee and his judgments were evidently impartial.

PIRATES V. ALBION.

The Albion (Christchuroh) 01 ub played a match at Ashbnrfcon yeßterday with the newly-formed Pirates Club. The game was played m a drizzling rain, bo that fast play on either side was out of the question. Albion kicked off, and even play fcliowed m the oentre of the field, till Dacre, with a good ran, carried the ball oloae to the Albion line, and the Pirates looked like scoring. Good kicking by the Albion backs sent the ball back to the Ashburton twenty-five, where from a line out Weston secured the ball, and scored for' the visitors. From a difficult angle Manchin kicked a good goal. After the kick off Ashburton were soon defending their goal line, but managed to save further score, and play at half time was m the centre of the field, with the score at—Albion five points (one goal) to nil. In the second spell the Pirates played better together, and soon after the kick off had Albion on the defensive. i)<icre and Familton made several good runs for the local team, but no score »esulted on either side, and play at the call of time was m the centre of the field, Albion winning by five points to nil. For the Pirates, Dicrc, Familton, aud Woods (backs), and Minnis, Pritchard, and Hepburn (forwards) showed prominently, but the team as a whole lacked combination compared with the visitors. Mr B. Harrison, of Christchurch, acted as referee satisfactorily.

THE SCANDALOUS AFFIDAVIT.

Mr Jellicoe Suspended for Three months.

Leave to Appeal Granted,

United Press Association—By Bleotrio Telegraph, Wblungton, May 23 The Law Society's motion to strike Mr Jelhcoe off the rolls came on before the Chief Justice, and Justices Williams, Denniston, and Connolly this afternoon. After hear ing Mr Jellicoe m defeooe and Mr Chapman for the Law Society, the Chief Justice taid he regretted Mr Jellicoe had not appreciated the grounds on which the Law Society had based the application. Their Honors did not intend to go so far as the society, which asked to have him struck off the rolls, bat would proceed under the succeeding section, which provided for suspension or punishment by some other means. Mr Jelliooe, he said, appeared to entertain the notion thai because a judge had been mixed up with a similar case to that m which Mr Jelliooe had a client, he was nob a proper parson to hear such a case, at he was likely to possess bias; also, that there was no impropriety m attributing bias to a judga and bringing the matter before the court. Bis own opinion of the affidavit, coming from an experienced practitioner, was that it was done intentionally, and for the pur pose of insulting a particular judge. There fore, however unpleasant, he thought the court should insist that such unprofessional conduct must be met with punishment, nob only m the interest of the public, but the ! court and profession as well. He concluded by saying that the court had decided to suspend Mr Jellicoe practising as a barrister and solicitor for three months. This, he felt satisfied, would prevent a repetition of such unprofessional conduct. Mr Justice Williams said that if a young practitioner had been guilty of the offence there might be some excuse, but there was none m this case. He was confident that the affidavit was not filed hona fide, Mr Justice Denniston concurred, and could not conceive how an experienced solicitor could m cold blood have drawn up and signed such a document as waa recently ordered to be removed f com .the records of the court. Mr Justice Conolly said the only reason he had for disagreeing with the judgment of the court was that they had been too lenient tq Mr Jelliooe. The latter had been defiant throughout: Mr Jellicoe asked to have the order ans> ponded for two months, to enable him to arrange his business. The Court suspended the order for fourteen days on condition that Mr Jelliooe did' not appear m any court m the meantime; there fore the suspension operates »t once, and Mr Jelliooe waa ordered to p&y fifteen guineaa COBts. Mr Jellicoe moved for and was granted leave to appeal to the Privy Council.
