Hockey, which Is an old, old gam,-aJmost forgotten In the development of other similar games, has had a great revival, on the mainland, both as
played on Ice and'wlthout. When Miss Bacon of the T. W. C. A. was at Harvard last summer, she saw It played a great deal, and determined to Intro
duce It lrt Hawaii, The first practice game' of the; Y, W. C. A. will be played next Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Kamehameha school ground.
The game, played on Ice Is Just .now In great vogUe In, the East and Middle West, as well .as In Canada. In many cities rinks have been constructed,
almost solely to afford opportunity for the game. The periodicals devoted to athletics and the sporting columns of the dally papers, devote a good deal of
space to the game. The Illustration given above Is of a game .of Hockey In progress on the Ice, skill in skating being one of the necessary require
ments for excellence In the game when thus played. The only.lilttd of skated ever seen InUhls tropic land are not suited to excellence in this game.
Hence It will beplayed here without 9kates. The game will be remembered by many of the older generutlon as thr one in which the expression, "Shinny
on your own side," Is so frequently used.
