champion Indian team Of Canada, and the Union Ath
letic Club, of Boston The Unions have been trying
for year stir up interest in this sport and
have practsed extensively the ball grounds. The
Canadian team was induced to come to Boston so as
to give exhibition and let the lovers Of outdoor
sports have Q chance to understand the game. They
arrived three days ago. and had little practice
Friday.
About four hundred people were present to witness
the trial Of skill between the rival teams. The match
agreed for four out Of ganes instead Of
the customary arrangement for two out Of three The
first goal well contested. and after sharp strug
gle was won by the visitors The second was also
captured by the Canadians very excellent play
being made by both sides. The third was won by
the Union Club after hard bout. in which the home
team showed to very good advantage. The fourth
goal not contested, ~ the time taken up by the
frst three made further trial impossible. owing to
the approaching darkness and the fact that the Ca
nadians obliged to take the halfpast Ave train
for Montreal. The game very successful. and
was highly enjoyed by the spectators. The playing
