OUR CRICKETERS.

SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

Our cricketers were again favoured with tine weather for their championship matches at the Domain oval on Saturday. The various matches proved very interesting, although the results ia one or two cases were somewhat unexpected. Auckland met Parnell, and the game so far has every appearance of resulting iv a victory ior bhe latter. The batting of Auckland disappointed many supporters, and the total of 91 runs for the first innings was principally contributed by Lloyd-Quentery (30) and T. H. Wilson (23). These .cores leave the remainder of the batsmen with very meagre averages each. The bowling of Sbone and I. Mills for Parnell proved very effective, the former securing five wickets for 13 rune and the labber 3 for 28. The other senior match was that between Gordon and Uoited. The Gordon's innings was somewhat similar to Auckland's, the total being 95 runs, of which Kallender with 28 and Cotterill 33 were the only prominent scorers. At the call of time United had 24 runs for the loea of two wickets, and if bhey maintain this average United will win their first match. The following are the scores:—
