ASSOCIATION MATCHES

The Association football matches were continued laab Saturday in tho Domain under favourable circum__tancea, although the ground was slightly soft. United v. Grafton.—Thia match ended with a large score on the eide of United, 9 to 1 being registered in favour of that team at the call of time, bub bhis was considered not to represent the merits of the two teams, the general opinion being that the scores should have been much closer. Goals for United were obtained by Smith (6), and Crammdnd, Heather, and Shaw registered one each.for their side. The only score for the Graftonites waa secured by Laird. Smi.h, tbe^goalkeeper for Graiton, appeared to be _ very nervous, in more than one case missing a

ball which might have been blocked. For United the backa all playod well, Smith being tbe mosb prominent, bub on the Grafbon side no ono was particulary conspicuous. West End v. North Shore.—The only score throughout thia game, which from a spectator's point of view w»8 rather unintereßting, was secured by Dacre for tha Shoreites.
