GRAFTON, PONSONBY, AND SUBURBS SECURE WINS.
The fourth series of the second round of lacrosse matches for the championship of Auckland was played on tlie Domain Cricket Ground on Saturday afternoon, and passed off successfully. Fine weather prevailed, and there was a large attendance of the public. The match Grafton v. Parnell took place on Mo. 1 ground. The play was mediocre, and resulted in an easy victory for the former team. Ponsonby and North Shore fought out a splendid game on No. 2 ground, and the former snatched a win by the narrow margin of one goal. It is tq be regretted that for the convenience of the public and lv the interests of lacrosse the management did not think Jit to place the chief game of the afternoon more, prominently before the public, for when Ponsonby and North. Shore met in the first round a great struggle took place, and on Saturday the game was even more exciting and closer than when they met before. Suburbs had a fairly easy win over Grey Lynn, though at times the game was very fast and 'interesting. The lady friends of the l'onsonby district club provided ufteruoon tea. Notwithstanding the heavy rains lutely the turf was In excellent order.
