CBICKET.

THE OPENING- OF, THE SE*3t>NSr

The first round of the cricket cnampiODship. matches was commenced on Saturday afternoon.' • - The weather conditions - wei c perfect, : though the rains of the previous week had left the ground very soft, and the wicket was consequently slow and the outfield too dead to admit of fast scoring. There was a large attendance of cricketee and supporters of. the game. Grafton played Pamell on No, 3 wicket, and Patneil batting first lost, six wickets for 166. In the Eden v. I'oiisoriby match, Eden went to the wickets, and were all disposed of for .143 runs, Pansonby. losing two wickets for three runs before the bell rang. At North Shore the local team met City, and the visitors batting first, were all out for 102 runs, North Shore scoring 114 for nine wickets. Hemus - scored 49, the top score ,of the day in the senior matches. Bellowing are the details at toe ptay>SENIOR GRADE. * PABJVSLL V. GBAPTON. Parnell won the toss and elected to bat, R. B.
