DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS. WENS FOR EDEN, PONSONBY, AND VARSITY. EDEN'S NARROW ESCAPE. The fifth round of the cricket district championships was ramtinned on Saturday noon in fine weather, and on easy wickets. On the Domain, University upset Grafton's calculations by putting up 170 for their last five wickets, and running out a winner on the first innings by 70 runs. Ponsonby registered a similar win over Parnell at Eden Park, replying to Parnell's 181 with 252, the feature being -an innings of 92 by Kavanagh. Eden, at the Shore, effected a sensational recovery through the agency of excellent bowling performances by Hay, Honeycombe, and Cunrmings, with the result that Shore's last wicket fell at a total of 153, which was nine runs less than were required. Thus two more points go to Eden. PARNELL V. PONSONBY. The conclusion of this game on Eden Park resulted in a win for Ponsonby by 71 runs on the first innings. Fnnsonbv, with four wickets dow-n for S2, had a century to make to win, and they did it for the loss of oaly one wicket, thanks to a very fine partnership between Taylor and Ke.vanagh. which defied all the Parnell howlers fop over an hour and put on 80 runs. Kavanagh got withl-n an are of his century before being bowled by Olliff. In the hour left for play. Parnell put up 110 for two wickets. Scores: PONSONBY. —First Innings. N. C. Snedden. run out 20 C.
