■ PARNELL'S BIG SCORE. CENTURY TO HEMUS. POOR STAND BY GRAFTON:. UNIVERSITY'S COLLAPSE AT DEVONPORT. The championship competitions were continued at Eden Park and Devonport on Saturday i„ fine weather and on good wickets. On the former ground Parnell gave Eden a day i" the field, and rattled up 325 for I the loss of four wickets. Hemus and | McLeod were responsible for the big ! score, the former making 13S, while Mc- | Leod was still batting with 92 u> his I credit whep time was called. On No. 2 ground Ponsonby dismissed Grafton for the small score of 14S, and then took the crease and rattled up 143 for the li.ss of six wickets. Smith was the chief contributor, with 50 not out. University tripped over to Devonport. and made a dismal showing against the home team, being dismissed for 3S in the first innings and getting only 41 for four wickets in the second. North Shore rattled up 15.1 in their effort. Monteith contributing 0,". This leaves University still to get 60 runs to equal North Shore's first innings total. I • SHORE'S GOOD POSITION. | North Shore made the 'Varsity team look like a lot of schoolboys on Saturday, when , the students took a trip across the water, and met them on the local ground. The first ; innings was practically a procession to the ! wicket, the whole sidp being out after an I hour's play. R. Gnrrard. whose total was j 13, was Ihe only harsman to reach double I figures. North Shore's innings was far i from brilliant, but their 15fl tn two hours contained three good individual performances by Monteith (67). Frater (31) and ,L. Dacre (30). and when the students were I sent to the wicket for their second attempt | 121 runs were ueeded to reach the Shore ' total. Forty-one of these bad been knocked up when stumps were drawn for the loss of four wickets, leaving 61) still to get. Coates nnd Townsend shared the bowling honours equally.

On a good wicket at Eden Park, Parnell won the toss, and took the crease, Eden being.given the opportuntiy to enjoy a day jin the open. Opening with Anthony and J. IM. Smith. 25 were totted up before Cooper scattered Anthony's wicket. Hemus came on, and settling down to steady cricket he and Smith took the score along to 114 before Smith was caught. Then McLeod joined Hemus, and the pair played havoc with the bowling, and scored all over the ground. From 114 they took the total' to 303, when Hemus was caught on the boundary. He had compiled 138, and had been batting three and a-half hours. ScottClarke was dismissed for five, and McLeod, batting brilliantly, was not out for 02 when stumps were drawn. The total was then four wickets for 325. Scores: — TARNELL.—First Innings. lA. Anthony, b Cooper 13 IJ. M. Smith, c Gillespie, b Cooper 31 IF. G. Hemus, c Wbelan, b Cooper — las E.

Allcott being the chief contributor with a score of 34. Snedden, who took five wickets for 4S runs, proved the most successful of the Ponsonby trundiers. Ponsonby fared slightly better, aud when stumps were drawn had compiled 143 for the loss or six wickets. Smith was responsible for the "lion's share'- of the total, being not out with 33. Playing confidently, he scored freely on both sides of the wicket. Scores:— GRAFTON.—First Innings. Pope, c Neild. b Bass 12 Bush, c Neild. b Bass 12 E.
