PARNELL TOP 280 MARK.

\~ainst Norh Shore on Hie No. 1 wicket ■t Krtoll I'ark. I'arnell hit up the good total of 1!S8, occupying the pitch for the best part of the afternoon. After losing their first wicket cheaply the champions hoisted nearly a hundred runs for the next wicket, due to a flood partnership between Vivian nnil Whit"law. Vivian played a lively knock for r>7. hitting three sixes and half a dozen fours, while Whitelaw played a more subdued innings for ".2. Stephenson (4.1) and Stehr then settled down to correct cricket and carried the total to 170 iWorc the fourth wicket went down. With ths exception of McCoy, who played a forevful innings for SI not out, the remainlllK Vitsmen fared poorly, none of them liplllK Able to stay with the left-hander loll}} enough '*) allow him to reach his century. McCoy f-"'Ve one or two chances when forcing I' ll ' puce, but on those occasions luck wiis with hl'U. He was severe on anything loose nnd hit one six and ten fours. — The Shore attack was steady rather than deadly, the I'nriiell wickets being equally divided anions live bowlers. The fielding was at times brilliant and at times poor, while the throwing in to the wickets was wild on occasions. In a fniltnß light. Shore started well by scoring 31 without loss. Sale and Emery finding no great difficulties in the I'arnell attack. Scores :— PARNELL. —First Innings.

UNIVERSITY'S GOOD SCORE. Bui l ins practically tlie whole of the afternoon at North Shore University coinpiled n total of .'!18, which should he a severe test for their opponents. Y.M.C.A., who in the ten minutes left for play lost one of tlieir wickets. A good start was made l>y the opening batsmerf, Lange and Jessup. the former getting hi.s runs freely. After Jessup went at 04 Sclinauer came in and he, too. punished the bowlers and appeared set for a century when he was run out. The second century was hoisted with the . loss of three wickets, hut the bowlers kept pegging away and got the tail comparatively cheaply. Elliot was the most successful trumller and was the mainstay of the attack. Two good catches were laken 011 the boundary by H. Lyon to dispose of Garrard and Wotlierspoon, who were endeavouring to get runs quickly. Scores:— UNIVERSITY— First Innings. Lange, st. Emerson, b H. Lyon 04 Jessup. c Elliott, b T.

CENTURY TO TOWNSEND.

Thanks to a fine second wicket partnership between Townsend and Stallworthy, and later a bright effort by Snedden, PonHonby knocked up 307 in their first innings'against Graf ton, and with the latter three wickets down for 80 nt stumps Ponsonby are in a solid position. Townsend, whose best strokes were straight drives, ■with plenty of power behind them, batted in his best form and scored 121, his first century since he came out from England to act' as coach. Stallworthy's 57 was a fine knock, as was also that of Snedden who hit 10 boundaries when scoring 54. Hastings and Langton each got double figures. Cowve was the most destructive bowler, taking six of the Ponsonby wickets for Oβ runs. Grafton did not begin well in their first strike and had three wickets down for SO when play ceased.

L. M. SMITH IN FORM.

An excellent partnership by l>. M. Smith and Pearson placed King's Old Boys in a very promising position against Eden on No. 3 wicket at Eden Park, but they failed to maintain their advantage, the later batsmen falling to contribute to any large extent. Smith and Pearson were responsible for V".) of the .218 runs scored by the Old Hoys" Smith batted very soundly for a first rear senior player, scoring all round the wicket with crisp shots that were particularly well placed. In a total of 81 112 hit 10 boundaries. Pearson was a little more aggressive than his partner and compiled 4S in a comparatively short time. It was a pleasing return to his best form. , He combined defence witli aggressiveness and did-not give a single chance. | Eden opened with Mills andG-_l<. Weir, .. and although the pair had added 71 before Weir was dismissed, both batsmen should have been out early, easy catches being mtatd by King's fieldsmen. Weir played sound, forceful cricket in knocking up 4.1, his parlner. Mills, giving him as much of the bowling as possible, owing to \Y cir a

absence in Wellington next week. Eden arc Id a strong position with one wicket down for 73 and there appears every likelihood of their gaining a first innings lead.
