In the top division Hutt (beaten by Army) dropped behind the other three leaders, while Karorl, after disposing of Petone for 29 runs in the first Innings, missed an outright win by only one run. In an exciting finish at Kilbirnie Wellington College Old Boys failed by three runs to reach the home team's score. On drying wickets runs in most cases were not easy to get, but there was a notable exception on the No. 6 wicket at Kilbirnie, where, in a second division match, over 500 runs were scored by Institute Old Boys and University, Sheffield retiring after making a century for the former team. This division also produced " the only "eight-pointer"—by Wellington at Midland's expense. , The senior championship points now are:— first division: Army 45, Karori 45, Kilbirnie 45, Hutt 40, Wellington College Old Boys 23, Petone 20.
