AUCKLAND SPRING MEEHNG. The Auckland Racing Club held their second day's racing at Ellerslie on Saturday. The result of the two-year-old race, the Nursery Handicap, was a surprise, La Dauphine, a good-looking filly by The Dauphin from the Panic mare Brassolw, upsetting what was presumed to be a certainty for The Beau.

Clogs, Leorina, Lioness, Puschka, and Ernest also ran. Leorina quickly secured the advantage and run pas>t the stand a length in advance of Ernest, with Tartar and Antelope next, and Hilda last. Leorina and Ernest wero out of the straight together and led along the back of the course. Hilda still last two lengths away. Ernest fell away at the cutting, where 'Tartar ran up to Leorina, the pair jus-i, clear of Antelope, with the others liunohed together. Tartar got his head in front at the half-mile post, but almost as soon us he could be said to be luiding Antelope and Lfcoiiaa were racing

with him, and the trio swept into the 1 straight head to head, it being impossible to i distinguish who was leading. Hardly were ] they in the straight, however, and whilst a great struggle was waging at the head of the field, than Hilda came from the ruck on the outside, and drawing away as if the others were standing, ran home an easy winner by three lengths. Antelope was second, a head in front of Tartar, whilst Clogs was fourth by the same distance away. Time, 2min 12Asec. Dividends, 31s and 32s 6d.

The two days' match Grange v. Carisbrook was drawn very much in favor of the latter. The first innings gave the Northern Club a lead of eight runs, but in their second venture Carisbrook put together the respectable total of 110, the principal contributors being Bell, Williams, E. J. Austin, and Johnston. With only an hour in which to get 103 the Grange men, feeling confident that they could not lose the game, indulged in some very speculative hitting, with the result that seven wickets fell before time was called. For the Grange Parker was credited with eight wickets for 25 ; for Carisbrook M'Cormick obtained nine for 46 and Forrester six for 23. Scores : Camsbrook. First Innings. Second Innings.

The Port scored 51, M'Donnell (24) and Waters (11) being the double figure scorers. The Wanderers put together tho very respectable total of 111 for six wickets, Cooke (52, not out), Harris (22), and Smith (18, not out) being the chief Bcorers. The High School First v. Carisbrook Second Eleven resulted in a win for Carisbrook, the totals being—Carisbrook 52, High School 37. For Carisbrook, M'lntosh (19) and D. Cargill (12) batted well; while for the School, Gillies, with a steady 15, was the only double figure. Warehousemen First v. Albion Second Eleven was a victory for the former by ten wickets. Scores: 69 and 24 (for no wickets); Albion, 48 and 33. Stephenson did the hat trick.

The Grange Second and Albion Second was a win for the former by 8 runs. The Grange in their first innings scored 46 (Haigh 15, and Restieaux 11). The Albion could only make 38 (Gilks 8), mainly owing to the bowling of M'Glashan, who captured seven wickets for 13 runs. The Grange at call of time had lost two wickets for 51 runs in their second innings (Thomson 17, and Restieaux 19). The matuh School Second v. Fairfield First resulted in a victory for the School by two wickets. Scores: School, 79 and 47 for eight wickets; Fairfield, 62 and 63. For the School J. Burt 33 and 27 not out, Liggins 13 not out and 3, batted well; as did Grigg 19 and 0, Fish 6 and 16, Kingston 0 and 11, for the Fairfield. Williams, Hay, and Bentley bowled well for their respective sides.

The heat for the Senior Cup between the Star and Wellington Cricket Glubs was resumed on the Basin Reserve at Wellington on Saturday. When play was stopped on the 3rd inst. the scores stood : Wellington, 145; Star, 50. The latter, having 96 to make to save a one innings defeat, went to the wickets, when they made a wretched exhibition of cricket, the whole team lining despatched for a total of 17 runs, YVellin,;/t/m thus winning by one innings and 78 runs. (Jore and Ronaldson divided the bowliuj* Uonorn, the former takiua; six wickets for 10 runs, while four fell to Konaldson's credit for 7 runs. This esrhf-

bition of the Star was undoubtedly the worst ever seen in Wellington by a club having the pretension of a senior clu!>.
