CRICKET.

TO-MORROW’S MATCHES. Last week end saw senior cricket clubs enter upon the second matches in the second round nnd, with Palmerston securing a winning position in tho first innings against Old Boys, the former eleven now promises to work on level terms with their opponents, who had enjoyed a throe point lead at tho close of the opening round. High School and United, who arq opposing one anothor on the upper wicket at the Sportsground, are on level terms on tho championship ladder and the outcome of their meeting on this occasion is meantime obscured.
