THE CRICKET SEASON.

SIXTH SERIES OF CUP COMPETITIONS. SOME GOOD SCORING. The second round of the first grade competitions under the auspices of - the Auckland Cricket Association was commenced on Saturday ' afternoon, when the weather proved favourable and some excellent scores were made. ' - . ■ GORDON V. PONSONBY. In this match Gordon won the toss and went to the wickets, when they put together the good score of 244. Kallender played a splendid innings for 112, making things very ' lively for the outfield. This player seems to be getting back to his old form. Dr. Pabst also played well for his 49 and R. Lusk 39 and Hicks 23 (not out) both batted nicely for their runs. GORDON. —First Innings. Williams, b Wallace . 3 R.
