EVERTON V. CARLTON. The Everton-Carlton match was of a very even character. Early in the game Carlton was unlucky not* to score after a dashing ran on the left by Smith, who put in a good shot, which Cantrell only partially cleared. Kobinson, however, was lying close up, and cleared with a high kick. Carlton at this stage was the better team, but did not take advantage of its chances. Boyne went, away on his own, and to the surprise of everyone his shot went high over the bar. Carlton still continued to attack, but conld not score. Again Boyne went away on his own, and he finished tip a good run with a line shot, which gave Champtajoup no chance. From the kick-off Carlton went to the Everton end. but made little use of its chances. Carlton kept Everton on the defence for a fttw minutes, until Baker got the ball, well away, and sent on to Boyne, who finished tip a good movement by scoring Everton's second goal. After changing ends the Carlton men made desperate efforts to score, but their shooting was bad. Even play followed for a time. Everton now took charge of the game, and after, a good run Shergolt. scored with a good cross-shot. This reverse caused the Carlton team to make greater efforts, and after a splendid run over half the length of the held. Daw scored the first goal for Carlton. The game How became very interesting, and after a nice piece of play between Baker. Isbister, Boyne, and tihergolt, the last-named player scored the fourth goal for Everton. Again Everton swarmed round the Carlton goal, and with a fine header Shergolt scored his third goal, and the fifth for Everton. Carlton was now n. beaten team, and after a short rally Boyne came away and scored a beautiful goal, it being his third goal of the match and the sixth for Everton. . The game ended with the score: , Everton 6 Carlton 1 Mr. Kirkwood was referee.

CORINTHIANS' VICTORY. Shepherd, for Corinthians, set the Corin-thian-Brotherhood match in motion, and goon Whittle ran down the line, and had a shot, which was stopped before reaching Brotherhood's goal. Corinthians continued to press, but Alpo cleared for Brotherhood, and let Wheatley: away on the left wing. Harrison cleared, and a spell of midfleld play followed. Then Hose scored a good goal ''for Corinthians from a centre by Daniels. From the kick-off Corinthians, again got away, and from a scrummago in front of Brotherhood's goal, Hose kicked another goal. Brotherhood now took a hand ill attack, but its centre-forward headed past. A penalty was given against Turner for handling, and the kick was taken by one of Brotherhood's backs, who, however, failed to score, and German cleared. Halltime came with the scores unchanged. From a good corner hick by Whittle, Bose scored another goal soon after play was resumed. Shortly afterwards, from a pass by Gorman, Koberts scored for Corinthians. From the kick-off. Hose got away, and ended his run by scoring, tlio goalie having no chance. Whittle, from a pass by Harrison, tried a shot, which the goalie stopped in time. Corinthians now had the better of the game. Brotherhood managed to break away for the first time, but after an exciting moment in front of the goal, Harrison cleared, and Rose had hard luck with another run. Brotherhood was awarded another penalty, which was again missed. From a free-kick by McLean, Shepherd scored again for Corinthians. Brotherhood made another effort, but its centre-forward shot badly. Bohcrts shot for Corinthians, and from the goalie's return Daniels scored. There was no further score, the match ending : Corinthi.'vns 7 Brotherhood 0 JTr. Toplass was referee.

A HARD, KEEN GAME. Immediately tho North Shoro-Ponaonby match started Shore's forwards took charge. Woolley raced up the line, centered to Wallace, who was waiting handy and headed neatlv into the net, drawing first blood within a few minutes from the start. This reverse livened the Ponsonby team. Shore saved by conceding a corner which however was without result. Ponsonby continued to press but Bennett saved cleverly several times. Honours were even for a time the Shore's efforts being greatly handicapped owing to the fact that Ponsonby again played its one-back game only having 10 men. The reds now took a turn at attack and a, palpable foul by one of their own men being unnoticed, Webster was enabled to shoot, and scored, making the score even Both teams now played with keenness but again faulty shooting by Shore lost' this team several chances. The spell ended one all. The second spell opened with Ponsonby on tho attack, hut Shore was milling up a

food defence. Both, teams working hard to ! score had the; result of some rather un- ! necessary rough play, which resulted in me ; referee warning one of the Ponsonby players for questionable tactics. At this stage Learwood, Shore's inside-right, was in-, lured, and left the field. Shortly afterwards the game was suspended owing to one. of Shore's halves being hurt. On resuming Ponsonby, attacked, and a penalty which was certainly a surprise to both teams, was awarded against Shore. The shot, however, went over the bar. Give-and-take play was then the order, both teams trying desperately to score. Trouble had been noticed earlier in the game between Webster (Ponsonby's centre) and Nnnnerley. and after several warnings Webster was ordered off. There was no further score, and the match ended: Ponsonby «..'...«■'■*, ... ~...< 1 North Shore ... ... \ «• 1, SECOND DIVISION. St. John's beat Everton by 2 goals to'nil.
