The second round of matobos under th» ! nuspicea of the Auckland Cricket Association was commenced on Saturday. The I weather was dull, but rain held off, and stumps were not drawn in any of the games, until 6.15 p.m. With the exception of two J good innings played by "Wright (Parnoll) i and Sale (North Shore), the batting in the 1 various, game-, was dull ard lifeless, and throughout the afternoon wickets fell with monotonous regularity. Chief interest was | centred in the match between Eden and { Ponsonby at Eden Park, each team having { a win to its credit. Ponsonby won fin* toss and batted, N. C. Snedden and Collins being the opening batsmen. The wicket, although looking good tp -the eye, wait- I rather tricky, and it was not long before both Collins and! Sneddon were sent to the } rightabout. Two trinkets were down for ! 15 when Kavanagh and Woods became associated, and matters were looking ominous for Ponsonby. The third-wicket parti v nership, however, realised 48 runs, \ Kavanagh and Woods both showing fair ; form.' Cummins*, who was the fourth bowler to bo tried, at last broke up the"; partnership, Woods being stamped by. llountree and Kavanagh canght by , Tay- ■ lor. Wilson 1 and Taylor were disposed, of cheaply, and when six wickets had fallen , only 78 runs were recorded on„ the board. ' Gavin and 0. Sneddon added 2d, but after * they departed the end aocn came, the to tall •being.; 140 when the Jast man was caught. C'ummings obtained the best average, taking four wickets for 20 runß ,in 12 , oybot. No. less than, three of his victims were taken behind the wickets. The light was not j< good when Hemus and Taylor commenced <. for Eden, but, nevertheless, 33 runs ./were,{.;' scored before Hemus failed to stop a j straight one of Kavanagh \ Taylor left j:, in the next over, and two wickets were ;;';'; down for 36. Smeeton and Cnmmings added < 15, and then Smeeton played a ball from, : Sneddon on to his wicket. Mills and Cum- ! mines were together when stumps were i drawn. Cmnmings scored 41, but he Wa* |» very lucky, no less than four chances being i

declined by the jiPonsonby men. Woods i missed him badly and, Taylor also dropped .;'"'? a fairly easy catch, while Edmunds made ; no attempt to get underneath one at mid- ; ; ; • off. Eden appears to; hold the issue Bate. '!;;,. The one redeeming feature of the Pamell- \ Grafton game on the Domain was Wright's!>! splendid not out innings of 128. In com- ':'',- : v.'' piling the first century of the season v Wright showed splendid form. All bin ': , strokes were excellently timed, and, with ■■ the exception of a chance in the long field ~' at 75, the innings was flawless. Ho ob- ; tained most oi! his runs in front of the '"• wicket, there being plenty of wood behind ■••■' ■ Vhis drives. Brown. Ellis, Fairburn, and ;'■ Anthony each ran Into double figures, but .; the form of each was not. good. ■■'•;:■' Pratt .",. captured fiv«> wickets for 26 runs—a really. '■ £v good performance under the circumstances;* ~> r Mason was expensive and Mackrell had no terrors for the batsmen. , When stump« were drawn Grafton had lost five wickets for 47, OHiff being mainly responsible for ithe collapse. University batted first against North Shore at Devonnort, but only managed to compile 94. Taylor and Baker being th« only double-figure scorers. Howden bowled 1 , well for North Shore, taking five wickets for 34. North Shoro had lost nine wickets for 158 when stumps were drawn, the consistent Sale being the highest scorer. His innings was a good one. Townshend made things lively in the latter stages of the game, his score of 29 being- rapidly obtained. I game, his score of 29 being- rapidly obtained.
