Showers fell at intervals to a great extent. Wickets ■were slower than usual, and bowlers^ were able to get, a good deal of " work" on. hut, if anything, conditions favoured the batsmen. Eden, the loading team in the senior competition, had little difficulty in gaining three-point win over Parnell. j and, as was expected, Grafton won com- j fortably from North Shore at Devoijport. ■ The remaining game, between Ponsonby and ! "University, at Victoria Park, was very dose, but play was a great deal below senior standard. Ponsonby only required 93 runs in the second innings, and as the ■wicket »-m by no means difficult. the task looked an easy one. Tho unexpected happened. however, the side being dismissed for W. Andrae (Parneli), with 64, was the highest scorer of the afternoon. Sale (Shore) being next ■with 50. Cnmmings (Eden) •was responsible for a good bowling performance, taking seven Parnell wickets for 22. The University bowlers, Taylor and Fenwick also bowled very well. EDEN V. PARNELL. When play ceased on tie previous Saturday, Eden had scored 425 for the 053 °- veven wickets. Hemns declared the innings closed on Saturday, and Parneli was left ■with all the afternoon to get the runs. Grenler and Oiliff were the pioneer batsmen, but. the partnership was not of long duration, Cuminiegs bowling the former «wben tie total was hut nine. Anthony and Olliff put on 22 runs before the former was easily taken in the elips. Wright followed, and after scoring two fell an easy victim to Taylor: 33—3—2. "With Andrae for partner, Olliff made an attempt to kaock Taylor oft - his length, but -in' trying for a big hit he left Ma crease, and Tatter sail smartly re- i moved the bails. Cnmmings bowled Andrae with an off-break shortly afterwards, I and five wickets were down for 44. The next, -wicket fell at 52, and the seventh. at "-53, but Dufaar stopped the rot with a hit off {Jammings clean over the boundary. Bennett left at 64, and with the addition of ■three more runs Dufaur was 5 clean-bowled by Cmnmings. The last wicket added four i to the total. Cnmmings and Taylor bowled j unchanged for Eden, and at no time was j the bowling collared. Had the ParneU men i been a little more aggressive, however, the I team would have made a much, better show- j ing. CicmmiKgs sent down 15 overs, seven , "being ntaider.s, for 22 runs and eeven wic- j iete. ParnelTa second innings opened badly, j Sommerrell, Anthony, and Grenier being j out for a total of five. Olliff and Andrae, j however, came to the rwscne, and carried I the score to 89 before being separated, the latter being then caught on the boundary by Burton. Andrae was very aggressive, hitting no lees than 12 boundaries. He was at the wickets for 45 minutes. —5—64. Wright partnered Olliff, who as batting patiently, and lifted one to Kemua at long-on: 89—5—0. Brown followed, and Eaw the century up after an hour's play, but the next ball was edged to Harris at short-slip: 1016—5. Bennett followed, but after adding one he was clean-bowled with a fall toes by Taylor: 102-7—l. Dufaur followed, got a dozec. in three hits, and then played all over one from Taylor: 115—812. Stephens die not score, and Lnsk, j the last man, went in only to see Cummings clean-bowl Oiliff. Following aro the

GRAFTON V. NORTH SHORE. On the first day Grafton batted all the j afternoon, the score being 273 when the j last wicket fell. North Shore commenced \ very well on Saturday, and for some time 1 flattered their supporters. Sale'and Bush, j the pioneer batsmen, batted with confidence, and when the half centm;' was hoisted it looked as if the finis! was going to be exciting The remaining batsmen, hows'? *?, fa.':.id to follow the good | example set by the ..""otain, and after j Howden had made a d /sen not A single! man reached double figures. The last j wicket fell at'lso, and North Shore had to follow on. Howie and Stewart opened the innings, but did not remain together long, Stewart leaving after scoring four. Whelan failed to score, but Miller and Dacre placed a different complexion .a matters by remaining until time was up. Dacre hit brilliantly, getting Jackson over the boundary three times in succession. E. Horspool was the best of the Grafton bowlers, Pratt for once not meeting with success. The scores were: GRAFTON.

When play in this match ceased on the first day, Ponsonby had been disposed of for 79 and University for 69. University also had lost four wickets for 40. The rain during the week had improved the wicket considerably, and although it- was possible to got " work" on it. it was by j no means a bowler's wicket. Caradua (not out 6) resumed batting, and by careful play added 22 runs to his score before falling a victim to Kavanagh. The remaining batsmen, with the exception of Bakor, who worked up 21, failed badly, and when the last wicket fell the total was but 10;. It did ' not appear to bo a very difficult task for Ponsonby, but man after man failed badly, and six runs were still required when the ninth wicket fell. There was considerable excitement when McMath joined Robinson, but when the former opened confidently with a two it looked , Ponsonby's game. Robinson, however, was tempted by a loose one from Taylor, and a substitute took a good catcu in the outfield. giving University a victory by three runs. Ponsonby's first wicket *e!l at 6. the second at IS, the third at 29, the fourth at -51, the fifth at 46. the sixth at- 47. the seventh at 65, the eighth at 87, ana the ninth at 92. - The decision that sent N. Sneddon back to the pavilion appeared to be open to quest-ion. as did the one that returned Kavanash. but Ponsonby batted so badly that a victory was not deserved. Taylor sent down 17 overs, and secured :five wickets for 40. whilo Pen wick bowled 16 for four wickets and 46 runs. Appended are the scores: UNIVERSITY. First Innings 69 Second Innings.

PRESENTATION TO MR. GRENIER. At the conclusion of Pameli's first innings an Saturday, Mr. R. B. Lusk, on behalf of the members of the club, presented Mr. N. Grenier (captain of the senior team), who is leaving for Singapore on Monday, with a gold-mounted fountain pen, suitably inscribed. Mr. _ Grenier, in acknowledging the gift, said that as *;hongh his sojourn in New Zealand had been a very short one. he had enjoyed his cricket immensely. He would be 7000 miles away, but would always follow with the greatest of interest the doinsrs of the Parneil Club in particular, and the progress of cricket in tho Dominion yi general.
