Wickets wero j < much slower than usual, and bowlers were j able to get a good deal of " work" on. In consequence scoring in most of the games ; was low. As was generally expected, Grafton defeated Eden A at Eden Park, and Waitemata lowered tho colours of Ponsonby at Victoria Park, easy victories being gained in each game. Eden B and Parnell had a close contest at Eden Park, the B team eventually winning by 11 runs./ North Shore made a fine eiiort against University at Devonport. but tailed to record a win by the . narrow margin ot 11 runs. The highest . score of the afternoon was registered by . Howaen, of North Shore, who at one time looked like puliing tho game out of the fire. ] Howdcn went in late, but quickly becamo [ aggressive, all the bowers being severely punished. He hit three fine sixes, but just | when he appeared to have the game won ho j , ■was well taken by Caratius, off Jacobsen, for ; a well-played 72. Prime made 49 by care- ' ■ ful cricket, but none of the remaining batsmen troubled the scorers very much. Hay, of Eden A. played a vigorous if somewhat lucky innings of 57, against Grafton, and K. Moller made 41, not out. for Waitetnata . asainst Ponsonby. MacCormick (Grafton), ' whose score on the previous Saturday was ( 95. reached the century in quick time, but 1 after adding an additional 7 he succumbed to Burton. The most successful bowlers were Stephens (Parnell), Haresnape (Graf- ] ton), Taylor (University), and C. Moller Wai- • temata). but most of the bowlers obtained fair figures. As a result of Saturday's games, , Grafton aro leading for the senior champion- ; , ship, Eden A being in second position, one i 4 point away. Following are details of the ' games:— i .> -GRAFTON V. EDEN A. When play ceased on the previous Saturday, Grafton had scored 261 for six wickets. . MacCormick being not out with 95 runn to ] •. his credit. Twenty-one runs wore added to ; ' the total before the last wicket fell, and Eden .'.were faced with a score of 282. Of this ' ■total MacCormick and Sloman were responsible for 239. their respective tallies being 107 and 13-2. Eden A made a poor start, j one of Harvie'. swervers finding a weakness in Brown's defence. Cummings also fell a victim to the Grafton man, and BrookeSmith, after making 4. was bowled by Haresnape, with a hu?e break. Three wickets were thus down for less than a dozen runs, and matters looked very ominous for Eden. Gor- ; don and Hay, however, came to the rescue, i:; but although they made a gallant attempt they were not supported to any extent by j ■$ the,;> remaining batsmen, and the innings . closed for 143. just , 139 less than Grafton's ; Spcore/%; Haresnape took four wickets, and : ; Harvie.' • E.

WAITEMATA V. PONSONBY. f " f Waitemata. with 332 on for tho loss of nine , wickets, declared against Ponsonby at Vic- j toria Park. The Ponsonby men commenced fairly well, but the effort was not sustained, j and after about three hours of rather weari- , some batting, the last wicket fell with the , score at 156. Waitemata's bowling did not appear to bo very difficult, but Ponsonby preferred not to take any risks. In a minority of 172 runs, Ponsonby should have followed on, but as the Waitemata men do not got much net practice it was decided to let them bat again. At the call of time the promoted juniors had put on 61 for one wicket, K. Moller being not out with 44 to his credit. "Waitemata won by 172 runs. Scores: — WAITEMATA.

UNIVERSITY. University defeated North Sboro at DovouI port by tho narrow margin of 11 runs. As j mighl be expected, the play provided much excitement, li was generally expected that I the Sboro team would havo no difficulty in I overtaking their opponents' score of 193, and had i. Howie, one of the not out men, arrived in time to continue his innings, the victory j might have rested with the marine suburban I team When six wickets wore down for 72, Shore's prospects were very dull, but A.
