AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION. NO GRADE GAMES TO-MORROW. TEAMS IN SUBURBAN MATCHES. There will be no grade competition matches played under the control of the Auckland Cricket Association to-morrow on account of the representative match between Australia and Auckland at Eden Park.

The latter side in its first innings- compiled 183, and the A team, which leads in the comr>etition, has lost two wickets for 83. The colts have good bowlers, and an interesting game can be expected.
