CRICKET.

AUCKLAND AGAINST NORTH.

LOCAL TEAM'S EASY WIN.

VISITORS BEATEN BY INNINGS.

The match between teams representing the Auckland and North Auckland Cricket Associations was concluded at Eden Park on Saturday, the former winning by an innings and 61 runs. Owing to heavy rain overnight play was not resumed until after 11 o'clock. On tho previous day Auckland scored 333 runs and the visitors had lost no wickets for 19. Rcsuminp on Saturday their scoring was very slow against a steady attack. Panther made a solid 31, showing a sound defence, while Vipond was unlucky in being run out after making 40. Ho was not afraid to hit ft ball well up, a fault which was in evidence with some of the othor batsmen. Tho visitors collapsed after the luncheon adjournment, against tho bowling of Langton, who secured the good average of five for 31. Langton was not bowled in the morning owing to tho unsuitable conditions and it was good judgment on the part of Rountree, captain, not to use him until later on. Spinning tho ball well from both' sides, Langton left some of the batsmen standing. The visitors' first innings realised 135. Following on, North Auckland wa3 dismissed just on time for 137. PaDther again batted well for 31, while Wyatt and Thompson hit hard for 23 and 24 respectively. 'lhe wickets were fairly evenly divided among the Auckland trundlers. Details of the play are as follows:

UNIVERSITY MATCH. AUCKLAND'S GOOD POSITION. WELLINGTON FIG} ITS FOR RUNS. The end of the second day's play at Eden Park in the annual cricket match between Auckland University College and Victoria University College, Wellington, saw the honours resting with the Auckland side. On Saturday the home team continued its first innings, and even batting performances carried tho total to 270. The visitors' lost six wickets for 98 before stumps were drawn for the day. , The game will bo continued this morning. When play was resumed on Saturday morning Goe was dismissed early, but Ltmn and Hudson attacked tho bowling and scored freely. Matheson also played his natural forcing game, and Cooper batted well for 32. Clarkson and A. McDougall made quite a good showing for the last wicket. None of the Wellington bowlers were exceptionally difficult. Tripe was the moat successful, but Beveral loose, deliveries on the leg side were severely punished. In their first innings, after the early dismissal of H. W. Osborn, tho Wellington batsmen played very cautiously. Matheson and Clarkson both bowled solidly, although tho wicket hardly suited the fast bowler. Mackenzie, tho Wellington captain, played him well, and scored with beautifullyexecuted leg sliots. The first bowling change, when Garrard relieved Clarkson. saw the dismissal of Mackenzie, and also Arndt, who had batted very patiently for threo runs. Dormer. Tripe and Wilson batted soundly, but all were troubled at times by Garrard, who varied his deliveries well. Matheson bowled 12 ovors for 29 runs without securing a wicket, but nppeared to bo unfortunate in that at least 0110 appeal for a catch behind the wickets was unsuccessful. Following are the
