SATURDAY'S LOCAL. PLAY THIRL) ROUND GAMES. The third-round games in the Poverty Bay Cricket Association's competitions were completed on Saturday afternoon, tho weather being conducive; to keen play. The results of the various matches were: Gisborne Club beat Old Boys, on tho first innings; Celtic defeated' City by four wickets; United beat Harbor Board on the first innings; and High School had an easy two-point win over Poverty Bay Club.

BEST FIGURES. The best performances of the day were the following : Batting: Forstei' (Gisborne) 83 not out; G. J. Robertson (United) 85 not out; "Dow (H.S.) 64 not out; Carson (U.S.) 79; 'Bennett (Celtic) 67. Howling: Moody (Celtic) five wickets for 33; Loekett (O.B.) live for 14; G. J.

There was a keen discussion following tho declaration of tho School innings,.concerning the decision of the Poverty Bay Association as to tho scoring on this game, and though tho School accepted a two-point win, on the assura'neo of the umpire that this was the most they could secure, this did not end the controversy. The School captain won the toss, and sent Poverty Bay in to .bat, the innings closing for a total of 82 runs, of which Cooke made 22, and H. C. Williams 21. The scholars were much more successful, and had lost fivo wickets for 162 (Dow 64 not out, Carson 79), when they declared, and wished to send their opponents in in an attempt to score n three-point win. A ruling of tho association was quoted, however, in support of the assertion that tho School could 1 not score more than two points on tho match' in any case, and this was accepted by Carson, the School captain. As the two points were already won, tho umpires permitted the closing of the gamo on an appeal against the light, leaving School in possession of a two-point victory.
