THE DISTRICT MATCHES.

THIRD ROUND FINISHED. I Unpleasant weather conditions prevailed again this afternoon for the resumption of the third round of matches in the Canterbury Cricket Association's competitions. A strong westerly wind was blowing when play opened. Soon the wind changed to the south, and a smart shower of rain fell. After 3 o'clock, however, the weather improved considerably, and ai the Finish of the day's play it was excellent. Linwood scored its third win, beating St. Albans by a narrow margin. Sydenham drew with Riccarton. West Chrislchureh beat East Christchurch on the first innings. LINWOOD V. ST. ALBANS. The leading team, Linwood, met St. Albans at Hagley Park. At the end of last Saturday's play Linwood, which batted first, had 133 on for eight wickets. Carlton, who had taken six of the wickets, was absent this afternoon, and the tail-enders carried the score to 191 before the last wicekt fell. St. Albans had only nine men to bat when it started its first innings. The first wicket fell before a run was scored. Then Bishop and T. W. Reese put on 59 runs, and later Gordon and Brunton were associated in a very useful partnership. The eighth wicket fell when 17 runs were needed for victory. An emergency man was discovered, but the last wicket fell at 180, so Linwood won by 11 runs on the first innings. LINWOOD. First Innings. F. Butler c Gordon b Carlton .. .. 15 G.
