A match between the Melrose and Wellington Clubs resulted in a win for the latter by three points to one, after an exciting contest. Auckland. There was a large attendance to witness the first meeting of the Ponsonby and Gordon teams this season, which resulted in a win 1 for Ponsonby by five points to two. During the match two members of the winning Club were considerably hurt, A: Braund being rendered unconscious, and " Snowy" Hefferman wrenching his side. , The Grafton v. Auckland match was rather a hollow affair, the former winning by eleven j points to nothing. Thames.
