[By Trundler] Up to the present the secretary of the local Association has received no, reply from the Parnell Cricket Club re annual match. ; To-day's match should be unusually interesting, although United, on this season's form, have undoubtedly the better chance of sooringawin. Should they do so, the: championship of 1893-94 will[fall to them.

Analysing - the above .table, it appears that should United godbwh before Rovers and Tararu—an improbable possibilityRovers and United, leaving the drawn match out of account, will be equal; then should Thames beat Rovers, these three 01 nbs will each have -five wins' to their •credit, and # Thames and-Unitedi,Tvillhave to play off'the' ■" tie," In .any case "the finish cf the will not be Jacking in interest. ■ • ■ , '... •■•■.•■'.•_.-•■•.'. The result of lasfc week's match .was. ieceiyed with general .incredulity.; One well-known member of the winning team was met with, "Tararn won!• What's going to happen ?" Another , Tararnite, for whom the excursion had greater attractions than the certain (P) defeat at Parawai, being told the news on his return, rejoined that ■he ■" was not to be taken in likethat. , -The complete pleasurableness of the afternoon was somewhat marred by an assertion made by one of the losing team that Mr Park was "not out" when so given by the umpire.- The player in question was under the trees at, the time, and says, as a matter of fact, that "Park had his .bat down when Newton knocked the wicket over ;"■ but no one 60 yards in front of the wickat can say whether the bat was within the crease or ■ not, and not only tho umpire, but Wolff, who was fielding at mid-on, square on from the crease; Hall, who' was in a similar position to the , "off,"..and Newton are all agreed that the bat. was grounded nearly, a yard outside the crease. In any case the remark was particularly ungenerous, for the decision could not have affected the result of the match materially. .

Tararu play, a match, on their own ground .this afternoou, "Married v, Single." Play begins at 3 p.m. sharp. The teams have already been published. ! . Ifc is somewhat of a co-incidence that Thames has lost one match'against each 'Glub it has met this year." : ;- • Up to date the Thames have made the highest aggregate runs in, the senior matches, 325 for U wiokets f . : average 4-3;. but the Eovers, with.32l for 66 wickets,' show .tho ; best avera;get4'B; the .United have made 302 for 66 wickets','average 4*5 5 Tararu average is 3<2. ;■•.'•.

The question as to who has been'the Jonah of the Taravu .team"'remains un< settled. All the absente.es last week disclaim the'honour. Some suggest that "Tommy'sbrake" must havebeeirthe cause of all the ill-lnok, certainly Tararu never won when they-wont out in it, Tho jnore gallant members say that Tarara won 1 because some ladies were there to watch them.
