AUCKLAND, Feb. 21. The Senior Cup cricket match, Auckland v. Gordon, was concluded yesterday, before a large attendance. In consequence of the heavy rains during the week, and up to noon yesterday, the wicket was much against the batsmen of the Auckland Club, who had 15 runs for no wickets when they resumed their innings, which closed for 99 runs, or 52 runs behind Gordon, who had scored 151 on the previous Saturday, on a capital wicket. Yesterday's play was good, but the Meldrums and Gould had the pull of the batsmen with the ball. O'Brien (20), Coxon (16), and Dewes (14) made the best stand, but the other men seemed too anxious to score, and paid the penalty. This win, on the result of the first innings, makes it almost certain that Gordon will carry off the Senior Cup, although they have to meet Newton and Westend yet. These Cup contests have given great impetus to ci*icket this season.
