ATHLETICS.
Three la crosse matches and two Association football matches were played in Auckland on Saturday. The most exciting event was the football contest in the Junior Cup Competition between the Tabernacle A team and St. John’s College, the result of which placed the Tabernacle team practically in possession of the cup. Another event of great importance to junior la crosse players was the contest in which the Grafton B team defeated the City B by four goals to three, and thus made themselves winners of the cup. In the other two la crosse matches, which did not disturb the “balance of power” in the Cup Competition, Parnell Seniors beat North Shore by nine goals to two, and Eden and Epsom secured a victory over the winners of the Senior Cup (Grafton A) by two goals to one. The remaining event was a senior football match, in which the Y.M.C.A. team beat the United team by five goals to none.
