Considerable interest attaches to the first two fixturos. Central's defeat of | tho East team last Saturday has con-, siderably reduced the big lead which the latter team possessed until then. The points scored b ythe leading teams are now as follow: —East, 14; Central, 10 ; Petone, 7; North, 2. As points are added a win and deducted for a loss, it will bo seen that with two matches still to be played the -position, as far as East, Central, and Petone are concerned, is very open. Much will depend on the play of the next two Saturdays. Following are the umpires chosen for the senior cricket matches' to-day and tho following Saturday:—East v. Petone, No. 1 Basin Resorve, Messrs. M'Kenzio and Pickering; North v. Central, No. 2 Basin Reserve, Messrs. Gardiner and Rodgers; Old Boys v. Trentham, No. 3, Basin -Reserve, Messrs.
