Perfect cricketing ■weather prevailed, and the ground was greatly improved by the grass ill-wing been cut during the week. The Te Ro.u skipper being favored by the snin of the coin decided to bat. Baxter and Olsen were the opening pair, and they shaped nicely for a while, until the latter softly returned a very loose ball _to the bowler. Baruby was the incoming batsman, and he was -not sent back until ho had compiled the large score of 70, made by quiet cricket. He took no -risks whatever, and was not to he tempted b.v the most inviting of balls sent down to him. Of the other batsmen, Pine (26), Monk (16), and Cary (12) showed the best form, Gary having the bad luck to bo given out lbw when just getting S ot.° Tile innings, which lasted until after 6 o’’clock, closed for rthe total of 164. As evidence of the painfully slow game, the bowling analysis shows that 25 maiden overs were sent ■ down. United’s bowling was good, Coop, Reynolds, Hutcheson, and Hallainore all taking a turn with the ball, the two former being the most successful. At 6.15 United opened their innings with L. Coop and J., Gibson, but after oiio ovor Iliad iboen bowled Gibson appealed to the umpire on the ground

of tho light, and they tit once deoidod that further play was impossible i tho sun was getting low behind the trees, and they were casting long shadows right over the pitch, making it extremely difficult for the batsmen to judge the flight of the ball. Stumps were then drawn, leaving United 103 runs to get to win on tho first innings. Col. Winter .and Mr. It. Thelwall noted •as umpires. The following are tho scores: — TE RAIL —First Innings.

During .the progress of the Unit-ed-Te Rau cricket match on Saturday an incident occurred which has created a good deal of comment in local cricket circles. To Ran occu--•pied the wicket all the afternoon until shortly after 6 o’clock, and as stumps were to be drawn at 6.30 p.in. United were only left about 11 minutes in which to hat. Their first two batsmen went to the wickets, and after one over had been bowled one of the batsmen appealed to the umpires that- the light was unfit for play. The appeal was allowed and the game discontinued. On the players returning to the pavilion tho To Rail oaptain loudly protested against the decision of the umpires, declaring that the light was perfectly good, and that play should not have been stopped. Col. YVmter, one of the umpires, thereupon stated that hehad had 40 years’ experience of crickeit., and in all tih&t time had never seen such an unsportsmanlike action. 4 ‘Personally, continued the Colonel, “1 -take , a great interest in cricket in Poverty Bay, and am very sorry to see the game .being conducted in such a manner in the district.” Mr. R. Thelwall, the other umpire, stated' that there was no doubt the 11 glit .was totally unfit for play to he continued, and heartily endorsed the remarks of his colleague regarding the feeling displayed. Earlier in the game the Te Ran captain was declared out l.ib.w., a decision that to many of the players appeared to have been incorrect, and on walking to the pavilion' he vented his dissatisfaction in an unmistakable manner. AUCKLAND MATCHES. P*ess Association. AUCKLAND, Nov. 24. The third round of the Auckland Asoociait'ion’s cricket championships was continued yesterday in fine weather. Good form generally wias shown, especially with the bat, and some high scoring was indulged 'in. In the North- Shore v. Parnell match, the former made 299 runs for the loss of eight wickets (Philson 70, H. Hussey 53, Haddon 45, and Dacro 49). . City playing Grafton batted first, and made the fine stand of 380 runs for six wiokets (R. Neil 204 not out in a fine innings, and Beechey 56). Ponsonby playing Eden were disposed of for 110 runs, and Eden re-, plied with 166 runs for the loss of two wickets (Brooke-Smitli 69, Elliott 54 not out, and Relf 26). So far Eden, have won.two matches, and City, Grafton, Parnell, and North Shore one each, whilst Ponsonby lias had two defeats.

Tho first innings of the Englishmen ended for 301. There was dull -muggy •weather, and a temporary change .in the wind brought up rain which stopped play for 10 minutes, but did not affect tho cricket. Barnes, ' howling a splendid length, had the batsmen tied -up from the start and he a.ime out .with a really fine average. YVit'li Diamond dismissed in the first few minutes ,thoso who followed were oycr-cautious and tho next-' two wickets went down with only 14 on the board, of which Trumpet' contributed 9. The weather cleared fine before tho resumption after lunch. Trumper and Hopkins made a stand, the former batting brilliantly, -and brought up 75 before Braund brought about his downfall by a smart catch in -the slips. Hopkins was caught precisely in ia similar manner by Hutchings a few minutes later and Barnes had now captured 4 wickets for 13. The remainder' of the New South YVales wickets fell rapidly, although McCartney. and Blaxland stonewalled for a time. The attendance was about 25,000. Additional scores: ENGLAND. —FIRST INNINGS.

(Received Nov. 23, 8.3 p.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 23. Jones, tho English captain, decided to bat instead of sending N._ S. AA’alcs in again. Before scoring Jones, who had gone in with Fnno, gave Blaxland a chance, in tho silips, which was accepted. Fane •played the howling with tlio utmost freedom, and had rattled up 38 when he had tho bad luck to bo run out. Braund and Hutchings made a long and serviceable stand, each scoring steadily, but tho excellent bowling of McCartnoy and -Noblo made the batsmen cautious, and they’ were the means of keeping down the runs. Hutchings, however, at- times indulged in some hard hitting at anything that was loose. Rhodes played a slow and jiatdent innings. When tho century was hoisted Hutchings went out to Johnston, and missing tlio ball was •clean bowled after a good display. Scores:— E-NGiLAN D. —Secon d Innings.
