AucklaricTgained a first-innings lead. ..0f,.64 over AYellington as the result of' the second day,’is play in the Plunket Shield cricket match, which was continued at Eden Park to-day. The weather was gloriously fine, and the wicket was in first-class condition, but the AVellington batsmen generally made a poor showing against a steady attack. It was a day of slow scoring, and Lowry, was the only batsman who looked like mastering the howling. Dempster and Cameron started off cautiously, but the former was run out when he had scored 24. Cameron continued to bat with the utmost caution, an<l although he gave several chances, remained at the wickets over four hours for 71. runs. Lo.wry attacked the bowling, andscored 61 in 100 minutes, but the latter batsmen failed badly. Every Auckland bowler commanded respect, in spite' of the fact'that Allcott did not handle the attack well. Matheson, AVensley, Allcott and Anthony in particular re-

qufral icawePitlj watching. Cleverley wiis not bowletl enough. Auckland fielding suffered from occasional lapses, and Hunt behind the wickets was patchy, missing several stumping chances, but taking two catches. One catch which dismisesd .Massey, was a. brilliant effort on t'.c leg side from a scoring shot. Auckland hatted for 25 minutes before stumps, and scored 30 without loss, Mills showing his best form in Contributing 25. Suores : AUCKLAND:—First Innings 297 AL> OK LAND—Seeon d Inn in gs A. J.

HOKITIKA V. RUATAPU

A DISPUTED FINISH

Mas game took place at the Mental Hospital grounds yesterday, and there was a somewhat sensational finish to the match. , Fuatapu made 84 in the first i„j nlngs > Hok itika replying with 57. In the second innings Ruatapu made 30 | leaving Hokitika .58 to make to win.’ | Here a dispute arose between the Itwo teams as to the time of drawing stumps, Ruatapu desiring to draw at 6 p.m. and Hokitika at 6.30 p.m IJ]_ timately the later hour was decided on and at 6.5 p.m. Hokitika went in to bat having 25 minutes to make the 58. There was some fast scoring and before the last hall .of the over before time was called the Ruatapu bowler Ainger ..enquired how many runs were required to win and being told five, threw down a wide. The ball ran to the boundary and four byes were also claimed, these giving Hokitika the victory by 7 wickets, a claim that their opponents strongly objected to, and considerable feeling was was shown by some of the players on both sides. As matters now stand Hokitika claim a 7 wicket win, with the resultant 3 point win. The matter is, we .understand. being referred to headquarters of the district cricket for a ruling.
