SUNDRY SPORTS.

CRICKET. SOUTH AUCKLAND V. WANGANUI (Ter Press Association.) Hamilton, March 17. The cricket match between Wanganui and South Auckland, for the Hawke Cup, commenced to-day in fine weather. South Auckland in the first innings scored .‘ll9 runs. Wanganui has lost six wickets for 61 runs. TENNIS. STRATFORD V. HAWERA. Though it rained mostly all day yesterday in Stratford, the weather was good at Hawera, and the Stratford Tennis Club players, who journeyed down to the southern town, had a splendid day’s outing. With Cameron, Anderson, Crawshaw, Curtis and Co. away, the Stratford team was by no means its strongest, and the fairly sub-

stantial win of the Hawera team by 53 games is no criterion as to the relative to strength of the two clubs, Scores (Hawera players being mentioned first in each case:—

SWIMMING. 50YDS. LADIES’ CHAMPIONSHIP. Sydney, March 18. Fanny Durack won the 50yds ladies’ swimming championship of New South Wales in 29 seconds. 1 FOOTBALL. WELLINGTON UNION FINANCE. Wellington, March 18. At the annual meeting of the Rugby Union last night, the president (Dr. Newman) brought under the notice of the meeting the unsatisfactory state of the Union’s finances. The treasurer reported that a crisis had arrived in the history of the Union. The position was due to the fact that the Union was obliged to pay through the nose for playing areas. For lower grade matches, in his opinion, the cost of football would have to be raised. The receipts must be increased. The profits on Athletic Park last year was £1155, and that amount had been, used to pay the rentals for other grounds. The matter was left in the hands of the incoming committee.
