Last Night. The seventh round of the Auckland Cricket Association's district championships was concluded yesterday in line weather, hut on indifferent wickets.

New Plymouth had been twice defeated this season by the country team, and were anxious to avenge these defeats, which they succeeded in doing in no uncertain manner, winning by 177 runs. Steeds lost the toss, but Marsh, the Village skipper, made a grave error in putting New Plymouth ia to bat on a perfect wickat. Weston and Lash were the opening

batsmen, but with the score at six Wes-1 ton (5) was run out. Williams filled the | Vacancy and runs came at a fast rate., lash. (33) was out with the score atj&O, •after playing a nice innings. Whittle on, runs still came at a good rate, and 02 fcras on the board when Marsh beat (Williams, who had made 30. With "McLaren in, runs were not coming so •fast, but he and Whittle had carried the itotal to 120 when Whittle was caught <at the wickets after compiling 33.' Goss <and Steeds did not last long, but Cook

and McLaren had 158 up whra the latter was out to a full-tossed ball, which <came over his head. "Mac" made 45, 'marred by a couple of hard chances/ Cook kept on scoring steadily, and at 'the end of the innings had 42 not out to •his credit. He had played faultlessly. ©'Byrne, for Eginont Village, trundled •splendidly and deserved a far better 'average than he got. The fielding of the country team was patchy. Wanting 220 to win, Egmont Village went into hat, but a procession set in right •from the start and continued throughout the innings. The whole team was (out for 42 runs. A'Byrae ,(9) and (March (8) were the highest contribut'brs. Goss did most damage with the liall, securing six wickets for 17 runs. Scores:— XEW PLYMOUTH.

The A. team went in again and compiled 124. thanks chiefly to the tine batting performance

of Robertson, who made 71 in line free stylo.
