Our informant states that the Kauae ranga boys were grea'.y overmatched as regards the age and experience of their opponents—Mercer, for instance, being a young man, etid a clever membar of a cricket -club in Auckland. He should have been disqualified at the outset, as it ought to have been boy for boy only. When Mercer was put out by Greenville there was a general "hcova.y"-~ glad they had got rid of a foiaiidable bpponent. Our youngsters played well, consideriag the odds against them. We shall, on receipt, publish thp full ax^eSt The
Kauaeranga boys play the Grammar School to-day. We hope they will have " boys " to play against this time.
