AUCKLAND V. THAMES. , The Auckland United and Thames Cricket Clubs met in friendly rivalry at Parawai today. The ground was" in good order- Mr CJark, captain of the latter, who won the toss, elected to send the visitors in, and Mumford and Dufaur faced tho bowling of Coney* and JEgginton. Mamford scored freely off Coney's first^^r, and both batsmen pl*yed the howiin^Urith ease, so a change was made, Thomassrelieving Egginton.' ?In his fir^t over Dufaur" was, run out the, sopre standing one wicket for 21 runs.' After the fall of a few wickets the bowling ami fielding improved very much indeed. Epginton made a splendid catch, as a"? Hoskins also made a good catch at Igst^ 5 field. Ck ney and Smith bowled well, the latter's average being excellent. . Coney bowled throughout the innings, which closed for 68— a small „ score considering the batsmen, The Thames men. then went to the , wickets,, and though all scored with the exception of Mills, their batting was not' very strong, and tin y were all disposed of for 42.

An adjournment was made to lunch at about 2 o'clock, and play was resumed at 2 20, to the bowling of Coney and Smith.
