The third Ranfurly Shield match of the season was played here on Saturday, when the Auckland and Tnranaki Rugby representatives met inglorious weather, and before an attendance of about eight thousand spectators.

Auckland's team was not so strong as that which played against Wellington, Cunningham and Morse, being ill, while Murray played throughout with a crippled leg.
