This annual fixture was played at Eden Park, Auckland, on Easter Saturday and Monday, 15th and 17th April. Heavy rain left the wicket very sodden, and the outfield dead. Neither team was at its full strength. Auckland won the toss and elected to bat. The first wicket fell at 25 and the next at 40. With the advent of Garrard the scoring improved and the score was steadily taken to 156 for the seventh wicket, when Garrard who had played a solid innings for 73, was bowled by Anderson. The innings closed for 176. The fielding of Victoria was keen, and the bowling steady. Anderson secured 7 wickets for 53 runs.

Victoria made a sound start, 49 runs being put on before the first wicket fell, and there was a prospect of a fine stand; but with the exception of Ronaldson, who played a good innings for 34, and Miles who made a very lucky 19, the batsmen were not impressive, and the whoke side was dismissed for the small total of 90. The bowling of Auckland was good, particularly that of Goodwin who came out with the fine figures of five for 17. Saunders secured 5 for 40.

In their second venture Auckland had 220 to their credit for the loss of eight wickets at the luncheon adjournment, and declared their innings closed.

This left Victoria 307 to win, but they were all disposed of for 137. Donaldson (44) and Cousins (48) were the chief scorers.

At the luncheon held on the second day, Mr. Speight, of the Auckland team, very kindly offered to give a trophy for annual competition between the four University Colleges, and it is our hope for the next cricket season to win that trophy. The following are the detailed scores:—
