Greenwood The opening of the EHerslie Gardens (dcs cribed at; length in onr .Saturday's issue) was one of the moat successful affairs of the kind in Auckland for years past. The fine grounds were thronged by thou sands of people during the day. Trains no bayoad the entrance to the cattle show and landed excursionists right at the entrance to the grounds. Very general admiration has been expressed by the thousands who have thronged the gardens to-day at the excellent way which they have been laid out, and there cannot be a doubt bat that this will become one of the most popular resorts around Auckland. The Caledonian games which had been provided for the amusement of visitors passed off successfully. The chief objection we had to them was their number, and the consequent length of time occupied in their performance The management was by no means efficient, and the course was badly kept during the races. For a first venture, however, the affair must be pronounced a success. Mr. Graham was indefatigable in his attempts to have everything carried out properly.

THE CRICKET MATCH.

The promised match in the Domain this afternoon between " England" and "The World" attracted a large number of spectators. We should think, on a near gueHs. that there could not have been less than 200 persons present, on the ground. A booth was erected at the north end, and refreshments amply provided by Mr. Brighton, of the Domain. There was nothing especially striking in the first innings of the "England" eleven. The batting of Dufaur was remarkably good, and by careful steady action he scored seventeen. Robinson acted as captain in the unavoidable absence of Mr Bees, and Mr Yates acted in the same capacity for the "World," of which ten members only were present. The following are the scores up to time of our going to Press :—
