FOOTBALL MATCHES.

The Senior Cup.

Poxsonby v. Gordon. — The concluding ma teh of the series for possession of the Senior Cup took, place at Potter's paddock on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of some 1,500 people. It was generally ex pected that Ponsonby would beat Gordon, but the match by no means proved the hollow affair that most people imagined it would be. Gordon has not played better this season, and with a fresh wind in their favour they managed to keep the play during the greater portion of the first spell in their op ponents' territory. Their 'forward division was decidedly stronger than that of Ponsonby, but the fast backs of the .latter team made up for this dispar ity. About twenty minutes after the start Ponsonby scored first blood. Wooller went with a dribble, and, taking the.ball past the Gordon's backs and ever the* line, fell upon it and touched down. Arneiltook the place at goal, bub did not score. Shortly afterwards Gordon rushed the ball once more into Ponsonby's 25, and Lindsay, getting the ball, ran pretty well up' to the goal, where he »was collared. The ball meanwhile was kicked forward, and Binney, ever alert, threw himself upon it and gained a try. Lusk took the shot at the bars, and made a fine attempt, but the umpires gave it as a poster, although it looked to those under the post a fair goal. After the kick out, and from a scrum in neutral ground, Whiteside got the ball from a Gordon pass and pasaea the opposing backs, but was collared from behind by Poland just five yards from the line. He managed to force the ball as he fell, and Wooller, who had folk wed up well, took it over with his feet.and scored aaecond try. He took the place himself, but was unsuccessful. In the second spell the contest was quite as spiritedly contested but despite all Gordon's efforts Ponsonby again scored, Whitcside gaining a try which Wooller converted into a goal. The game ended thus :— Ponsonby 9 points, Gordon 2 points. Ponsonby accordingly carries off both the Senior and Junior Cups for 1887. For Ponsonby White side, Danks, Wooller, Stone and Stephen son played well, and for Gordon Binney, Lindsay, H. Poland, McCausland and both MeldruiiiS distinguished themselves.

Association Matches. Devonport v. Ellerslie.—These two clubs met on the ground of the former to play off a match postponed at the beginning of the season on account of the weather. After a friendly game Devon port came off victorious, to the tune of 2 goals to love. The Devon port Club have played fourteen matches during the snason: won 4, drawn 1, lost 9. 19 goals scored against and 11 for. Being about the last club formed they laboured under a great disadvantage for the first few matches, only two or three of their players understanding the science of the game. Latterly, however, there has been a marked improvement in the play of this club and their matches with the Saracens and Links are amongst the stiffeat encounters which have taken place. As an instance of the hard lines which have attended the Devonpbrt Club we may men tion that in six out of the nine matches lost, they were only beaten by one goal. Ellerslie 11. beat Beresford 11. by three goals to nil. Goals were kicked by lley nell, Lawrence and Charles. Sanderson and Jones played well for Beresford,

Minor Matches. Richmond v. Rivals.—The former won by 17 points and 2 disputed tries to nil. Moxtrosk v. True Blues.—The former won by 22 points to nil, Britomart I. defeated Orient 11. by 13 points to 2. Albany y. MebcUky.—The former won by 9 points to nil, a try being obtained by Vercoe while Smith obtained two goals. r j Auckland v. Clevepo'nv—The first eleven of the' Auckland F.C. obtained their first win of the season on Saturday, when they smote the Clevedon Club from South Wairoa to the tune of 50 points to nothing. The visitors were overmatched from the start, though they played up pluckily. Eden y. True Blue.—The latter claim the match, as Eden did not roll up. In' ( T)lace of above match True Blues de featelT Montrose I. by 2 points to nil. Helensville v. Albert.—A fifteen from Helensville tried conclusions with the Albert on Saturday, but they were de feated by 26 points. The Albert played three or four backs from other club.*, but the result would no doubt have been the same if their own men bad played.

First Joxioks v. Second Juniors,—Very little interest was taken in this contest, owing to the counter-attraction of the Ponsonby-Gordon match, and this, no doubt, accounts for only one Ponsonby player rolling up out of six picked for the Juniors. A scratch team was, however, raked together, and both sides played fourteen men. The game was a very close one, and finally resulted in a draw, both sides scoring a try. C. Mackie got over for the Juniors, and Cooke for the Seconds. Drummond, Stone, and Wynyard were the most conspicuous for the Juniors, and Jervis, Smart, Andrews, and Magill for the Seconds.

Gee and I'ottf.r v. Cousins and Atkin. —The teams were mostly composed of blacksmiths, and the game was a hot and fiery one, steam-hammer kicks being in dulged in by both sides. Gee and Potter secured a try in the first spell, and in the latter spell Cousins and Atkin secured three tries, two of which, however, were disputed, leaving the match a draw. Fruit and drinks were supplied ad lib,, and the game was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A return match will shortly bo played.

MINING NEWS.

Thames, this day.

Moan atauri.—The prospects of this company in the Caledonian section of their mine show a decided improvement. It is necessary to explain that for some time past Rickards and party have been tributing on the Red Queen leader at No. 3 level on the Caledonian, and have been doingfairly well, some of the quartz yielding as much as 30z5..t0 the load. They have just finished a crushing of 8 loads general dust for 23ozs gold, and the drive ha« now been extended to the Moauatairi boundary. Although the leader has been rather disturbed during the last few feet owing to it 3 proximity to a clay head, it is again beginning to show sigr-s of making stronger, and good colours of gold have been observed in the quartz. An opinion is ex pressed here that this will yet prove to. be identical with the Cambria reef, which could be soon proved by sink ing a winze from No. 2 level of the old Golden Crown. The drive is now over 1,000 feet from the shaft, so that the work would prove of incalculable benefit for ven tilation purposes, while it would settle the identity of the reef. It is to be hoped that the directors will see their way clear to have operations prosecuted in a system atic manner in this direction, as there is an excellent chance of meeting with something good.. Prince Impebial.—The reef continues to look well, and produces a few pounds of picked stone occasionally. Crushing is shaping about 18dwts to the load. New Manukku.— Good dabs of gold are 6een in the quartz being obtained from the reef at No. 4 level.

The creditors of E. Bradford have re quested the Assignee to realise the assets to the best advantage.

Mr Council's committees meet at A\ aifes Hall, Mount Eden, and the Public Hall, Mount Albert, tins evening afc 7.30, Mr Connell addresses the electors of Eden at Point Chevalier to-night. Mr Seddon received a vote of thanks and confidence at Dunganville on Friday even ing. He spoke strongly in favour of tho Government. L.J ■ - . Mr G.W. Russell has been well received in Te Aroha division of Waikato electorate and has obtained enthusiastic rotes of con fidence. „ ' Mr Lundon is making a hard fight for Bay of Islands seat. At Opua on Saturday night his meeting was well attended, and every hand but one one was held up in favour of thanks and full confidence. Mr J. A. Connell addressed the Eden electors of the Swanson District at the Public Hall, Swanson, on Saturday evening. The hall was crowded. Mr William Hiett occupied the chair. Mr Connell spoke v pon all the chief political questions of the day, and resumed his seat amidst great applause. A large number of questions were asked and answered to. Mr A. J. Thomas moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Connell, which was seconded by Mr D. Crawford, and carried unanimously, with three hearty cheers for Mr Connell. At a meeting of the Committee held subse quently, nine additional electors added their names to the local committee, and thoroughly satisfactory reports were re ceived as to the support the candidate would be awarded in the Swan? on and Waibakerei Districts. Arrangements were made for polling day, and the meeting adjourned ab a late hour. At the adjourned meeting of Mr- Withy s Committee, held in St George's Hall on Saturday evening, there was a large attendance, and a continuance of the previous night's enthusiasm, while satis factory reports were still the order. It was stated that there is no doubt as to the certainty of Mr Withy's return.

The Kailway and Voters. The arrangements of the Wellington- Manawatu Railway Company for the day of polling are in marked contrast with the attitude of the Governmeut,who stead fastly refuse to lay on special trains for the convenience of voters. Tho Company pro poses, if a sufficient number of voters de sire it, to arrange trains so that electors leaving town at 10.30 a.m., after having voted in the city, may vote at Paikiriki for Foxton, Palmerstbn North and for Mana watu, and, proceeding through the Gorge by a trap, vote there for the Woodville dis trict, reaching town again shortly after mid night. The Company (caustically remarks the " Post") understands its business ; the Government apparently does not.

Marsden.

Mr Dargaville addressed a crowded meeting in ,the Whangarei Hall on Satur day afternoon, and was exceedingly well received, although in his opponent's strong hold.

At Porohi, on Friday, over 60 electors met to hear an address from Mr Dargaville, and as the meeting was largely composed of men who had worked for him in the Wairoa in the old days, the candidate had everything his own way. A vote of con fidence and pledge of support was un animously carried amidst prolonged cheers. Mr Rawnsley was Chairman. Mr Robti Thompson addressed a crowded meeting at Whangarei on Friday night. Mr P. S. Brown, formerly County Chairman, was in the chair. Mr Thompson's speech was a repetition of former ones., At the close a vote of thanks and confidence was carried unanimously. i -,

The Speech by Mr Bryce.

Wanganui, this day.

At the nominations for Waitotara seat to day there was a good attendance, and con siderable interest was shown in the proceed ings. Bryce, in his speech, expressed regret that he could not take the same cheerful view of the state of the colony that some people did, but he believed it to be in a really serious condition. He, of course, de clared as a decided opponent of the Minis try, and said that if the result of the elec tion was to relegate him to private life no one would hear a word of complaint from him.

Mr Hutchinson followed, and declared himself a follower of the present Ministry on the grounds of its liberal policy. He seemed confident as to the result of the election, and said he had no doubt at all as to how it would turn out.

Mr Morgan posed as ah independent candidate, whose views were much the same as Mr Bryce, but as he was not attached to any party lie was free from party ties. M r Bryce said his one policy was retrench ment. The meeting was orderly through out, and all candidates were well received. About two-thirds of those present voted.

Sir Julius Vogel Visits Napier.

Wellington this day,

A deputation from Napier—consisting of Messrs H. Williams, Jackson, and Napthal —waited on Sir Julius Vogel a few days ago and urged them to visit that town and address the people in order to counteract the effect of Mr Ormand's speech. Sir Julius Vogel was at h'rst.disinelined, I believe, to visit Napier for that purpose, but after some persuasion he promised to go there during the week and speak in the Theatre Royal next Saturday night. A number of residents at Woodville are anxious that he should speaji in township*, and it is probable he-will deliver an address there next Friday, going to Napier on the follow ing morning.

SIR WILLIAM FITZHERBERT.

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Wellington, this day. The fact of Sir William Fitzherbert having returned by the mail steamer is claimed by the "Evening Press" as proving its solution of the mystery con. necked with Sir Eobert S tout's cele brated letter to Sir Dillon Bell, namely, that it was written to apprise Sir Wm. Fitzherbert of the necessity of hastening back to New-Zealand. According to the same authority it is arranged that Mr Waterhouse shall resign the Speakership on an early date this week, and the present intention is that Sir Wm. Fitzherbert should be re-appointed. There is nevertheless just a possibility of a hitch in case that tho pledge given by Ministers before supply wasjvoted, that, they would make no new appointments to the Legislative Council, should be interpreted by the Governor as a pledge to refrain from making any appointments such as that pending.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
