LONG QUEUE FOR RUGBY TEST MATCH.—One of the features of Saturday’s game at Lancaster Park was the speed with which the record crowd of more than 58,000 was handled before and after the match. When this photograph was taken, about 12.45 p.m., one queue for the embankment extended from the park gates down Stevens street, Falsgrave street, Moorhouse avenue, and across the overhead bridge at Waltham road, a distance of more than half a mile.
