Play in the ma^b was stopped at a quarter to six o'clock owing to the failure of light. The attendance was 2300. Macartney is the only man who ; has scored two centuries in one match against South Africa. Public opinion is strong that he should be again included in the team for the Fifth Test. Who to leave out. will be the puzzle for the selectors. AfEer Hill's eulogy of Hordern's bowling he is considered certain of inclusion.
