LONDON, 11th February.
The "Daily Express" states that there is every indication that a Test match fever is coming this summer, as the demand for seats is unprecedented. The Oval Lords, Trent Bridge, Qld Trafford, and Headingley are all providing additional accommodation. All the grandstand seats have been sold out at Lords for the second Test, and additional clerical staff has been engaged to deal with the correspondence. Only a few seats are left in the other stands, though tickets will not be sent out until 12th June., Tickets are still available for the match at the' Oval on 14th August, but a leading ticket agency is negotiating a deal for a large number of tickets. Lancashire is refusing to reserve any seats, and large sums of money have already been returned.
