Newman receives 7000, opposing Lindrum in London. lie has scored 8520, including a break of 259. Lindrum has made 1522, including breaks'of 245, 226, and 200. I At ,snooker, Newman, who receives 200, has scored-341, and Lindrum *74. McConaehy is meeting Davis at Cardiff. > The tournament was opened at Thurston’s by Lord Lonsdale, who paid at tribute : to: Lindrum’s prowess, and described him as unique, the Australian conceding 7000, whereas in othgf days 2000 would have'been re-’ 'garded as an enormous handicap. ! As though slightly' awed by the occasion the players were some time in settling down, especially Lindrum,. who firstly-failed in a number- of 'shots’ 1 Which would have presented 'small difficulty to an amateur. His gossamer touch in close cannons was noticeably: absent, but improved later with a break, of 200. The pace of the table appeared to worry both players.

'l”he other record made by .c«eliles was in sending down 71 overs (426 halls) in the first innings of Australia. ; There are six instances of a howler sending down more halls in a Test match' innings in Australia, hut fur 44 years Tom Garrett has held the record in England "with 896 halls, at the ' Oval iii 1886.

The fhiiil ,'sfeiiior inatcli of. the Auckland Rugby Union’s' season between'the touring reps, and the homo reps, on Saturday developed into a farce rather than a. game' of foothall. The teams did not take the •field as originally chosen-niid at-three o’clock the officials were looking for players to fill flic vacancies. . A majority of the ’ players treated the match' as .a joke and nearly half 'the four hundred odd spectators showed their "opinion of the -game by leaving tlio ground at* I 'ha If-time. Comp hunts were heard about- the. Rugby Union charging for admission to the ground and staging such farcical football as a reward. Even the referee joined in t-lio farce by converting one try in front., of'tho posts' and, to- end ft all,'the. timekeeper rang the bell when Corner was . running oyer to score, the ball- hoy attempting to convert .the try. ,
