Picnic Matches at Notts TEST PROSPECTS. WEATHER UNCERTAIN. (From the Special Correspondent of United Press Assn, with Team), i (Received August 11, 11.35 p.m.) NOTTINGHAM, August 11. Page, Vivian, Dunning, Hadlee and Donnelly are resting for the test match. The Nottingham match is part of a festival arranged by Sir Julian Cahn, to aid the funds <rf the Harlow Wood Hospital. There are to be three twoday matches between Cann’s team and teams representing Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland; at a private ground at Loughborough. A feature is the engagement of famous military bands to play at the lunch and tea intervals. The Welsh Guards’ Band will provide selections at the New Zealanders’ match, the Coldstream Guards at the match with Ireland, and the Horse Guards at the match with Scotland. The tourists are the guests of Sir Julien Cahn, while they are in Nottingham. Fames strained his side during a try-out at the nets yesterday at Chelmsford. He is playing to-day against Middlesex, and he hopes to play in the test. Robins was struck by a bumper from Gover in a match with Surrey, but he probably will be fit for the test. Rain fell at London last night, and the weather is uncertain for the test. Dunning was among those who took the Master of Arts degree on Degree Day at Oxford. The New Zealanders last night received an official intimation that they will return via Australia, playing matches against South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
