THIRD TEST CROWD. PRIVATE PEOPLE OFFER BEDS. (Per Press Association —Copyright). AUCKLAND, Sept. 17. - Auckland residents have responded rcad.ly to an appeal to provide accommodation for visitors to the city to see the final Rugby Test match between the Springboks and AL Bla ks, and by to-night approximately 800 boos ha 1 been offered. The Auckland Office ot the Tourist Department, which set up the Emergency Accommod-.tion Bureau in conjunction with the Auckland Rugby Union, is handling the scheme. A feature of the oners :s the l a -'go number from people who have never before had paying guests in their homes. In many eases, those offering accommodation had no idea what to charge. Some of the people offering beds for visitors did not wish to make any .charge. The results to date indicate unmistakably the desire on the part of Aucklanders to relieve the anxiety of those who otherwise would be faced with the prospect of walking the streets on Friday of next week, said the Mayor, Sir Ernest Davis. I would ask the ert'zens not to he backward in filling th • breach.”
