In the itinerary of the All Blacks' tour of South Africa, announced some time ago, no details of the engagements were given other than the places at which matches would be played. From Mr. Solomon, secretary of tho South African Rugby Football Board, the following official list of matches was obtained to-day, together with information regarding the places where the tourists will be accommodated :

berley. June 9.—V. Transvaal, at Johannesburg. June 13.—V. Orange Free State (country), at Kroonstad. June 16.—V. Transvaal, at Johannesburg. June 20. —V. Western Transvaal, at Potshefstroom.

Rhodesian fifteen, at Bulawayo. July 21. —V. South Africa (second test), at Johannesburg. July 25.—V. Pretoria districts, at Pretoria. July 28. —V. Orange Free State, at Bloemfontein. August I.—V.

Accommodation at hotels during the tour promises to be fully taxed. In fact, at Bulawayo (Rhodesia) it will take two hotels to accommodate the tourists. The arrangements in this direction provide for the All Blacks, on their secoud visit to Capetown for the final matches of the tour, being accommodated at Sea Point, some little distance out of town. A few further details have been obtained regarding the charges for matches. The cost of seeing the tests will evidently be- heavy, if the prices for the Transvaal test (the second) are to be taken as a guido. Covered stand seats for this test will cost £2 2s and £1 Is, while uncovered seats will be obtainable at 15s.
