(Received Feb. 26. noon.)

DURBAN, Feb. 25. Heavy’.rain overnight did not affect the wicket for the test.

The English bowling was again steady, and kept the scoring down. Voce bowled a short ball, bumping over the batsmen’s heads. One ball caught Seidle under the heart, and he collapsed temporarily.

•Christv placed a bright innings, but McMillan was liveliest, his six into the stand off Hammond being a herculean •effort. Cameron displayed the best variety of strokes. The English lidding was good. Cameron’s declaration left England an hour to bat. Tate batted in his usual cavalier fashion. He hit three sixers off ,Mitchell’s first over, right o\er the pavilion. There was a delay while the hall was recovered. .The mutch was drawn, and South Ah-t a thus woit the rubber. • Details: —• SOUTH AFRICA First Innings- ... ... ••• 252 1 Second Innings: Seidle, <. .Chapman, :h, White oO Mitchell.,o Haiitmond, b Voce ... 21 Christy, st Fairimotid, b Peebles ... 37 Taylor, lbw. b Peebles Id Viijoen, c Chapman, b Voce 18 Dalton, st Farrimoiid, b Peebles ... 11 Cameron, not out ■ 41 McMillan, c Chapman, b Wyatt ... 28 Vincent, not out ... ••• J Extras FI Total for seven wickets, decld. 219 Bowling: Tate, none for 17 ; Voce, two for 46: White, one for 37 : Peebles, three for 71; Wvatt, one for 6; Hammond, none for 28.
