THE AUSTRALIAN TOUR.

THE TEST MATCH,

[Psr Press Association. I Dunedin, March 10

The takings at the cricket match yesterday amounted to £54; £57 was taken on Friday and £247 15s on Saturday, the total for the three days amounting to £358 15s It being a test match, Mr Sims takes 50 per cent, of the gross takings (£179 7s. (id.) In other matches he takes 60 per cent. ; 20 per cent, goes to the lessees of the ground (£7l 15s) and £3O to the New Zealand Cricket Council (£lO7 12s 6d). Out of the Counicl’s quota,

all travelling expenses of New Zealand players, advertising, etc., have to be paid, so it seems highly probable that the Council will sustain a loss over the match.
