CROWD WAITS IN ALL-NIGHT QUEUE FOR SEATS ALREADY BOOKED.—Although the booking plan for grandstand seats for the third Test match was advertised to open this morning, the crowd began to gather at the sports depot in Exchange Lane early on Saturday afternoon. By midnight a crowd of 200 had gathered in the pouring rain and “chits’' were issued, entitling the holders to seats. Many refused to recognise these and all day yesterday the crowd grew larger and larger. The pictures show, left: Some of the waiting men passing away the time at a game of cards last evening. Right: A part of the crowd that still hopefully waited for the office to open this morning.
