THE THIRD TEST AT PORT ELIZABETH.
BY SIXBAD. Oh ! Sing of Port Elizabeth ! Can Maoriland once more prevail? New Zealand waits with bated breath to-morrow morning’s fateful tale.-~ With honours easy up to now, the team that wins the crown to-day, will on the box seat be, I vow, with only one more test to play. The pressman touring with the side has told a somewhat meagre tale, for in his job he takes no pride, his news is colourless and pale. But one thing he has made quite clear, a thing that fills our hearts with doubt, the Springboks give a joyous cheer to find that we’ve left Nicholls out. In Lilburne gees—that’s very fine—he has Strang beaten by a mile, with Nicholls to complete the line, the Springboks soon would cease to smile. But no, Lance Johnson’s picked again, although his form is only fair, which brings a thought to many men that there is something fishy there.
