(Special to the New Zealand Press Association.)'

(Received August 22, 8.55 a.m.)

OUDTSHOOBN (Cape), August 21. THE New Zealand team for to-rrtorrow against South Western Districts is:—

Full-back—l). F. Lindsay. Three-quarters—C. E. Rushbrook, S. R. Carleton, F. \Y. Eneas. Five-eighths—M. F. Xicholls, X. P. M'Grcgor. Half-back—W. A. Strang. Wing-forward—G. Scrimshaw. Forwards—J. T. Burrows, S. Hadley, R. F. Stewart, I. Harvey, R. M'Williams, P. Ward, K. Snow. There is great surprise at the inclusion of Harvey after so much illness, but the match is regarded as an easy one, which probably explains the fact. In any case, the team is very pleased that Harvey is fit enough to take the field again for the first time since the first match at Cape Town. M’Gregor is included again after seven weeks’ forced spell, llore is suffering from a poisoned thigh, but it is not regarded as serious. The All Blacks to-day went through the famous Cango Caves, seventeen miles from Oudtshoorn. The visit to these limestone caves was one of the most interesting and delightful outings of the tour. The drive in itself was worth while, since it led through green, fertile valleys, reminding the visitors of New Zealand again. Once they arrived at the caves the party changed into businesslike football togs and explored their wonders, which are really fine examples of stalactite and stalagmite formation. The caves have been lighted for a great distance with blue and red bulbs, throwing a soft light on the walls and roofs of various chambers.
