SATURDAY’S TEST.
ATTENDANCE NOT LESS THAN 58,000. AUCKLAND QUIET DURING THE WEEK-END. AUCKLAND, September 27. Rugby Union officials are unable to give the exact total of the attendance at Saturday’s Test, but it can be officially stated that it was not less than 58,000, as compared with the pre vious record of 45,250 for the third Test against the British team at Eden Park, in 1930. The official gate and grandstand takings on Saturday last are not available, as the banks are closed in celebrations of Dominion Day. Notwithstanding the great crowds, the weekend in Auckland was one of the quietest on record. There were only two arrests at Eden Park on charges of disorderly conduct while drunk, and five inebriates appeared at the Police Court to-day. No cases of crime were reported during the weekend.—(P.A.)
