NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. After a night journey the Springboks arrived by speeial train from Hamilton this morning so early that they needed a eup of tea on the train before going to their liotel for breakfast. The tourists were met by the Hon J. MoLeod, chairman of the IfUgby Union. No casualties are reported as a result of yesterday's game. Later in the morning the new Rugby Park, which will have its first international mateh cn Saturday, was inspeeted, and the Springboks decided to train this af ternoon. The visitors are impressed with the standard of Rugby seen in the two games played, but found the conditions at Hamilton very unfamiliar. The prospeets for a dry ground here are improving with sunshine and a breeze. At noon the visitors were given an official welcome by the Rugby Union, in which the Mayor, Mr F. Gilmour, participated. Hotel aecommodation in New Plymouth and nearby places is already fully taxed. Even tents are being requisitioned to cope with the expected record influx of visitors.
