PRETORIA, July 24

The New Zealand team to-morrow will be:—Lindsay, Lucas, Carleton, Grensido, Nicholls, Johnson, Dailey, Hore, Swain, M. Brownlie, Aliev, C. Brownlie, Ward, McWilliams. One of the forwards names has apparently been omitted. Pretoria Districts team is:—Gush, Dewit, Mclntyre, Dabic Liebenberg, Kotzc, Chapman, Kruger, Van Ruten, Nykamp, Mortimer, Gcere, Glatthaar, Strachan and Geyser. The match is regarded as a minor test, and one of the hardest of the tour. The pack is considered as good as the Transvaal pack. Great things are expected of the Pretoria backs. THE INJURED SICK. Harvey comes out of hospital on Saturday. It is proposed to send him to Capetown where the climate should suit him. He will not play any more this tour. Hadley’s shoulder was X-rayed and found to be badly damaged. He also is not likely to play again on the tour. The Aucklander is particularly unlucky for he has been one of the best all round forwards on the side. Burrows is almost fit again, and should be able to take the field in about a week. McGregor’s knee is improving, b’“ will be some time before he again plays. Kilby’s ankle comes out of pL.'d'"on Thursday. After that he should be able to limp around without crutches. Rushbrook is now suffering from influenza. CONGRATULATIONS PROM N.Z. WELLINGTON, July 24. The Prime Minister has dispatched the following message to the Manager of the All Black team, Mr W. F.
