South Africa, 2nd. innings 200 (Catterail 58), R. Tyldesley 7 for 52. Lancashire 2nd. 36 for 0. Lancashire won by ten wickets. ENGLISH TEST TEAM LAUDED. LONDON. July 19. Representative cricketers of three generations attended a banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London at the Mansion House, in honour of the English test cricketers. The tables were decorated with red and white carnations. After welcoming the guests, the Lord Mayor said it was peculiarly appropriate that this function should coincide with the late W. G. Grace’s birthday. Cricket, he said, expressed the ideals of the British race, which hound England and the Empire.

Lord Harris, proposed the health of the team, coupling with the toast thename of Captain Chapman. Chapman, the captain, on rising to respond, was greeted with prolonged applause. He said that this invitation to the Mansion House had come to them in Australia at the right time, just after the extraordinary strain of the 'fourth test, when, he said, they needed a bit of a lift, they realised that the people at Home were most interested in their tour. No member of the test team, said Chapman, deserved special praise. Mr P. F. Warner, in responding to the toast, said he believed that the wider wicket had come to stay. He hoped the Australians would adopt it ■for their inter-St,ate matches and for the next test. Chapman had done something out of the common in defeating so determined and valiant an antagonist, whose skill, courage, and ability to get out of a tight place was undiminished. He assured the Australians of the warmest welcome in 1930.
