FOURTH TEST BOOKINGS. (By Telegraph- -Per Press Association.) , -■;•./ WELLINGTON, July 18. Despite! the all night vigil, many of those forming the queue at- Athletic Park, engaged to purchase tickets when the plan opened this morning, for the fourth testj” were disappointed, their claim being jumped by. others who appeared late on the scene, and. » butted in ahead. - The greater number however, were successful in their mission. The seats, of course, were all sold out in quick time. There was no confusion in the actual sale. The ; trouble occurred outside the room In which the tickets were being sold, and . it is alleged by one man, who had en- t gaged nearly 200 men to make purchases, that there was a lack of supervision, especially at the section where the queue had to pass down a. stairway. It was here that a number of late' arrivals made forcible 4 ehtry .Ip!, into the queue, and their addition to the ranks cut out many, who in the ordinary course of events, would have been well within the limits of the fourteen hundreds tickets available. y: The Rushy Union took no responsibil* &• ity for the good conduct of the queue.
