test RECORDS. (Received this day at 10-30 a.m.) CAPETOWN, Jan. 2.

Further test records were shattered on New lands wicket when before twelve thousand spectators South A - rica demonstrated the wealth of their batting talent revealing how ordinary was the English attack. The innings was declared at 8 ror 513 which is a record. Taylor was irresistible and masterly and secured his seventh test century and with Cntterall was associated in a orignt forceful partnership yielding 148 runs in lub minutes breaking the record tor South African fourth wicket stand within 'the union. The wicket 1 hou°li GOfiv was crumbling. Chapman culled on all his rrvsoiirci* especially the slow spin bowler hut without avail, the batsmen meting out the same punishment to ad die attack. When Tavfor was dismissed for 117 after 179 minutes, his score including sixteen boundaries, the remaining batsmen were obviously under instruction to hit out and threw away their wickete until Deane declared at tea.

Hammond and A) vatt grimly set about the task of wearing down tne attack. Hammond’s toe was troublesome and a runner was Caution was the kevnote of the English •hatting but the score mounted steadily until McMillan, a slow spin howler broke a promising partnership at 75. Leyland | and Hammond safely played out time. _____________
