SPRINGBOKS’ MATCH
ALL SEATS RESERVED SECOND TEST BOOKINGS (By Telegrapn.—press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday Three and a-half hours after booking opened this morning every available seat for the second test between the Springboks and the All Blacks, to be played at Christchurch on 'Saturday week, had been reserved. Hundreds were unable to get seats and money which had arrived from many country residents for the reservation of seats was returned to the senders. The seating accommodation at Lancaster Park is 6600 and prices of seats varied from 11s to £l. More than half that total number, however, was not available for reservation by those who waited patiently throughout Monday night in Cashel Street. About 3400 seats had been allocated to sub-unions and football clubs, and, in addition, life-members of the Canterbury Rugby Union, active referees and holders of season tickets were permitted to reserve seats on Monday.
