Rah Stops Ptay at Lunch: The great public interest taken in the nnaj test match had clear proof thie morning, w<hen, despite the uoaetHed weather, fully 10,000 people had aeaefmbted at Kenmington! Oval. Some time before the start there was a blustering wsLnd and sUgfht sbowera. but the &un shone when SherweM, having aga,in lost the toss, led tihe Soath Africa-ns <m to the ne-ld at half-past etevon. 8. D. Snooke c&mpleted the visati'ng team instead of Tan- cred; while of the twelve chosen for England J. N. Cr&wford wae preferred to R.hodes, the pitcih, if not fast, being quite nrm. Hayward and Fry opened Eoglemd'a innings, and there was a seniaaAtOinaJ oom- mencement, Vogler getting H-&ywaxd leg before nrst baJl. TMs immediaibe dasaater to Engila-nd ca.uaed gTea<t excitement.

Foster then jotmed Fry. bot he et&rted nervooaty—not eo much in actual batting, but in running—and both he and Fry had &ome na.rrow esoa.pee.

The dhajiges turned the play quieter for a. few overs, the arst hottr's cricket bringdng the tota.1 to 67. Schwaj-z frequently had Fry in dUmc-ulties. Poster played White well. So mu.ch work did Soh'waj'z get on tthe baJl and eo good was his length tfba.t of his Smst edx ovara fowr were ma-idems. Foster, however, drove Whdte several trmes in ca.pitaj style, a.nd at length got Schwafz to the leg boumdi.u'y. Voglcr resumed at 96. Foeter, after batting an hour, brought hds score to 46. Foster &t 46 had a narrow escape from dis- al by Vogler, playing the ball just short of S<xhwa.rz, and at 105 waa leg before, an invalua.Me pa.rtneraliip of an hour and twenty minutes ha-ving prod'uoed 86 runs. Hia innings, excellent foa* the most paj-t, included only four 4's. Braund joined Fry, who, when 42, might possibly have been ran ottt had Shalde-rs retnrned better. Genevadly speajiing, how- ever, the Reiding waa very emaa-t and the bowMng exceHc-nt. Just be-foro 1\1J101..tJime o}ortds gathered, and j the pIa-yeiTH were dirtrven from the add by raj.n.

THE i MOROCCO WAR I ?————- ————— An Arab U)timatum «FRENCH TO BE EXTER- MINATED." A caMegvaon from Oaea Blanoa says tha<t a oonrier arrived from the Ara.b Kabyles to see General Drude. He told the French commander that unless the Frecoh Mtrrendered immo&ately the Ara-bs in great force would destroy Mie French and the town. No reply was given to t<Ms message.— .Renter. The crnieer Caasmi, which has arrived at Gibraltar for ooa.1 and provisions, reports that a'H was quiet at Casa BIanoa when she left. aIthoTbgh hostile tribes were mobilising haH-way between that town and Mazagan, and it was feared that they wonid att"k the later place.

Spaniards Inactivity I The Paris Figaro" has received the fol- lowing telegram from Ca&a Blan43a:- The attitude of the Spaniards still causes eome astoniBhjnent. At five o'clock yeeter- day afternoon they marched with buglea Bounding to & position destined for them outside the town. It waa thought that they were going to occupy it, but they inarched round the opot, remained there for a few momenta, and then returned to Oaaa Bla-noa without informing General Drude, who, believing himaelf protected by them, had called in his sentries from that side. All of a sudden he perceived that he was no longer guarded on the west. Inquiries elicited the information that the Spaniards had merely been making a reoonnaieeance. They intend repeating this performance to- dy, and will then reach a deci&ion. Europeans, even &pa.niBh residents, express surprise at the inactivity of the Spaniah troops, who are to be peen idle in the etreetB, whereas their French comrades, always at, outpot,'ftB, have never an hour of liberty."
