Princeton, Saturday. CROWD of 40,000 saw Jack Lovelock, of New Zealand, the British Empire's greatest miler, beat Bill Bonthron, of Princeton, holder of the world's 1,500 metres record, by 10 yards in 4 minutes 11 1-5 secs. in the "mile of the century on the famous Princeton University (Palmer Stadium) track to-day.

Wyatt may apply the closure to hat at the overnight total, but it is doubtful whether the policy would justify itself against - a very strong batting side such as the South Africans are at pre- sent fielding.
