Some of the Australians know Hubert Ashton and G. H. Gibsón very much to their cost, but they do know them as they know Hobbs and Tate. It was largely. owing to Ashton's batting and Gibson a bowling-together with Faulkner's 183- that, A. C. Maclaren's eleven was the first side to defeat Warwick Armstrong's team in that memorable match at East- bourne four years ago. Each is due homo on leave this summer.

AMERICANISING TENDENCIES IN BERLIN.
THE NEW GIRL.
A deputation of the managers of big German stores is being organised, Berlin correspondent says, which, after a prolonged tour, will set about Ameri- cuaising the big shops of Berlin and the. provinces. It will stay a few days in London on its way back and have a look round, as most of the other German de putations have done, but the decision is likely to be in New York's favour. The big German banks have all been re- organised on American methods, where one machine can perform the tabulating and calculating otherwise done by five employees. The great German works are all putting in the wonderful timesaving: conveyer beloved of Mr. Ford, which brings the tool to the workman, and the work to the next hand, piece by piece, so that there is no excuse for anybody to get up and go and look, or even wait. for anything...
The mintillating street signs are com- ing but slowly on account of the expense, but the traffic of Berlin is complete with the latest devices in signals invented in New York, and which probably act there. efficaciously. Changes in trame
and motor-buses have not proved particular- ly successful. Just as the size of the normal national figure proved a stum? bling block when devising senta, so does the time-honoured custom which regards it as not nice for ladies to sit on top. prevent new covered-in" models from be- ing successful.
