Armstrong batted finely in Leicester's first innings when he made 114 and was still undefeated when the innings came to an end with the score at 249: Warwick went well ahead of this total and dis-declared at 370 for nine wickets after Wyatt had been defeated with 117 runs to his credit Any hopes that Warwick hnd of skittling out Leicester in the second innings, however, were doomed to disappointment. Ship: man and Armstrong got well set and the match ended with Leices- ter's score at 200 for only two wickets. Armstrong had been sent back after scoring 74 but Shipman was not out with 105.
Some of the young women of the B.B.C. National Chorus are annoyed over a dress question.
"The Dress Committee says we must wear dresses with sleeves," said one of them recently.
This movement to the coast is due not to pressure from coin- munists, but to orders from Can- ton. There is much speculation as to what these imply, and how far this district is to be denuded of soldiers. It is a matter of days since the 62nd Division got to its stations up-country. It is argued that only some serious situation at Canton can be responsible for such a sudden and serious reversal of plans. The possibility of a re- turn of the Ironsides to the south, supposing the unexpected loyalty of Ho Kien in Hunan to be a fact, is canvassed. But no-one knows what the real situation is.

SEVILLE UNREST.
MORE REVOLUTIONARY THAN

Madrid, June 24. The fact that the Workers' Union was not informed of the impend- ing strike at Seville has engendered a feeling that the trouble is more revolutionary than economic,
The authorities apparently have the situation in hand. Troops are standing by in case of necessity, whilst all shops are closed and busi- mess is at a standstill.

ADVICE TO GIRL CHANNEL

Misa Agnes Nicks, the London girl secretary, who hopes to break the women's Channel swimming re- cord In August; is in a quandary.
She has been forbidden by the Port of London Authority to swim in the Thames, except before 8 am. or after 8 p.m., and she has no- where to practice except such places as Ken Wood Pond, which are nee less because there is no tide,
"I am in a terrible fix and havé not been able to do any swimming. for five weeks now," Miss Nicke said:
"It may spoil my chances of swim- ming the Channel. Next Sunday 1 wanted to swim from Gravesend but now. I mustn't. Going to Brighton every week-end is an ex- pensive business."
