Bradman dismissed Hobbs by a brilliant throw in. Hammond knocked up 35 and completed his thousand runs in Test matches.

Earlier on the crowd, apparently disastisfied with the rate of scoring, booed at Hobbs and Sutcliffe, shouting "What are you afraid off."

BRITISH DECISIÓN.
Londen, July 16. In the House of Commons this afternoon, Mr. Arthur Henderson, Foreign Secretary, replying to a question, said there were serious physical and other difficulties in the way of removing the British Legation as a whole from Peking to Nanking. Steps had, however, been taken to lease such pre- mises as were available at Nan- king, and to establish a branch of the Legation there.
The question whether any further arrangements could be made to improve the contact between the British repre- sentative and the Nanking Government was now under consideration.--British Wire-
