Hongkong. July 21.

The Times states that the Bolshevik reply to the British nate regarding the Polish armistice practically rejects the British proposals. The Bolsh eviks decline to attend a conference in London on the ground that England is not impartial. The reply further declines to accept any conditions regarding General Wra gel and refugees in South Russia and demands

nconditional capitulation. The whole tone is described as sarcastic.

DOUBLE CENTURY FOR RELF.

LONDON, July 20.

LONDON, July 20. Essex and Middlesex drew. Somerset beat Derby by five wickets. Notts beat Hants by four wickets. Kent beat Yorks by 121 runs. Sussex beat Lancs by an innings and 42, Relf scoring 225.

EXCITING YACHT RACE.

"SHAMROCK ” WINS DESPITE DAMAGED SAIL.

SANDYHOOK, July.21.

The re-sailed second race, in which the "Shamrock" scored a second victory, started shortly after noon. The "Shamrock" crossed the fine 38 seconds ahead of the "resolute" who, however, shortly assumed the lead, but was repassed 45 minutes later. The challenger rounded the first mark of the triangular course 600 yards ahead and led for nearly a mile, when half the course was covered. She maintained the advantage at the second mark... While racing homeward a big hole appeared in the "Sham. rock's" balloon jib, as a result of which she lost several seconds, but she reached the goal first, winning according to the official time by 2 min. 26 secs. after conceding the requisite time allowance to the "Resolute." Captain Burton's sküful handling, together with the "Shamrock's" saiing qualities evoked much admiration from the experts.

QUESTION OF SKIPPER.

NEW YORK, July 19. Most of the newspapers to-day declared that Sir Thomas Lipton intend. ed to change the skipper of the "Shamrock." The manner in which the challenger handed the first two races is generally unfavourably commented apon. Sir Thomas Lipton is reported to have been perturbed by reading newspaper statements that he intended to supersede Captain Barton, but it is said that he asserted that Captain Burton would be at the wheel to morrow. "After that I cannot say," he added, "and naturally I won't dis. cuss the subject. It is admitted that the exchange has been considered. It is a general belief on aboard the" Shamrock," that Captain Burton has been given another chance as a result of his plea..

MINERS' DEMANDI REFUSED.

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER STRIKE?

LONDON, July 20.

The Board of Trade has decided against the miners' demands for an increase in wages of 2s. per day and a reduction in the price of household coal. It is expected that the miners will take a ballot on the question of a strike.
