WOODFULL AND PONSFORD AGAIN FAIL.

O'Reilly's Brilliant Bowling,

Sydney, To-day.

The England innings closed this morning for 524; the Na- wab of Pataudi joining the Be.. lect band of batsmen lo score a century on their first Test appearance with a faborious 102.

The Australian second innings opened disastrously, Ponsford and Woodfull being dismissed for 10) runs. Australia require 186. to save the innings defeat.

The feature of to-day's play was the bowling of O'Reilly, who dismissed Allen, Ames and Larwood without a run being acored off him. He bowled 02 maidens in his 67 overs for 117 runs and 3 wickets..

A crowd of 5,000 were present when play was resumed to-day on a good wicket and in fine weather.

Are Lotteries Harmful? Sir Chartres Biron, Chief Metro- politan Magistrate, giving evi- dence before the Royal Com- mission of lotteries and sweep- stakes, said that lotteries on the scale of the Dublin lottery mirst have demoralising effect.

Batavia, To-day.

The disarmament plan is believed to be closely related to war debts, and London opinion seems to be that Mr. Norman Davis, American delegate to Geneva, will put Congress in a favourablé mood to consider suspension of these payments, if the European arms bill is cut as the American plan requires.

Meanwhile, Italy has announced that she will meet the instal ment of her war debt due to America this month "unless other cir- cumstances intervene." It is taken that this string is attached to Italy's announced polley in the event of Congress granting Britain and France suspensions..
