ENGLISH CRITICISMS.

London, May 21.-Enough has now been seen of the Australians on English wickets to form a con- sidered judgment. Bradman and Walker hitherto have been the only definite auccesses. Woodfull's cap taizey appears to be worrying him, although his eventual ability to carry the extra burden is un- doubted.

New York, June -While wet grounds forced all National League games to be postponed to-day, four contests were staged in the Ameri- can circuit, with the result that the lead of the world champion Ath- letics was increased.

The Sinanpao says that, while other merchants are complaining of the high cost of living caused by the unfavourable exchange rates, the warehouse owners have reaped huge profits because the continuous rise in the value of gold and the uncertain political situation have paralyzed business to such an extent that "mountains of imported goods are now stored in local ware- houses.

Since the beginning of this year, says the Japan Chronicle, there has been a heavy import into Japan of ladies' old silk stockings. Yokohama alone, sixty thousand paire are said to have been import- ed, the business being at first the monopoly of an enterprising firm, though now many are engaged in it. These old stockings are pulled to pieces, respan, woven, and then, in the form of ladies garmentà, ex- ported to America. Girls may be amazed when they are told that some of the dresses they wear are products of the old silk stockings they threw into the waste basket the other day.

An unusual sight was witnessed recently on the sea shore at Negom bo, Ceylon, when a number of 7 ft. fishermen brought ashore a long crocodile on an cut-rigger

Hornibrook bas still much to learn of English conditions and it eems that the one fault findable with the team as a team is the captainey. But it must be admitted that Woodfuil manages his attack with equal economy and enterprise..

Great Britain's defence of ama- teurism in sport triumphed at the recent meeting of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, in Berlin, when the Swedish and Finnish motions seeking to establish the principle of "broken time" payment were rejected by 18 votes to 4. The minority consisted of Sarden, Finland, Holland, and Switzerland. Twenty-three countries were represented by 30 delegates, but each country had only one vote. That the Swedish and Finnish motions were rejected by such an unexpectedly large majority was undoubtedly due to the clear indica tion by Mr. Barnard, on behalf of the Amateur Athletic Association, that no compromise was possible Mr.Darnard declared that the A.A.A. were firmly of opinion that amateur sport must be carried on as
