COMING "EMPIRE” ATTRACTION.
"Mind the Paint Girl," which will be seen shortly at the Empire Theatre, is a fascinating romance of a little slum girl who rises to fame on the stage overnight by à success- fully sung song. Anita Stewart, who delighted Hongkong some few months ago in "Is Old Kentucky," is shown in two characters. First the appears as the little slum girl who sweeps out her father's shop and runs errands and does any handy work to make both ends meet for her parents who are very poor. As the shop girl she is shown in more less ragged calico dresses,

At Manchester there were 20,000 spectators. The weather was fine, the wicket slow. Tennyson won the tow. Gregory and McDonald opened the bowling. Brown, who was caught by Gregory with a ball from Armstrong, made 31. Russell was bowled by Gregory at 101 after a fine all-round wicket, including nine fours. Twice he was badly missed in the slips by Armstrong. Woolley was caught by Andrews from a ball sent down by Hendry at 47 reached with confident play. Tyldesley made 78 with brisk and gigorous cricket. Fender made. ́44 prising play. The extras numbered 20, making 362 for four wickets. When 341 runs for four was reached, Tennyson declared the innings closed but an objection by Armstrong on the question of time (see taw 55) was upheld The Australians resumed fielding to the accompaniment of loud booing from the crowd who were obviously ignorant of the laws. Tennyson appealed to the crowd which quietened and the game was resumed after 23 minutes delay. COUNTY MATCHES.
