RESULTS.

It is hoped to publish the, results of the Daily Press Cricket Competition to-morrow (Wednesday) or Thursday.

A large number of entries were received and the marking of the lists takes a considerable time. Moreover, the last minute change in the team necessitated by the withdrawal, on doctor's orders, of Mr. H. B. Hancock, necessitates revision of the work already done.

Mme.

Mme. Guilbert replied that she was suffering at the time from a severe sore throat and that there was no malice or ill-will on her part in not singing, but merely reciting, parts of her role. She counter-claimed for £500 from M. Franck on the ground that he broke the terms of his agreement with her.

The court reserved judgment pending the appearance of Mme. Guilbert in the witness-box
