I'rosent plans' are -to, give';it, a trial'performance' shortly in' a- West Erid'.theatro -in'Lon,don. ..It is, possible that Mrs. -Patriok Campbell will be cast for the leading part. , ' ; Latest 'news from England would'.make it seems very that: a highly-interest-'ing: contest .'would be'witnessed in, the. > 100 'yards v?heh the English championships rolled round. R. E.'Walker, "Nat' , ' Caxtmell, and !R. Kerr had excellent form, and which one was most likely to score in the big event copld not with any degree of certaintybe forecaetell.'. Walker's victory in "tho "100' yards, scratch race at Crewe (referred to briefly last week) was gained by a foot from' CaVtmell. in lOsec. If this. ; ; result is a reliable indication. of tho preisent relative merits of tWtwo champions, Walker has'deteriorated since his wonderful run in tho. 100- metres championship at tho last Olympic, GaAes, or else Cartmell has improved considerably. The latter is probably the'case. On Juno 26 Walker won the 100 yards event from', scrateh.'in 10 l-ssec. at the Broughton Harriers' meeting at. Maaehoster.. Tho "London Magazine" • is ' responsible for an. amusing story concerning Madame .Melba:—"One day,, when passing a very showy 'drug-store, which had its entire front space covered with glaring advertisements of 'Melba , ,: perfume, sho, went, in .to: test, its .quality. This she found of such a character that she (felt called upon, to remonstraie with tho proprietor:.' How dare you : attach my namo to such vile, stuff 1 And how dare you use my name at'all without consulting mo?' The druggist'took her expostulations quito coolly, and answered; .'lt's no use .you making a fuss. I have as much fight to it as you have, for your real name is; 'Afrs. Armstrong!' Kndv;ing tho right of his contention, -sho retired graoefully,' but immediatoly patented tho name 'Melha' in; America, so that she might,control its use in all such matters." ..... , '■ . ,;.... "For -my, part I don't see any. more harm in a game of cards.than in a Rame of chess." "But consider the associations?"
