Under date of April 20 our London correspondent writes: — So Australasia is not after all to see the famous violinist Kubelik yet awhile. The paragraphs announcing that Mr Tait had obtained a contract from Kubelik for an Australian tour, and that the violinist would go to the Antipodes this year, were, according to Mr Hugo Gorlitz. all wrong. And Mr Gorlitz ought to know, seeing that he has recently been rt-appointed Kubelik's manager and that his appointment as such includes the Australian colonies. Kubelik has signed no contract, says Mr Gorlitz. and "there will be no question of Mr Tait managing Kubelik’s tour if it should come off during the time that I remain his manager.” Callers at the Agent-Goneral’s this week—Nurse Griffith (Auckland).
