"Cairo is a gay city, at least so they say. The chief hotels
put up boards showing the amusements to be enjoyed. A sample
of an eventful week follows:--
'COMING EVENTS.
MONDAY.
TUESDAY.
WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY.
FRIDAY. Museum will not open.
SATURDAY.
SUNDAY.
----, _Manager_, ---- _Hotel_.'"

"A very interesting cricket-match took place at Ghain Tuffieha
on Wednesday last, 24th inst., when eleven Nursing Sisters
played eleven officers. The game throughout was very keen and
the Sisters have nothing to learn from the Officers in the way
of wicket-keeping, batting and yielding."
