Bosworth, who is still in her teens, has achieved much distinction as a violinist, and visiting examiners hare concurred .in'the opinion that she should be Siren the opportunity of studyiug nuder some of the great masters of Europe. She has excellent technique and a wonderful musical memory, which have been ably developed thus far by Mr Colin.Muston.

Lord and X-ady Islington daring their residence became specially interested in Miss Bosworth and on their departure from .Auckland expressed to. the-Mayor the hope' that the citizens would make'lt possible for her to proceed to Europe.
