POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
“Musician” agrees that the wood-wind instruments In the 3YA orchestra are too prominent and the strings too in the background. “There is plenty of tale in the city," says the correspondent, and it seems a pity that It should not be heard to advantage.” "Pounamu” writes that the meaning of Te Anau Is the uneven surface. Tei. pronounced like the ‘e’ in pen says the correspondent. “On no account > should it be pronounced like the double e in sh-ep. I Anau is pronounced something like Unqw. j It is difficult to put the exact pronunciation on paper, but the above sounds are as close as can be got with the pen. “Doubtful" writes; “The Chinese art exhibition is over and once again the people of Christchurch have shown their appreciation of art. I wonder if they would have rolled along in such numbers if it had been an exhibition of New Zealand art —sculptures, terra-cottas, cloisonne, and craft-work? Period and country seem to be more important than merit to some people.”
