YOUNG WELLINGTON PIANIST
Concert for Junior Farrell A meeting of persons interested in furthering the musical studies of Master Richard (Junior) Farrell, the brilliant young Wellington pianist, was held on Wednesday in the mayor’s office. Musical, theatrical and business interests were represented. The mayor (Mr. T. C. A. Hislop) who presided for part of the proceedings, said that the meeting had been arranged in order to interest the people of Wellington in the efforts being made to help the boy by sending him away for further tuition. Junior Farrell had shown outstanding promise as a musician, Mr. Hislop said, and those who had been teaching him felt he justified further training. The meeting was purely a beginning in order to set up a strong committee. He himself was quite prepared to help, and he felt certain that the city council would assist by lowering the charges on the use of the Town Hall for a concert. If Junior could continue his studies ho felt sure he would be a credit to his parents and to Wellington. It was decided to form a general committee, and an executive committee consisting of Messrs. G. G. Stewart, Trevor Lane and L. M. Donovan was elected in order to arrange various functions to assist the funds.
