She hoped Miss Bloy would have a very successful career and extended to her the best wishes of the people of Auckland for her future I prosperity and renown in the world ot music. Miss Bloy expressed her sincere thanks for the presentation and said she would do all in her power to justify the confidence which had been placed in her by Auckland friends.
