A great house witnessed Miss Ada Crossley’s first performance in Sydney. She sang brilliantly, evoking the enthusiasm, of the audience. Her rendering of ‘Home, sweet home’ was given with such pathos that the cable message says it moved many to tears. In the announcement of results of the theory examinations of the Associated Board R.A.M. and R.C.M., held in June last, the following candidate’s name was omitted accidentally: —School harmony, lower division, pass, Mary Delargy, 78 marks. Amongst the passengers by the Warrimoo from Sydney, which arrived at Wellington to-day, were Sir James Hector (who abandoned his trip to the Rocky Mountains owing to the death of his son), Mr C. H. Reynolds, general manager of the Pacific Cable (who visits Wellington to interview Sir Joseph Ward); and Mr G. G. Stead, of Christchurch. Mr Wallace, of the New Zealand football team, also returned, having recovered from his injury.
