RADIO NOTES

“ We had seventy on the lawn. Some came over twenty miles, and_ got back in time for milking. It is quite a boon to farmers.”—An extract from a farmer’s letter appreciating tho broadcast of a race meeting. Great interest is being aroused among listeners in the opening of _ tho new Wellington station. There is general speculation as to how far it will ho picked up, especially by crystal sets. Certain it. is that 2YA will shake up the ether over a great area. lb will bo good news to the sporting fraternity to bo informed that field events are to be made a big feature on tbs programmes of the Now Zealand stations. A striking departure can be expected in the near future. A correspondent writing to the Broadcasting Company instances what he saw of the musical genius of_ the people of Italy, and indicates an ideal for broadcasting in the direction of improving tho musical standard of the British people. He says that be saw an Italian boy doing his best with the intermezzo from ‘ Rusticana.’ “In this country it would probably bo some American rag,” he adds. Perhaps some day there will be a Ministry of Music, utilising radio for tho promotion of good music throughout tho land. A striking tribute to the value of wireless to people in out-of-the-way places is conveyed in a letter to 3YA from a railway construction camp in the Bay of Plenty. Tho broadcast of the Richmond Wesleyan Church service is referred to, and the writer says: “It is no exaggeration when I tell you that our party sat round the fireside in the hut with tho light out, and without speaking a word, just drinking in the sheer joy of tne items and almost imagining that they were taking place just outside. I feel it to bo a duty, as well as a pleasure, to express my appreciation. My loud speaker gives great pleasure not only to myself but to many other workers in the camp, whose means of enjoyment aro very limited.” Another talk on South Africa is promised by Mr E. J. Howard, M.P., who will be at the microphone at 3YA to-morrow evening at 9 o’clock. This time Mr Howard will take for his subject the ‘ Diamond Mines.’ Cornet solos to be rendered by MiFrank Hume at IYA to-night will include ‘ The Rosary ’ and ‘ Somewhere a Voice Is Calling.’ To-morrow evening, at 7.30, at 3YA an address on ‘ Farm Forestry ’ will be given by Mr C. E. Foweraker, lecturer on forestry at Canterbury College. This is ono of a series of addresses arranged by the Canterbury Progress League. Mr A. Ripley, a tenor whose voice has delighted listeners throughout New Zealand, will be hoard again from IYA on Friday evening. In the same programme will be some other items which will be looked forward to, _ notably a number of Hawaiian selections, songs by Miss Poulton and by tho Masked Duo.

The voice of Mr Barry Coney, a name that is a household word in the musical world in New Zealand, has been secured for a season at IYA, Listeners will hear him on Friday evening, when he will sing three songs. The popular baritone will bo on the air again on Tuesday, June 28, and on other occasions during tho ensuing months.

At IYA on Saturday, June 13, Mrs B. Jellard, a well-known Auckland singer, will render tho following items: —‘The Slave Song,’ ‘String of Pearls,’ and ‘Just Because the Violets.’ Mr J. A. Daniels will make his debut to listeners the same evening. He will recite ‘ Lasca ’ and give a humorous character monologue, ‘ A Porter’s Plaint—Wot a Life.’ Then will follow 'some entertaining anecdotes. Tho first Presbyterian Church service to be broadcast in Auckland for over six months will he that of St. David’s on Sunday next. Rotary delegates will be present, and the service will be specially arranged by the minister, the Rev. D. C. Herron. This will be the first service relayed from St. David’s. A relay of Aucidand Municipal Band will follow the service. -

Miss Maynard Hall, who spent two and adialf years in Hollywood studios, is to [live a series of talks at 3YA. The first will take place on Wednesday evening. Reminiscences of life in the moving picture metropolis should be very interesting.
