MUSIC EXAMINATIONS

GREYMOUTH SUCCESSES Mr. Eric Grant, representing the Royal Schools of Music, London, examined 25 candidates yesterday at the Convent of Mercy, Greymouth Owing to pressure of work—Mr. Grant had to do Greymouth and Hokitika in one day—the examiner has not given Mr. Bush, the local secretary, the marks for each candidate. But the examiner notified the success of all the candidates, and the kind of pass each pupil gained—pass, merit, or distinction. As the marks may not arrive for a week or so, the candidates are not placed in order of merit, but in alphabetical order. Except where otherwise stated, the candidates passed in pianoforte playing.
