Great interest is being aroused among listeners in the opening of the new AVellington station. There is general speculation as to how far it. will be picked up, especially by crystal sets. Certain it is that 2YA will shake up the other over a great area. It will be good news to the sporting fraternity to he informed that field events arc to be made a big feature on flic programmes of the New Zealand stations. A striking departure can be expected in the near future. A correspondent writing to the Broadcasting Company instances what lie saw of the musical genius of the people of Italy and indicates- an ideal for broadcasting in the direction of improving the musical standard of the British people. He says that he saw an Italian boy doing his best with the Intermezzo from “Rusticana.” “In this country it would probably he some American rag,” he adds. Perhaps some day there will be a Ministry of Music, utilising radio for the promotion of good music throughout the land.” A striking tribute to the value of wireless to people in out of the places is conveyed in a letter to 3A r A from a railway construction camp in the Bay of Plentv. The broadcast of the Rich-

mond AVcslcyan Church service is referred to ami the writer says: “It is no exaggeration when I tell you that our party sat round the fireside in the hut with the light out and without speaking a word, just drinking in the sheer joy of the items and almost imagining that they were taking place outside. I feel it to be a duty as well as a pleasure to express my appreciation. My loud speaker gives great flea sure not only to myself but, to many other workers in the camp whoso means of enjoyment arc very limited.” Another talk on South Africa is promised by Mr E. J. Howard, M.P., who will be at the microphone at 3YA on Thursday evening at 9 o’clock. *'* This time Mr Howard will take for his subject the Diamond Mines.

Cornet solos to bo rendered by Mr Frank Hume at IYA to-day, will include “The Rosary” and “Somewhere a A’oiec is Calling.” To-morrow evening at 7.30 p.m., at 3YA, an address on Farm Forestry will be given by Mr C. E. Fowcraker, lecturer on frestry at Canterbury College. This is one 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 heard again from IYA on Friday evening. In the same programme will be some other items which vrill be looked forward to, notably a number of Hawaiian selections, songs by Miss Poulton and by the Marked Duo. The voice of Air Barry Coney, a 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, i The popular baritone will be on the air again on Tuesday, Juno 28th, and on other occasions during the ensuing months. At IYA on Saturday, Airs B. Jellard, a well-known Auckland singer, will render the following items: “The Slave Song,” “String of Pearls,” and “Just Because the A’iolcts.” Thon will follow some entertaining anecdotes. Afiss Maynard Hall, who spent two and a half years in Hollywood studios, is to give 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.
