APPRECIATION OB GREAT SINGERS.
[BY TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT ] Wellington, Saturday. Mr. E. J. Hilt,, the well-known local singer, brother of Mr. Alfred Hill, writes to the New Zealand Times, taking excep tion to-the statement of Mr. George Musgrove as to the ignorance of the New Zealand public concerning Mr. Edward Lloyd. He claims that there would have been no risk of ldkn in bringing the great dinger to New *p>aland. The average New Zealander knows Mr. Edward Lloyd, and the great singers of the old world, better than the average Australian or even the average Londoner. That Mr. Lloyd would have drawn record houses there is no doubt. New Zealand audiences have ever shown their appreciation by extending their patronage to all the singers that had a right to be called great. Mr. Musgrove should not have judged the whole of New Zealand by one benighted denizen.
