A MUSICIANS HILL.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
Wellington, Thursday. The Musicians Bill, which has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Sidey, aims at Hie formation of a Musicians Society for New Zealand, and for the registration of musicians. The various societies of musicians in the colony are' at present registered under the Unclassified Societies Act, but the powers provided for by that Act are considered to be too limited. The Bill provides for the setting up of a Musicians' Council for the colony. All members of the existing societies shall ipso facto become members of the new society. The standard of qualification for membership consists of the composition, of teaching, performing, or writing upon music for a term of years.
The Bill also provides for the admission of members by the passing of theoretical and practical examinations, to be conducted by the council in the principal centres of the colony.
