Mr. -Bryan will commence the New Zealand "examinations here next Monday. Mr. Carey is a through passenger' for Sydney and will conduct the examinations in Australia.

Mr. Bryan, who received his musical education under Oscar Beringer, Percy Grainier and others, is a distinguished recitaiist, who has had a great deal of concert experience in England. He has also had considerable experience in broadcasting work, and expressed the opinion yesterday that wireless broadcasting in the long run was an extremely bad thing for solo artists. Conditions for concert work in England were far from good and a great many" of the smaller musical societies were closing down. Although the British JBroadcasting Company sponsored many fine concerts in London, it had done very little for music anywhere else in England. ' Mr. Carey, who is making his first trip 11,s an examiner for the Associated Board, is not unknown in Australia or Now Zenland. He was for three years at the Con servatorium in Adelaide, and in 1925 undertook a brief tour of New Zealand with the pianist Frank Hutchins.
