CANADIAN SECURES POST OF CONDUCTOR. By-Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, June 26. Members of the Royal Wellington Choral Union to-night unanimously elected Mr Stanley Oliver, of Montreal, Canada, conductor and musical director. Mr Oliver, who is at present on a visit to New Zealand, was one of 27 applicants. There were 10 from England, two from Canada, one from Newfoundland, six from Australia and eight from New Zealand. The chairman, Mr H. E. Nosten, said that Mr Oliver came from Canada with an exceedingly fine record and had wide experience both there and in England. Mr Oliver stated that he had been influenced to stay in Wellington by several things, not the least of them being the very high standard of vocal music achieved here. Members of the union had vocal equipment second to none he had heard anywhere in the world.
