It was incorrectly reported yesterday that Miss Vera Huggett, of " The Prince Chap" Company, had broken her arm. The little actress was really suffering only from a petty dislocation of her arm, 'which in no way affected hor playing. At the Empire \celebration at Gal*-ten-bury College to-day. the el airman of the Board of Governors. Mr G. W. Russell, took the opportunity oi presenting three medals awarded to Christchurch students as the result oi 'last year's music examination.* of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music. A gold medal was given to Mis* Florence Hercus for the advanced grade in music, and" a silver medal foi the intermediate grade pianoforte, the marks gained totalling 137 out of a possible 150. A silver medal in the i same grade was also given to Miss Mary j Gould, who had passed with the .same i number of marks. Both pupils, /Mr I Russell said, were under the tuition oi j Mrs Young. Thero had been a gocd 1 deal of discussion, he said, in regard to ! the proposal to establish a school oi i music. He thought that the presentaI tions he had made showed that there j was not only good material for .a school j of music, but that there were teachers ' already in the dominion that were able ! to instruct their pupils iri a manner ! worthy of such a schopl.
