Oamaru

(Prom our own correspondent.) December 11 The following candidates have successfully passed the examinations in Rudiments of Music, held locally

under the auspices of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music (London) : Amy Gilligan (Dominican Convent), 96 marks; Margaret Twomey (Dominican Convent), 96; Margaret Ward (Dominican Convent), 96. The elections passed off quietly in Oamaru, and general regret was expressed at the defeat of our veteran member, Mr. Duncan, after 30 years of faithful service. -The result is almost wholly accounted for by the altering of the electoral boundaries, whereby all, or nearly all, of Mr. Duncan’s friends and supporters were excluded from his district.
