From those three stars Nova Aquilao will appear abovo and to tho left.' The brillianco of Nova Aquilao was startling when it ■ first appeared, but it. has sinco faded to such an extent that a non-expert observer would scarcely recognise it as a stranger in tho night nky. "Orpheus," Dannevirke— In regard to your inquiry ro tho awarding of a prize to tho winner of the best musical setting of lona Hopo's "National Anthem," Mr. Henry Hayward stales that the matter of judging the various MSS. sent in was placed in tho hfcnds of Messrs. Maughan Barnett, Harold Gregson, Walter Grey, 'and Miss Nicoll, of Auckland, who awarded the prize (.£25) to Mr. Alfred .Hill, of Sydney. This took place about five months ago, and was announced • .in the Press of the Dominion. As to the MSS. of unsuccessful competitors, Mr. Hayward knows nothing!
