Cable advice has been received from Australia that George Tancred, a boarder-pupil. of the Waitaki High School, Oamaru. has been successful in winning a cadetship at the Jervis Bay Naval Training College for the Royal Australian Navy. ...In the case of New Zealand candidates, Australian parentage is an indispensable condition. Master Tancred proceeded from Waitaki to Brisbane a short time ago, to sit for the preliminary examination, at which over 500 candidates, representing the whole of Australia, competed, Eighty Were selected for the final tests at Sydney, and tho searching medical examination reduced these to sixty. As only three naval cadetships were available, the literary and viva voce examinations made a final selection of three candidates, as follow:— Tancred (New Zealand), Gntacre (Queensland!, and Clark (New. South Wales). Master Tancred is a son of Mr. G. H. If. Tancred, of Wakapuaka, Nelson, whose family have been connected with the Imperial services for generations.
