Mr Borneo Gardner, the well-known professional .whistler, who was born in Gisborne is dead. He wns attacked by pneumonia and died in London last week. He was educated at Wellington College, and when quite young he developed a talent for music which he expressed as a whistler. Any boy can whistle, but young Gardner had great ambition to become a fine exponent of the art. He preferred operatic selections, particularly those of a florid character abounding in c adenzas and similar embellishments. So successful was he, and so in earnest in the development of his gift along classical lines, that he adopted whistling as a profession. He began at amateur entertainments, and frequently appeared at the Wellington Savage and Orphans’ Clubs and charitable entertainments. Then he secured engagements in vaude. vilel companies in Australia and subsequently in London, South Africa, South 'America and the Continent.
