As a pupil of the Sisters of the Missions in this city Miss Barker attained the final in connection with the Royal College of Music examination, together with success in advanced harmony and Associate of Trinity College, London, at the age of fifteen. As a solo harpist with the Exhibition orchestra Miss Barker was conspicuously successful, and later toured the Colony with the orchestral, sharing with others flattering press notices and well deserved compliment's of eminent musicians. Whilst at Auckland she received, with the other members, the pretty souvenir of their connection with the Exhibition. At the Musical Union's concert last week Miss Barker was harpist, and her performance was highly spoken of by Mr. Bradshaw, Anglican Cathedral organist.
