Previous to the competition, the bands assembled in the square, marching and playing in combination, to the Show Grounds. An immense concourse of people attended. There was a chilly southeast breeze during the afternoon. Slight dissatisfaction is felt at the seeming insufficient attention to facing in which the Wanganui were nearest, being only one second and one pace short. Waihi was a very popular third. The remainder of the solo competitions were continued last evening. MoKfte and Gamble, Photo Eagiiwl? and Lithographers, Wellington. Bead for qaotttios.
