WHAT ABOUT HAWKES ! The Wellington Garrison Banc! won the Championship and also the Challenge Shield at the Palmerston North Band Contest in 1911. They used Hawkes’ Excelsior Sonorous Band Instruments —a complete set. In the tirst test piece this noted Wellington Band was allotted the maximum number- of points, the judge declaring tnat ue had never heard better playing, and commending in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also using a complete set of Hawkes’ Excelsior Sonorous Instruments, won the B Grade. The judge congratulated this band on their playing. These two successes in Grade A and tirade B, on such a great occasion, are worthy wins for Hawkes, whose instruments are preeminent all over the world. Bandsmen! Buy a set of Hawkes —there are honours and valuable prizes to be won with them. Write for catalogues. Sole Agents—The Dresden Piano Co., Ltd* Wellington. North Island Manager; M. J. Brookes.
