TO BANDSMEN. The championship, and also the Challenge Shield at the Palmerston North Band Contest of 1911 were won by the Wellington Garrison Band. They used Hawke’s Excelsior Sonorous Band Instruments—a complete set. In the first test piece the maximum number of points was allotted, the judge declaring that he had never heard better playing. He commended in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also using a complete set of Hawke’s Excelsior Instruments, won the B Grade. These two successes on such a great occasion are worthy wins for Hawke’s, whose instruments are pre-eminent all over the world. Bandsmen, buy a set of Hawke’s — 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.

New Zealanders have a sense of safety and satisfaction in viewing their Dreadnought in New Zealand waters this week. This gift has stirred the hearts of Britishers wherever the Union Jack floats in the breeze. It has set the pace to our Colonial brethren across the seas. We are proud of our battleship, but we are also proud of our position in the fighting line of Commerce. A strong evidence of this is the New Zealand Dreadnought blankets now shown at C. M. Ross and Co’s.—made as well as they can be made in any of the British Colonies—from iSs 6d at the Bon Marche to-day.—Advt, Wind, rain and sun all in one day. Those are the sort of days coming along. The best all-round garment is a Stiles’ Raincoat—sheds water like a duck. G. H. Stiles, Draper, Foxton.*
