THE TOWN BAND.

It is satisfactory to learn that tie affairs of the Pukekohe Town Bar.d have been reorganised. The membership has been strengthened ard the Rand has had some really gotd practices upon an attractive programme of the newest and brightest music available, 'lhj band purposes playing out presently, and there is no doubt that the music will be appreciated. A fairly prosperous season appears to be ahead The bard hj; s been engaged to play at Mercer regatta on Wednesd.y next, and negotiations are penditg for two or three other engagements. We suggest to the people of Pukekohe—and especially to whe have established money interests in the plice—that every time our band goes away it means an additional advertisement for Pukekohe. We want to see that advertisement as good and as bright as it is possible to make it. Jf the band were supported by townspeople as generously as it should oe, there is no reason why this musical organisation should not be a constant and a shining credit to the district. Under the reorganisation the new secretary is Mr H. Thornton, and there are several old office-bearers, such as the chairman, Mr C. Monty Wright, who have stuck to the band through ihe days of its adversities and who continue their good work with! enthusiasm.
