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 numUer of points was allotted, the judge declaring that he had never heard oetttr playing. He commended in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also using a complete sot of Hawke’s Excelsior Instruments, won the B Grade. These two successes on such a great! occasion, are worthy wins for Hawtce s, whoso instruments are pre-eminent all over the world. Bandsmen, buy a set of Hawke’s —there are honours and valu able prizes to be won with them! Write for catalogues. Sole agents— The Dresden Piano Company, Xitd.. Wellington; Local representative—G. W. MILLS, Stationer, Broadway (late Cargill’s). *
