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 ho had never heard nebttr 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 13 Grade. These two successes on such a groat occasion, are worthy wins for Haw ire s, whoso 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 1 Write for catalogues. Sole agents— The Dresden Piano Company, Jucd.. Wellington. Local representative—G. W.
