TO BANDSMEN. The championship and also the Challenge Shield at the Palmerston North Hand 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 oetttr 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 Hawse's, whoso instruments are pre-eminent all ovc'i the world.
