GARDEN PARTY TO-DAY. To-day the postponed garden parly will be held in the Recreation Sports Ground. There should be no need to urge people to attend. They have already had a taste of the quality of the bands competing, and are not likely to miss this chance of hearing them treat elections of their own choice. We fully expect a big gathering of the public to-day. The bandsmen will be eutefI tiiined by the ladies' committee. I This morning a huge entry of E-Ilat liarn soloists must be got through. TO-NIGHT. THE FINAL TEST. I he final test selection is to be played in tin; S]Hjrts Ground to-night. There aie eleven competing bands. The test piece is "William Tell,'' arranged by •). Unl Hume. This is a more stirring stVctiou than was presented on Wednesday evening, and a thorough music.tl treat is assured. A reminder is given that on this occasion a start is to 'e nude at IS.SO p.m.. the representatives nl the bands drawing for places at li.l.'i p.iii. A special train for llawcra at 11.W p.m.
