He came fully expecting to hear four or five good performances, but he had had quite a happy time when he found not only nine but very creditable performances. He complimented the bands on the excellence of their work all round.
He had great difficulty in separating the first and second bands. The general public fully expected that Mastertpn would be placed first.
