In the first test piece this noted Wellington Band was allotted the maximum number of points, the judge -declaring that he had never heard better playing, and commending in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also using a complete set of Hawkes' Excelsior Sonorous Instruments, won the ,B Grade. The judge congratulated this band on their playing. These two successes iri Grade A and Grade B, on such a great occasion, are worthy wins for Hawkes, whose instruments are pre-eminent all over the world: Bandsmen!
