WHAT ABOUT HAWKES'I The Wellington Garrison Band won the Championship and also the Challenge Shield at the Palmerston North Band Contest of 1911. They used Hawkes' Excelsior Sonorous Band Instruments—a complete set. In the first test piece this noted Wellington Band was allotted the maximum number of points, the judge declaring that he had never heard Buph playing, and commending in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also us ing a complete set of Hawkes' Excelsior Sonorous Instruments, won the B Grade. The judge congratulated this band on their playing. These two successes in 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!
