WANGANUI PIPE BAND.

For some time the Wanganui Pipe Band has been considering the problem of obtaining funds in order to purchase new uniforms and drums, and it has been decided to run concerts, etc., from time to time, to obtain the amount desired, £300. The first to^)k place at Okoia a few Aveeks ago,/which proved quite a success. Tlie second takes place at Kaitoke on Thursday next, and the third at the Opera House on June 3rd, for which the pick of local talent hris promised to assist, including St. Paul's choir. It is anticipated that owing to the popularity of the Pipe Band, this concert will be a great sue cess. The band has been very fortunate in receiving some handsome donations recently, and it is hoped before many months are over that the required amount will be forthcoming, as it is felt that the patriotic sentiment in the district will feel the responsibility of keeping this Nature's music to the fore with financial assistance. PEACE CELEBRATIONS. The Pipe Band accompanies the Railway Workshops' representatives on the first day of peace eeiebrations, and goes to Waverley on Tuesday, the second day of the celebrations, by request of the Waverley Peace Celebrations Committee, to assist in their district. The secretary of the band is Mr. Lachlan McMillan (Box 224, Wanganui). to whom all correspondence should be addressed.
