JUPP'S BAND BAZAAR.

Jupp's Band has played so well and so long and persistently that their instruments are the worse for wear, and a bazaar is being organised to help the fund for replacing them, and for supplying the members with new uniforms. It will be held in the Skating Rink, In-gestre-street, on 28th October and the intervening days until 4th November. The opening ceremony will be performed by Sir Joseph Ward. The band is now in its twentieth year of existence, and it has been always self-supporting, but the big double expense now necessary makes an appeal to the public unavoidable. It should be explained that there is no risk of the moneys being used for ultimate private benefits, for the band is registered under a deed drawn up by the present Chief Justice, under which everything is vested in three trustees, with a stipulation that in the event of the band being broken up the instruments shall be sold and all proceeds given to the hospital. In connection with the bazaar there will be an art union conducted, the first prize in which is a mineral specimen valued at £20. A series of musical programmes, dances, sleight-of-hand tricks, and ventriloquia'l entertainments has been prepared, and 6everal novelties in the way of mechanical and, electrical appliances are promised.. ]
