Tho late Ord Hume, of England, in awarding the "possible" to Mr. JBuckley, said: "I have had the honour of adjudicating England's best soloists during recent years, but this is the first occasion on which I have awarded tho .maximum points possible to a cornet soloist." ■ Although Captain Buckley has adjudicated .at minor district contests in the past, this is the first occasion when he will be judging at the big annual Dominion championship band carnival.
