TO THU T.UTTOR. Sir, -■“ Wanganui Supporter .savs was mil concerned about the Grand ll is quite e\ idenl he must have read the “ local ”in a I 11 ! 1 ’,' - H he will look it. up again ho 'vill find il read as follows “ The programme will include some of the Contest. music in which it (the St. Kildn. Bund) proved itself very efficient, coining out 7 points ahead nt Yiaiiganui in the Orand Aggregate. Take the quickstep only and we are 3 points ahead of "Wanganui ton music. This is not contra ri to fact; hut a fact. ] notice in your “locals” a paraora ph quoted from "Rule fit. in an old Rule Bonk. That rule to-day is Rule No. 22, and reads as follows The band .securing the most musical points in the two test selections and quickstep A Grade competition shall he declared the champion band of the Dominion of New Zealand, and shall Jink! the shield allotted for one year." “ Wanganui Supporter” knows that Wanganui did not win that shield, being 4 points behind. St. Kilrla Band laid claim to the Exhibition Champion Shield for A Grade Bands, and was officially presented with it and the Hawkes Shield to keep it company. So far as I have heard the bandsmen n sf Dunedin’ are quite satisfied with St. < Kilda’s position.—l am, etc., ; • W. W. Eexnvcuick. 1 AWkDU
