The average attendance at all parades was 28, which shows the spirit of enthusiasm which prevails amongst the members.. “During the month the band was unfortunate to lose the services of Mr. M.

They are Mr. Mitchell (solo cornet), late of Palmerston North, Mr. Newton (solo cornet), late of Wellington, and Mr. Drabble (tenor horn), late of Auckland.
