NOTES ON THE TEST

WELLINGTON, Feb. 23

The Danne-Viirke Band, which won the B Grade first test, had) a. capital ensemble, with nice harmony and colouring and a brilliant cornetist. Invercargill Civic, which came fourth, is the old Invercargill Hibernian reconstructed, and contains several members of the well-known Wills family. Their cornet- solo work was most noticeable. Taken all through, much of the playing was surprisingly good, and the judge (Mr Halliwell) said that- Danneviirke had gained its position by good all-round work. HAWERA SEVENTH.
