DUKE AT BAND CONTEST.
HAKA BY WOOLSTON PLAYERS. Received November 2, 12.45 p.m. BALLARAT, Nov. 2. A blackwood casket containing three gold nuggets was presented to the Duke of Gloucester on his arrival at this historic city to-day from Mildura as a reminder of the important part gold played in the early history of victoria.. The Duke was particularly interested in Ballarat’s war memorial, which takes the form of an avenue of honour and contains 3900 trees, each dedicated to a soldier who served in the war. The bands attending the South Street Centenary band contests assisted at the civic welcome at the city oval. After the Duke had declared the contest open the Woolston Band (New Zealand) and the Melbourne Fire Brigades Band demonstrated the quickstep. None applauded more heartily than the Duke the halta by the Woolston Band after the march past. The band contest-is continuing until Saturday. The Woolston Band was given a warm reception by the other bandsmen. No full band results will be available till Saturday.
