NEW ZEALAND BANDS.
HIGH PRAISE BY JUDGE. • * CHRISTCHURCH, February 27. “ The A Grade bands of New Zealand could hold their own in a contest with Australian combinations, and judging by the placing at last Sydney contest there is only one band which could compare with the first three Dominion ones,” remarked E. Jackson, of Brisbane, who was judge of the concerted work and of the cornet solos at the New Zealand championship contest which was concluded on Saturday. The Australian band to which Mr Jackson referred was a newly-formed combination "from Hamilton, a small mining town near Newcastle. The first three New Zealand bands which lie declared were better than any in Australia save the Hamilton Band are the Queen Alexandra’s Own (Wanganui), tho Kaikorai (Dunedin)* and the Greymouth Municipal.
