The annual brass baud contest at Howley Ruins, near Batley. proved a great success. Ten bands had entered, but only five setes of competitors put in an appearance. A very large number of persons procured tickets of admission to the grounds. The result as declared by the judge, Mr. Smith, of Hull, was as follows:
Meltham Mills Band, first prize, £20; Leeds Model, second £12; Dewsbury Old Band, third, £8, Dewsbury A1, fourth, £5; and West Vale Works Band, Greetland, fifth, £3. The next on the programme was a solo cornet contest, in which the competitors were Messrs. A. R. Monk, West Vale Works Band; James Pickard, Dewsbury Old Band; and John Sykes, Dewsbury A1 Band. The prize, one of Besson's first class cornets, value ten guineas, was awarded to Mr. Monk. Sports and pastimes took place on the hills during the afternoon, and at the close of the contest a gala was held, and a selection of dance music was played by the Batley brass band.
