A brass band contest took place at Bristol, in which the band of the Wednesbury Rifle Corps took the first prize, in a field of six. The prize gained consisted of £12 and a silver-mounted baton for the conductor, Mr. S. Cresswell. The playing of the Wednesbury band was pronounced to be first-rate, the first cornet playing being particularly fine. The band, on its return to Wednesbury on Tuesday, was met at the Railway Station by a great number of people, who accompanied them to their meeting house, Mr. Britten's, in Meeting Street, and when they separated for their several homes they were loudly cheered.
Prizes: £12, £8, £5, £3
