First prize, £30, Mariner's, Keighley. The band also received a complete set of "Chappell's Brass Band Journal," handsomely bound, and the bandmaster, Mr. J. Sugden, a silver cup. Second prize,£20, Victoria. Third prize, £15, Darlington, 15th Durham. Fourth prize, £10, Heckmondwike Albion. Fifth prize £5, Stanhope. The prize of a beautiful electro-plated cornet-a-piston, by Antoine Courtois, presented by Chappell and Hammond to the best soprano or cornet player of the two days' contests, was awarded by the judges unanimously to Mr. J. Hogget, of the Darlington band. The next prize, however, of a sonorophone contre-bass in E flat, with rotary valves, highly finished (value £21), was sharply contested. This prize was presented to the best bass player of the two days' contests. The following players were called upon to compete for this much coveted prize: The bass of the Keighley band, who played a double B flat trombone of his own invention; the solo bass of the Victoria Amateurs; the ophicleide of the Heckmondwike Albion; the solo trombone of the Civil Service; and the solo bass of the Stanhope band. This portion of the competition greatly excited the risible faculties of the assembly. The unwieldy instruments, the gruff and deep tones they emitted, the elephantine gambols they were made to execute, and the earnestness of the players made the scene irresistibly comic. The judges awarded the prize to the bass player in the Keighley band, amid the plaudits of the audience.
