BRASS BANDS’ ASSOCIATION
SUSPENSION OF WELLINGTON GARRISON. BAND. [Per PRESS Association.] PALMERSTON N., May 6. The North Island Brass Bands’ Association last night had before jit applications from ten members of the Wellington Garrison Baud for transfers, a letter from the Wellington Garrison Band tendering its resignation instead of the apology , demanded, and a letter from Lieutenant Herd, disassociating himself from the action of the hand, as he had disapproved of it and was meirelv a band conductor. It was unanimously decided to refuse the transfers of the resignations, and to suspend the band and its members till it apologised .also to exonerate Lieutenant Herd. It was decided to hold the next contest in Wanganui in 1910, and that the executive should in future select the judge, instead of leaving it to the ballot of the.hands, as heretofore, the practice which led to the friction, with Wellington.
