It is by r* means the first time a similar feeling has been expressed in regard to the decisions at the Exhibhition contests. But it is not necessary to stress this point. The good fact remains that the Timimns Band are generally admitted to have played remarkably well and to have deliglted the crowds and the eritics alike. The Timmins Band made a fine name for themselves and the Town ‘has every reason to ‘be proud 1lown has every reason t and pleased with the Band In the Class B. section of the BHand Contest at the Toronto Exhibition last Thursday, the Timmins Citizens Band made a decided hit with the crowds and also with the impartial musical crities. The newspapers gave much praise to the Timmins Band for the excellentâ€"music furnished, and alâ€" though the Band was not placed high by the judges in the contest, the opiâ€" nion of unprejudiced musicians interâ€" ested would appear to indicate that this was more the fault of the judges or the system of judging than due to any lack of merit in the Timmins Band. Writing from the city last week one of the members of the Band said: * You may get a shock at our position, but not as big a shock as we got. There were two Italian music profesâ€" sors and the dleader of~ Creatore‘s played a wrong note. ‘The band playâ€" ed the piece better and more smoothly than any of the other bands taking part, avmulmw to the openly expressâ€" ed upmmn of the musical experts. I don‘t know how the judges arrived at their decision, but it was a much difâ€" ferent decision to the one that would have ‘ben given by the general public or the unprejudiced musical experts present. ‘Some of the experts were so amazed at the placing of Timmins d nere B., the f the judg __ x on may get a snhock but not as big a sho There were two Italian sors and the leader Band who picked Bran mins for first place.
