Lancashire Lads who Made Such a Big Hit Ten Years Ago to Celebrate O 1d Home Week. The bandsmen have been kept in eccnstant training since they made their first appearance here on July lsi, 18327.

The resplendent uniforms have naturâ€" ally become a bit torn and tattered but the lads will be out in full regalia on Dominion Day, July l1st, 1937. Wishing to enier into tihne spirit of Old Home Week, W. Wilkinson seâ€" cured the support of the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade, the Lancashire Social Club and the Timmins Cricket Club, to sponsor the appearance of this bunch of bandsmen (or what you like). They made a great hit here in 1927,; the work of the conductor being a feature, and there is not the slightest doubt that next Thursday the "Lancs‘ Kazoo Band" will be one of the funniest hits of the big parade.
