First Military Band.

England's

The famous Dan Godfrey, Lieutenant of the Guards and baudmaster for furty years of the Britich Grenadiers, is coming to Canada with his men, forty stroay, to pay us a three weeks’ vieit in May, and to give a series of military band concerts in our principal towo# during that time. Amongst military authorities and barrack rooms the world over Dan Godfrey’s name and muaic isa bousebo!d word. He ie said to be the fivest leader tha: ever wield edabaton. He has supplied music and presided over it at moet of the state func- tions «during the reigo of V¥ictoria, and has probably perturmed before more monarche, rulers and roys! princes thao any other living being. For bie distin- guished services as “band master of the crack Hritish regiment, ‘Tbe Greaadier Guarda,” he was elevated to the rank of a Lieutenant of the Guatds, a special mark

of royal favor never before nor since con- ferred upon a bandmaster. Wolseley, Lord Roberts; the Duke of Cambridge and the many heroes of many battles have marched to the tunes of Godfrey’smen. It wae Godfrey and his band who attend the Peace Jubilee Celebration at Boston, aud it was the aame Godfrey who Jed the bands of the Wnited States, and that of bis ows baud together with 5000 voices at the

opeving day when 75,000 people listened to the singing and playing of our national avthem, “ God

save the Queen.” Not sivce that time bas a British band visited these shores, It is therefore a maiter of warm congratulation thet the megotiations so long in operation should have led at least to a promised visit of the most popular military orgeuization Great Britam poasesse., togesber with Great Britan’s frat and forewost leader.
