which is lined throughout with crimson silk,

The Rhodesia Horse, of South Africa,
has a splendid band. The wind instruments
are of brass, silver-plated, and the drums are
made of aluminum, a precaution rendered
necessary by the number of white ants that
infest the country. The total cost of the
band was a trifle over $1,500. This, how-
ever, would not be considered remarkable in
this country. The equipment of many of
our military bands costs double that amount.
The Emperor of Morocco has a very pecu-
liar band. His private musicians are eighty
in number and they all play clarionets, which
were made by a London firm. Curiously
enough, they are all in one key. The empe-
ror takes great delight in listening to the
eighty clarionets being blown simultaneously;
but he cannot convince his court that "music
hath charms."
THE LYON & HEALY BAND HERALD.
The summer edition of the Lyon & Healy
Band Herald has just made its appearance.
It is a readable number, fu'l of information
regarding Lyon & Healy band instruments
which are making rapid headway in popu-
larity.
The success of the Lyon & Healy
Own Make cornet in particular has been most
marked and the sales for May were nearly
double any preceding month. Dealers or
others interested in band instruments will find
the Lyon & Healy Herald of considerable
value.
