particularly Windsor, to "look at a King"
this summer, will be doubly glad of the fol-
lowing information:
The King has commanded the two bands
in Windsor to play every Sunday afternoon
during the summer in the gardens before the
East Terrace of the castle whether the Court
is in residence or not. During the late
Oueen's reign the bands only performed when
her Majesty was at the palace. The public
will be admitted to the gardens and terrace as
usual. The bands in Windsor this summer
will be the Scots Guards and the Second Life
Guards.
The King's Band, which Sir Walter Par-
ratt will conduct at the Coronation service,
consists of thirty-four musicians, all of whom
are of the front rank. Many 01 the members
are musical professors, while others are at-
tached to the Richter and Philharmonic bands.
Except four, his Majesty's bandsmen are all
Englishmen. There is only one lady in the
corps, and she plays the harp. The conductor
gets $T,5OO a year, while the bandsmen's sal-
aries range from $250 to $500—by no means
excessive fees wnen it is remembered that.the
band may be summoned to play at Windsor
perhaps thirty times a year.
