The London Standard comments upon the
sending the Grenadier Guards band to the
Peace Jubilee, from politco-muscal point of
view, as follows:
1.-The government of this country, in order
to further the ends of gigantic sensation,
have dispatched the Band of III. NJ. Grenadier
Guards across the Atlantic. The purpose of
their engagement is to take part in what is
most slngularly termed the ''World's Peace
Jubilee and International Musical Festival
Our government has evidently fallen into
the trap of a cute impressario, and, misled by
the TACT that other nations had agreed to
SEND representative band, consented far too
reaully that one from the English army should
perform Tor the benefit of private specula-
tor rather than for the advancement of the
art. There can be but one opinion as to the
undignifed nature of the whole proceeding.
and it will be difficult in future to refuse sim

that it has been entered into with no idea of
making profit but to ''aid in removing some

tween the nations of the world through the

such statement slightly hyperbolical, and
suggestive of Banum and A. Wards ''world's

Musical.

The members of the wellknown and de-
servedly favorite Mendelssohn Quintette Club
have organized a "National College of Mus
ic' of which the prospectus lies before us.
The Club is composed of five members, ex-
perienced and earnest musicians, who have
for many years performed together the finest
works of the great composers. With these,
other artists viii be employed as instructors
in the various departments, and we have no
doubt that this College of Music will present
solid and thorough system of musical train
ing. Glass instruction has many advantages
the presence of others incites the pupil and
concerted playing ensures strict accuracy in
time, relative value Of notes, accentuation &c.
A peculiar advantage, offered to advanced
students, is that of playing or singing accom-
panied by the Quintette. Practice with
string orchestre is most beneficial, the ear
learns to appreciate the enharmonic purity of
intonation possible to instruments of that
class, and the admirable phrasing of the Men
delssohn Quintette cannot fail to have a
marked influence upon the performance of
the pupil. The prospectus, signed by Mr..
Thomas Ryan-whOse face is so familiar to
music-lovers, in the concerts of the Quintette
Clubs very practical and music-like one,
and we recommend to our readers who are
interested in musical instruction to send for
one tof these circulars. The scollege opens
on Sept 10Th, at fremont Temple, Boston,
to which place we suppose that letters to Mr..
Ryan upon this subject, should be addressed.
Mr.. Wulf Fries, for so long violincellist of
the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, has left that
position to become a teacher in the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music. His place in
the Club will be supplied by another compe-
tent artist.
