From pecuniary point OF view, therefore, the Jubilee

To-day was styled the English day" and the prince
pal event was the appearance Of the band OF the
British Grenadier Guards under their celebrated
leader Mr.. Dan Godfrey. When they marched
upon the stage--eO great fellows under bear-skin
caps with uniform of scarlet and gold and blue, fairly

some miscellaneous selections, Godfreys own haDel
waltzes" and the familiar strains were received with
great deal of enthusiasm. 1t is fine band playing with
tone Of its reeds and splendid solo cornet "God sayo
the Queer" was the next thing on the programme lt
was arranged with the Gilmore accompaniment OF can
non and bells The Grenadiers remained at the front
and opened the performance, but the piece soon
came TO signal grief. The organist made the nrst
mistake by playing fortissimo when the chorus
was singing its softest, and when he ought not

The only other sensational piece to-day was the

always used TO be- There was sensation, however OF
a far more genuine kind, in the debut OF the great
