the great English sovereign. He tells
how Queen Victoria is passionately
fond of music and was herself an
excellent pianist. She and the Princess
Beatrice would generally choose the
programme of music which they de-
sired to be played at the stale dinners
The Queen has always made it point
that at least one of her ladies at waiting
should be skilled pianist and whether
she is at Windsor Castle or travelling
abroad a piano is always with her.
Lieut.. Godfrey also relates how after
dinner Her Majesty would always call
him to her side and discuss the music
and composition of his band, pointing
out anything which pleased her es-
pecially and discussing musical topics
with him. Among the distinctions he
has received from the Queen are the
Jubilee Medal of 1887 and the Diamond
Jubilee Order of 1897.
Lieut. Godfrey also enjoys the per.
sonal friendship of the Prince of Wales
and always wears on his fingers
diamond and turqoise ring, a present
to him by the Prince. The famous
English Bandmaster is one of the
twenty-five founders of the most not
able Masonic lodge In the world, the
Household Brigade of Guards lodge, of
which the Prince is the w. G. M. This
noted composer and conductor with his
famous British Guards Band who in
clude in their ranks the finest soloists
and some of the most valient soldiers
OF the army is sure to receive the most
hearty welcome on his visit to this city.
