CAS- antiquities go nowadays" says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's, "the
brass band is q very ancient institution.
That is to say, it's inventor died in 1894
at the age Of eighty. There were horns
before AdOlphe Sax to be sure, but not
such horns as we have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key.
They could not even play a scale in any
key. The very first band entirely Of
brass was organized in 1885, and /
doubt If any of the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t
is only back to 1888 when a full regi-
mental band of the British army con-
sisted of two ObOeS, two clarinets, two
horns and two bassOOns. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tennyson's
famous combination of flute, violin and
Dassoon.'
How long a way we have come
since 37S3 may be learned from the
ensemble of a first class modern band.
The modern band of fOrty-two pieces
has half as many ObOeS and bassOOns
as the ancient band of eight pieces, sew
en- times as many clarinetS and nine
times as many horns, to say nothing of
the saXaphones, which are part clarinet
and part horn"

assigned to the 9Th Cal. Reg, Co. B., and
have drawn clothes, sabers, pistols, RI
fes, belts, horses, saddles, and amuni

drill three hours a day now for two
weeks till we get all the drills learned
and then we will only have to drill one
and half hours day There are about
so men in our troop now; they have been
here two years now, except us five who
came the other day. This is the best
company in the islands, we have good
beds, table, dishes, chairs and all we
want to eat. T ley haven't had any
fighting here for Two years, so we have
only three guard. day, and they are to

alike.

much as [ did at home, because the
nights are cool. The rainy season be-
gins in July and lasts three months.
We don't have much work about our
horses as there is river right by the

them around and wash them so we don't
have much currying to do. was down
