Russia's National Anthem.

Russias present national anthem Is probably the only one that was ever adopted as the result of an open com petition. The musical committee ap. pointed to do the first rough work Of selection. rejected all the anthems sent in except two, the respective mer- its of which were left for the emperor himself to determine. One was by Glinka, the renowned composer of Life for the Car" the other was by Lvoff. Glinka's anthem was thorough ly Russian in character, and in the form of a march; Lvoff's was more solemn, but much less original. He knew. however, that a highly military style of instrumentalization would ap- peal to the imperial ear, and his drums and trumpets decided Nicholas in favor of it.
