very wise decision has been arrived
at by King Edward with regard to the
national anthem. He has now expressed
his desire that a standard Of tempo should
be adopted so that wherever IL is played
1t will always be taken at exactly the same
time. This matter, trivial as ii may seem,
has long occupied the mind Of the Duke OF
Connaught by whom it was brought
before the King, and for the change that
he has thus brought about the public
no less than his own family owe him much
thanks.
Hitherto it has been at the discretion
Of every bandmaster or conductor OF an
orchestra TO take the national anthem
fast or slow, and generally speaking
II has been dragged rather than hastened
with somewhat dirgeiike effect. Hence
