Mr. Editor: One of the best displays of the march to the strain of the fife anc the drum was given us last Satur- day by a large number of bands. Execution and technique was per- fect and so it well might be order and deportment was grand. But all along the line of march the boys seemec to get no applause, probably because the compositions played were terribly ancient. The Scotch band lar, but there is no art. When Colonne was playing selections from Henry 8th by St. Saens in Paris one Sun- day about 30 years ago his gallery asked him, with pity in their tones “Please Colonne, oh please let us have some musi ; I was there and I know, and they knew better than I did. That opera—I suppose long since scrapped—was all choked up with rubbish like the Miller of the Dee, etc., etc. How many years more do we want to hear, “The Girl I Left Behind Me Very business like air I know but as the bishop said, We want variety. At the instigation of the queen, he had been lecturing louis XIV. upon his dissolute intimacies at the court. She was jealous and she was not sat- isfied. Louis invited the bishop to a dinner and he accepted with a vim. Course after course was served with chicken at this meal till the bishop’s appetite took a slump and Louis asked him if his dinner was no good. “Excellent,” he replied, “but my dear king, there’s too much chicken!” *“Just my case,’ said the king, “too much queen, my boy, too much queen.” Of course we recognize that a drum and fife band is not a complete orchestra or a flute band either, but there are selections for the flute in many of the grand operas which should replace the mediocrities we get now year in and year out, and over and over again. There is the solo for the flutes in Lucia de Lammermoor. The inter- lude to the second act in “Carmen” for the flutes. Part of the overture in “Robert the Devil” and a splendid little march in “Carmen” where Don Jose changes the guard. for fifes is such a thing as Les Petits Oiseaux, (The Little Birds), played habitually by the Republican Guard in the gardens of the Tuileries, a band which passed amost unnoticed through New Britain during the war. This piece is played on the fifes and calls for an absolute imitation of the song of the European skylark which rises singing from the fields, to a great height till he falls exhausted, like a stone to the ground, We ought to look to KEurope for quality in our band music, never to Britain. Their specialty lays in other lines. They are a splendid race of people, but art dén’t know their na- ture, and there never yet was born the Anglo-Saxon compositor who ever wrote an opera rth the paper it was written on.

Editor New Britain Herald: Kindly allow me space in The Her- ald, for a few remarks upon the rent situation as its exists in this city: (1) Why the necessity of the building inspector’s office? Is it for the purpose of making an easy posi- tion for some individual? It appears to my mind, that if said office func- tioned in its proper channels, there would be less rent profiteering. To my personal knowledge there are ten- ements that are nothing but fire traps. Not a dollar having been laid out on them in repairs, since being built. Unlined chimneys, cracked to the extent, that daylight shows through; and of a windy day, fire and the gas fumes are driven back into the living- rooms, and in a rainstorm, there will be from two to three inches of water in the cellar. For months there have been tin pans used to catch the leakage fro i the plumbing in the bathroom. Yet these houses are sold, sight unseen: and then the tenants’ rent is jumped $5 more per month. These are facts. What are the citi- zens paying these inspectors? Is it a political game? (2) One other Health department. To my personal garbage container in the rear of my rent, was not removed for three weeks. This was full of vermin, and in this humid weather, became very annoying. Not being willing to put up with this longer, the writer had an ex-official remove it. (There would be objections having his remarks ap- pear in print). In view of the above said facts, the writer assumes that there must be a lack of co-operation among the city officials, at least; the evidence at hand, leads one to assume such. It appears to my mind, if factional pol- itics is the cause for this laxity in co-operation, and the public at large have to suffer through said lack of co-operation; it appears to my mind that the time is opportune to remedy this evil. The writer rests this (tempus fugit) Very respectfully yours, H. E. GARDINER, SR. SENATORS GET TWO. Shreveport. La.
