In the Jubilee Premiere of all the colonies were admitted as members ol the Privy Council, and the South African war bad ihown what was the mettle and worth of our colonial forces. MILITARY AND PRIVATE BANDS. TO THE EDITOlToP THE HE BALD.

Sir, 41 Trombone in his letter in thii morning's Herald states that the private hands to be engaged for the Commonwealth celebrations are tc receive a higher rate of remuneration than the military band, and that consequently the regimental bauds will be depleted, and that by the men who be. long both to private and military bands playing where they may earn the most, i.e., with the private bands, the work falling to the military bands will be much harder on those who attend. To prevent this be suggests that either the military bauds should le-ceive a higher rato of remuneration, or that the Brivate bauds Bhould not be paid at all. The request for an increase in pay may be reasonable, but is tho alternative a suggestion in any way fair Further, tho statement is a serious reflection on tho patriotism aud Bunse of duty of the bandsmen concerned, and if there is any hardship il falls upon those men, for the private bands understand that they are to be free for military duty when required. Two private bands are also purely volunteer bauds, and it is understood bold themselves ready for military duty on certain diva, but apart from the jaen in these bauds very few bandsmen belong to both the military and the IS private bunds which will probably bo engaged.

Tlieieju ti great difTerotica between a partially-paid uiilitsry and a private bsnd. Military bandsmen are snpplied with instrument, fitted with two full sets of uniform, their bandmaster is paid for them, they themselves receive payment every time they tarn out, anil in some cases are jmid for practices, besides receiving railway posses. Music is also supplied, and they are uuder no oxnensa for a practice room. A orivule baud has none of these advantacos. Each band has to Und its own instruments (say 200), provide its mou with uniform (3 per man at lowest), pay a bandmaster, supply its own music, and pay rent for a practice rooir Most of the private bauds are town or district bands, and take an active interest in local matters, olavino- sratis on all piior to that some 70 cases were reported.
