The band inaugurates its tour in Washington, and will visit all the principal cites of the United States, and then proceed to Aus tralia. It is the first time that an Eng lish military band has been on tour in this country. Speaking of the performance the Times says: Yesterday's concert certainly establish ed the merit of the British Guards both as ensemble players and as soloists. It also proved Lieutenant Godfrey to be oue of the greatest conductors- alive, lieutenant Godfrey has his men well in hand and gets from .them the most ad mirable effects. Oije can not say of the organization under fils direction that the brasses or the reeds or the stringed in struments come out especially, but only that the band deserves 'the highest praise. It renders its selections as they might be given on a single marvelous musical Invention capable of producing a hundred varieties of tone in one well blended and perfectly hnrmonions chord. Each of the performers appears to de vote all the spirit and feellug to his por tion of the whole that might be evinced were he the whole, and the result is notably good.
