EVERYBODY INVITED! Correspondence. To the Editor of the St. Croww Avis. Sir, In your editorial in Avis No 17 of 992’ inst. 1 read that after the removal of the Navy Band to Haiti in a month~or sO, the island will have no aciive musi- cal organization at tlis end. May [ask if it was by an oversight or lack of memory you thus ignored the faithful Native Brass Band and the Industrial Band; or have you been no- tified that these two now subsidized Bands will by tha. time have become inactive? It i: interesting to know, for public opinion diFers with your asser- tion, it being just . >w rumored thai the Native Brass Band expects scon ro be equipped with a full set of nev insiru- ments. : e With the knowiadge of this expecia- tion and of the capability and zeal of the Band and its energetic leadzr the general public whom it has always serv- ed in the absence of the Navy Band ‘as well as upon other occasions, had no fear oi altogether losing its musical enter- tainment through the removal oi the Navy Band. ” With thanks in santicipation for your explanation, 1 am, sincerely youis L INQUIRER The above correspondence seems un- fortunately to reveal an incorrect view of the editorial remark that! this end of the island will be without any active musical organisation it the Navy PRand be removed. We should not omi 0o ex- plain that naturally no aspersion or at- tempt to belittle the etforts of the Na- tive Brass Band or the Industriai Band was contemplated. However, it being months siunce these orgahisations have appeared in cublicit does not seem out of order to refer to them as nos being active. We are glad to learn of the progress gur correspondent refers to, and trust that we shall soon have the pleasure oi recording publiec performances with the new instruments. TELEGRAMo. ST.
