STAR AND GARTER' MUSICAL FUND.
[To IRE EDITOR OF THE " SPE/TUTOR." I Sna—Once again I venture to draw the attention of your readers to the above Fund for providing musical instruction and instruments to the patients in the ` Star and Garter' Hospital. These patients are collected from all parts of the country, consisting entirely of soldiers who have been shot in the spine and are paralysed below the waist. Of all the suffering that has been entailed during this war, there is no class that has endured so much or deserves more sympathy. There are two music classes, one for violins and 'cellos and the other for banjos. T-he patients have made great progress, and a concert is being given by them at the `Star and Garber' on January 3rd.
For the moment we have sufficient instruments, but money is required for the payment of instructors. The accounts have been duly audited by Messrs. Fairbairn, Wingfield, and Wykes, Chartered Accountants. It may be noted that the expenditure on account of administration, clerical work, freight, postages, and stationery has not been debited to the account, and the whole of the money received has been expended directly for the purpose for which it was given. Cheques, &c., should be made out to the Star and Garter' Musical Fund and crossed " Union Bank of Scotland" and sent to me at the address below.—I am, Sir, &c., Devonshire Club, St. James's. F. DE B. YOUNG, Colonel.
