I. Mackenzie Bogan, MVD, Maus. Doc., Coldstream Guards, who is one of the most famous of army bandmas- fers, 4 distinguished all-round musi. clan, and a very popular figure wher- svel he gots, has recently appeared in MAP. "Yes, by virtue of forty-three year 's service, 1 am the senior Bandmaster of the British Army," said the fam- ous comductor in the course of » pleasant chat 'Mr. Millar, of the Royal Marine Artillery, it is true, can top my Fucord;; but he really counts as belonging the royal navy.

T Say upjustly puni because these foreign bandmasters were civilians pure snd simple, they were not subject to: mulitary law, therefore, had not military status or authority, and the soldier who 'cheak- ed' them committed no military of- eneea "Nevertheless, many a man went to 'cells' in those days for disrespect to 'Mosso." Fortunately for me, my- first bandmaster{'was one of the few Eng- lish 'ones then in the service, and a -rate musician and man." en Dr. Rogan has seen a tremen- fous improvement ii the standard of i asic, partly owing to the dis- foreign frauds al- faded to, partly owing to the general improvement in musical taste in the army, and, indeed, throughout the natioh. High-class music was rarely played by army bands in his young days; and he remembers, when stationed at' the Curragh, thé bandmaster of another regiment ventured to put in a selee- tion from Wagner one guest-night at mess He was barely half-way through it when his colonel bounced out in a towering passion, threatening to put him tnder arrest if he did not in- stantly stop or if he ever dared again to Xa y such utterly condemned stuff.

It was through ! acting as assistant to Billington that | Ellis becgme chief executioner, and | it is an extraordinary fact that when the post becomes vacant the Home Office is inundated with application: | for the appointment. Indeed, when Marwood, who sue ceeded Caleraft in 1883, retired, no | fewer than '12.000 persons sought the | post, Berry being appointed. | 'Caleraft, whip retired in 1874, was | paid one guinea a week by the Cor- | poration of London as a retaining fee, and. an extra one guinea for eacn execution. He had besides, from the county of Surrey, five guineas annual retaining fee, one guinea for each exe- \ cution, and ten guineas for an execu- tion in the cduntry. Nowadays about $50 is paid to the hangman for, every execution he car- ries out. . Berry, who succeeded Mar wood, was engaged in over 200 execu- { tions in nine years, and carried 134 | sénténces into effect. According to his own statement, he earned over $500 {in the first four months of 1890. A! one time, it might be mentioned, the hangman received as perquisites th conviet's clothes, which he usually sold for a good price to showmen These, however, are now burnt. It" was quite by accident that Mar The | | story goes 'that he met Caleraft one 'morning as the latter was going te an execution, and, seeing that the old ! man was 11, undertook to do that par- ticular job Jor him. The offer was accepted, and so Marwood first ob- tained an introduction to his fhture 'calling. When Calcraft retired Mar { wood - was retained by the London cherifis at a fee of $100 a year, ani on the strength of this engagement he contracted with provincial sheriffs ! to carry out any executions for which they might be responsible. Caleraft | hfs been described as a maild-manner?, 4 man, devoted to fishing, while Mar wood" was not without répute as- a local preacher. The most notable hangman of the earlier holders of the office were Der rick, who gave his name to the spe {cial kind of erane. known as a derrick, "anid': Jack Ketch, who executed { amongst others William Lord Russell dnd the Duke of Monmouth, and who uénsthed his name as a nickname ji8 stdcessors for nearly a couple of centyries. Then there was Dennis, { wha. wns almost hanged himself for | faking part in the "No Popery" riots, | and Thomas Cheshire, known as "Old i Cheese." Perhaps the most extraordinary exe- cunonrer of all, however, was the cele brated "Lady Betty" --what her real ; name was no one seems to know- | who at the beginning of last century | efficiated as hangwoman for a number of years in Ireland. | wood besame Calcraft's successor | Actor," Dramatist, and Politician, Too. | One ¢f'the most versatile of men.
