Capping Music.

We have to thank Mr. Maughan Barnett as being largely responsible for the success of our Capping Day festivities. For some weeks our authors had been seeking a suitable air for a fun-through chorus—naturally a very important matter. In the composition of an extravaganza such as the Bended Bow, we look to the chorus to sum up and generalise the particular impressions left by each tableau. The music must be suitable, and the air must be one that will bear constant repetition. While the composers were still at a loss. Mr. Barnett most kindly offered to write the music. Barnett also supplied the music for the Peace Society song, perhaps the greatest success of the whole evening.
