THE WEATHER

Mr F. L. Wooles. Wind moderate north-east to northerly; weather • fine, and becoming milder. Dominios Meteorologist. An intense anti-cyclone now covers the South Island. A cyclone is passing the Dominion far to the northward, and a slight depression advancing across the South Tasman Sea. Expect moderate to strong winds, southeasterlies prevailing in the northern half of the North Island, moderate to strong westerlies in the far south; elsewhere variable, light to moderate. Seas rather rough to rough north of Castlepoint, south-easterly swell; elsewhere smooth to moderate. Weather mainly fine, showers still likely between Hawke's Bay and East Cape and in parts of the extreme north, and later about Foveaux Strait. Cold night, many frosts, but milder tomorrow. An Auckland Press message states that, after making a thorough search of two bedrooms in a house at Mount Eden, an intruder received a rude surprise when he encountered the occupier of the house at the door of a third bedroom. The man was held by the occupier (Mr W. L. Boyd) and later taken into custody. The National Anthem was played in its new musical setting, as recently requested by the King, during the progress of the King’s Birthday parade at the Auckland Domain and also during the ceremony of consecrating the colours of the Auckland Regiment at the cenotaph on Sunday. -The standard tempo approved by his Majesty was uniformly adopted by the seven bands, five of them military bands, that played during the march past in the Domain. The improved version found very general favour. The playing of the National Anthem, according to the approved style, is heralded by a roll of drums for three bars. The first eight bars of the anthem are then played pianissimo by reed instruments. What is known as the scale passage is then introduced by the trumpets, cornets and trombones in a crescendo of volume until the band is playing double-forte. Then follow four bars played pianissimo, after which the band as a whole comes In with the final chords, played double-forte and at slower pace, namely, 60 beats to the minute.
