Ernest Leggett studied the violin at the Royal College of Music. For three years he was a member of the Queen's Hall Orchestra and then signed a contract for five years to play in Sir Thomas Beecham 's Orchestra at Covent Garden. From 1918 for several years Mr. Leggett acted as leader and sub-conductor at various theatres devoted to musical comedy. In 1929 he was appointed musical director at Streatham Hill Theatre.
About four years ago he hit upon the idea to form a gypsy bartd, the outcome of which was the London
Zigeuner Orchestra. It took him a year to arrange a special repertoire of music in the gypsy idiom, to form the band, rehearse, and finally get ready for public appearance.
Every member of this celebrated orchestra is a first-rate orchestral player, and every one is British. Yet under Ernest Leggett 's direction they have assimilated the gypsy style of playing so perfectly that no one can tell them from a gypsy band. They have been broadcasting regularly since March,
1932.

By his first wife Mathias Haydn , a master wheelwright, had twelve children. The second was Joseph, the great composer, the sixth was Johann Michael , who distinguished himself as a church composer, and the eleventh was Johann Evangelist , who became a singer in Prince Esterhazy's chapel.
Michael Haydn (1737-1806) entered St. Stephen's, Vienna, as a chorister in '745. five years after his brother, Joseph. There he learnt to play the violin and organ and was soon proficient enough to act as deputy organist at St. Stephen's. His life appears to have been spent in the service of the church. As a composer he was almost as prolific as his brother, whose genius, however, overshadowed him. He wrote about 360 compositions for the church, thirty symphonies, and many other choral and instrumental works. The most famous of his pupils was Weber.

Wesley's Chapel - the Chapel where both John and Charles preached and where John Wesley is buried—stands in a neighbourhood sacred not only to Dissenters but to all who love the English language. Opposite the Chapel is the Bunhill (originally Bonehill) Fields cemetery, 'the Campo Santo of the Dissenters', containing the tombs of Bunyan, several of the Cromwells, Isaac Watts , Defoe, Home Tooke, and William Blake. Nearby in Bunhill Row, in a house long since destroyed, Milton finished 'Paradise Lost'.
An appeal on behalf of Talbot House (Toc H) Residential Club for Sea Faring Boys, Southampton, by Leonard F. Browne, M.D.
The Talbot House Seafaring Boys' Club is a friendly place where boys in the Merchant Navy from the ages of fourteen to twenty can live during their stay in port for several days or even weeks. There is no other provision ' for these boys except the homes for adult sailors and lodging houses. The club is in charge of a Warden, who is a real friend to the boys in their various difficulties. In 1932 new and larger premises to accommodate forty-eight boys were opened near the docks. The money came from both sides of the Atlantic, part from the Pilgrim Trust and part as a Joan from Toc H and gifts from friends. The club has no endowment and needs an income of £700 a year to supplement the payments of the boys. An association of 'Friends of Talbot House' seeks more members who will undertake to subscribe annually, while a further sum of ã1,500 is needed to repay the loan to Toc H.
