Show In reaaiag accounts of tneyacirnw I noticed that the Eugliali-tjands"'c6n3d not play an American national air because be-cause "God Save the Queenr' and "America" were the same. I have never found the reason why "The Star Spangled Span-gled Banner" should not be our national na-tional air. I have heard them all played play-ed by the best bands in the country, and there is none which sends a thrill of gratitude at being au American through me so as that grand finale: And the star spangled t aimer in triumph does wave O'er the land of the free and the homo of the brave.
