It is proposed to raise a public memorial to Mr. Gervase Elwes, and a committee is being formed for that purpose. The precise form of the memorial must depend on the support obtained. But the general idea before the committee is that a man so eminent for generosity and self-effacement would be best commemorated by some scheme in the cause of music which has those characteristics. An appeal for support will be issued as soon as the General Committee is constituted and definite scheme decided upon.
