THE MUSICAL SOCIETY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HAWKB'S BAT TIMES. Sir, —I have not yet seen any advertisement of the programme of the Musical Society's concert, which, I hear, is to take place on Tuesday next, and think it a fitting opportunity to solve ihe question so often put to us—" Why don't you advertise your programmes?" My reply to such a question is, that in the most of cases if the public well knew what music was to be performed for iheir entertainment, they would take care to be out of hearing of it. If the Musical Society considers it is so proficient in the performance, and so infallible in the selection, of its concert music as certainly to require only a small announcement in one or each of our local journals to ensure a large attendance, it is greatly mistaken, as the empty benches at our la*t concert too feelingly proved. From this dearly bought experience the Society must know that not to advertise is very false economy on its pari, and is also unfair to the public, upon whose patronage it depends for its existence,—l am ; &c, Musical Tinker. Port Ahuriri, Dec. 21.
