On behalf of the club will you. allow me to say that this idea is erroneous, fi Mr Scott pays us a su«i;, whicV ,ii estimated to cover, expenses and retains the balance of the taking.) him elf, cobßequently the whole profit or. loss of the affair .falls upon the lesee. Judging f.oin the coi ss-ponden-e .md i,6m outside expressions- vi. merobexs of the Choral Society,! gathet-th*fc they (the latter) were quite ccjaisanc o£-38b-fecott s intent.on to take a Ibenefit on'sKcw night prior to iheir havin-; adverti.^ed- their pei formance,, therefore their "talk" and " hubbub " about the club trying to jump upon local institutions is utter " bo-.h." Not being one of the: <. musical portion of Gore " society," I am of course unable to judge of the meiltT or demerits o£ the two performances, or whether either; of -them are " amusing " or » ir^tructive " to t^e. iookew on. I should, howerer; judge "accofditig'to my lights that an item "Dr Quack.^ron the programme of the Choral . Society cannot failtoproye the latter.— Yours, be, ' ■ >: " REGIIf AiD BbEE,;
