SUNDAY MUSIC.
TO THE EDITOft, Sir.—When a person adopts t,bo nom deplume "Honesty," ha should say what he means and mean what ho says. " Honesty " in his first let'< r ! said fairly and squarely tint "if tie Band could not play sacred music th y V,„, 1 1 » , ; I
bad better stay at home," Now he explains that be meant by that, thai " the Band should not advertise a sacred concert and then piay seiul.r music." My reply to that is tha'. the Band did cot advertise a sicred c 'nctfrt—a locil in a newspaper is not an advertisement. As lo "Honesty's" that at these opeu-air co ■ certs the Band should cotjSn') th mselves to Oratoiios and Masses, ha mu t remember that although he and I m<v like that class of music well enough, plenty of other people (myself included) also like other kinds of music and the Bsnd naturally Ike to porfoim something to suit the majority of the public. In conclusion, [ tiope " Honesty " subscribes to the Band fund aim e he presumes to dictate the class > f tnusic to be performed by them.—l am, i-tc. A. 0. Fookes.
