THE ALEXANDRA CHURCH CONCERT

Srß. — Mlow rao <o correct *n important misj take and omission in your correspondent'! account of the Church Concert of Wednesday evening last. You, Mr Editor, lam quite aware are not to blame for any such inaccuraoy, na you cannot bo expected to know on Boeing a report whether 'he contents ara accurate, bur I can assure you tlio leport of tho conceit in (|uesNon lifi^ caused not a little annoyaooe and incitement lioi <?. Ihe n\j.u« of certain liulio3 aro mentioned as supplying tray* for the ("oir^e, namely, Me^dimos Allen, Aubm, Duffua, Hill, flmgi»son, Hugh s, McSh»ne and Moirnon. Of tin so, two mentioned never supplied tiaj-8 at all, ;vnd two of those ladies who did supply trays did not preside over them, but sent their servan's to do so. This was looked upou a* most msultinir. and (hose present te^tined their indignation bv fiequcntmg only the tables wb.L>re th* ladies themselves attended. Things have come to a pretty piss when such exclusivenes3 a* this is indulged in. Agun, why J ask was all notice of the humourous leading of Mr G-übbins withheld, a perloimanco which delightorl the audience? If bervants are to bo *ont to auperiutend tho distribution of tea and cakes at soirees, you will see few of our settlers wives taking part on the next occasion.— l am, &o. Out Pbe int. [As regards the alleged inaccuracies, our cor respondent will doubtk'S3 be able to explain. Of necessity we take all such reports on faith, »nd cannot be expected to be ourselvet respon sible for them.— Ed W.T.
