THE HAMILTON ENTERTAINMENT PIANO.
Sin,— Can yon or any of your readers inform me m whose custody is the Hamilton Entertainment Piano, and to whom does it belong? The 'Entertainment Committee have ceased giving entertainments, and a public Harmonic Society has been established m Hamilton. A few gentlemen lield the piano as a sort of trustees, but the piano was paid for — that is, as far as the debt has been extinguished —by the general public, the proceeds of the piano concerts haying been appropriated to the payment of the debt upon it. The instrument is • to all intents and purposes a public one, and I do not know who has more claim to its use than such a body as the Harmonic or Choral Society, some time now established m Hamilton, not as their personal property, but to hold m trust as I the. Entertainment Committee at present holds it. Should there be any debt still on the instrument tho Choral Society would doubtless undertake to clear that off by concerts,' m the same manner as was done by the Entertainment Committee. As one who was a regular frequentor of the entertainments, I ask, m common with others, "what has become of our piano " ? — I am, &c, " Tenor." » .
