OUR MUSIC CRITIC.
Sir,-This is the first request I have ever made to you, and I make it with diffidence. I make it at all because I am sure I speak for very many of your readers — especially that considerable number who, like myself, live by teaching. In any case it is a very modest re-quest-merely this: that whoever is driven from your columns by contractions in space "Marsyas" shall remain. He is precious-by which I mean, of course, but dare not say, priceless. In a fairly long professional career I have never seen so much egotism, uppishness, conscious superiority, and unconscious solemnity packed week by week into three or four hundred words. In spite of his gallant start I felt certain that he would run short of self-admiration after an issue or two; but he is magnificent. He has kept it up for six months. For God’s sake. sir. don’t stop him now.
