LIEDERTAFEL CONCERTS.
(To the Editor.) £ir, —In reply to your correspondent "Subscriber" re reservation of scats at Liedertafel concerts, on behalf of the committee. I •wish to state that .the experiment of.- reserving seats has been tried with very discouraging results. It is generally admitted that the booking of large audiences in the Choral Hall cannot be carried out without great inconvenience to patrons, owing to the construction of the building. With regard to the "questionable practice of marking certain scats for evident favoured patrons as -taken," this does not apply to Liedertafel concerts, as the only seats so marked are six press seats and four seats which the management consider, out of common courtesy, should be reserved for the patron and president of the society. The committee hope with the early advent of the Town Hall they will be able more comfortably to accommodate their patrons, and also allow them to again open their subscribers'list to the many anxious wouldbe subscribers.—l am, etc., BYD..J. HARBUTT, Sec. Auckland Liedertafel.
