CIRCUS MUSIC.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —In reference to the letter of your correspondent “X.” on Tuesday in regard to the piece of music that we have been in the habit of performing for the death of the mare Black Bess in ‘ Turpin’s ride to York,’ we may mention that we have played it for quite thirteen years, and never before heard it objected to. We are sorry to find now that its performance has given offence in some quarters, and being strangers among you we are quite willing to accept your correspondent’s advice in the spirit in which it is offered. Our desire always is to please and not to offend our patrons; therefore,^ in future performances of “Dick Turpin’s ride,” the musical accompaniment to the death scene shall be a piece that can offend no one.—We are, etc,.
Wirth Brothers, Dunedin, January 16.
