MUSIC.
[To THE F.PITOU." Sib, —When our " aristocrats"—or whatever one likes to call them —want innsic for their Hunt Club ball they get it from Napier. Our " would-be dittos," in imitation I suppose, also send to-ii&pier for their dance music. Quite too, because if the music is not godd enough for our sheepfarmers it is not good enough for the lesser fry who imitate them. But if the latter are interested in the promotion of a minstrel troupe, an opera, or anything of that kin-.1. with musie free, gratis and for nothing, they condescend to patrGuise local talent. Small wonder it would be if the local musicians were to turn round and refer them to Napter for an orchestra. The local players cannot be charged with declining to assist at auy performance whatever; but this may not hold good for future peformances. —I am, &c., Cash Amatevr.
