THE LATE CONCERT.
{To the EMtor of the Otago Daily Times.) Sir, —1 was much surprised on looking over the programme of the Concert given yesterday morning, at tue Princess Theatre, to find no acknowledgment of the Trio " Sweet is the Breath of Morning," of which lam the composer. I think it would be nothing more than an act of courtesy, on the part of the conductors of a musical entertainment, to acknowledge any part of it that flows from the pen of an Australian musician. luo not intend to discuss its merit, which has already been acknowledged by the press ; but, as there have been other pieces of my composition played without acknowledgment, I take this opportunity of expressing a hope that for the future, any legitimate credit or honor attaching to a composition, which is considered worthy to be brought before the public, may be given to the author, wheth r absent or present. Trusting to your sense of justice to give this a space iv your columns. I remain, Sir, Yours respectfully, _ Edward Salaman. Dunedin, 11th November, 18o"2,
