To the Editor of the Nonru-Cuna Darcy News, Sta,—I beg you will allow me a little of your valuable space, in which to express riy regret, shared, I know, by many other members of the Literary and Debating Society, that our Committee should have deemed one week tu be sutiicient notice of their Annual Concert. This is, or rather been, always looked forward to as the great event of the session, and great disappointment is felt by many peuple, who have other engagements for next Saturday, that they will not be able to be present. Again, have heard that the entertainment is to be on the same lines as that of last ear, i.e., & fourth Philharmonic Concert Under the regime of former committees thig closing meeting has taken the form of a "smoking concert without amoke," an has been thoroughly enjoy whom we like to please the most It seems a pity to have departed from the old way which was so successful, and to have struck out this new line, which, alas las not even the merit of originality to recommend it. While heartily congrattlating the Committee on their successful management of the Society from a literary point of view, I would humbly suggest their eatering for the non-literary members, who like myself enjoy smoking concerts and such like "shows," or they will. soon Jose our subscriptions without which the recognised objects of the Society ¢ruld nut be attained.

Hoping that the Committee will take this letter in the friendly spirit in which it meant, Tam, et 26th May.
