THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sm,—The Royal Academy of Music is appealing for funds to erect a small theatre at the back of its present buildings, in -which opera and drama may be studied and perllmned. A suitable site has been bought and £16,000 raised towards the cost of building, but £19,000 are still wanted. The steady growth of public interest in opera makes it imperative for English singers to have adequate facilities for training, and this scheme is one of the necessary efforts that must be made to supply and sustain the demand for native art. The cause of British Music has the sympathy of all enlightened people, and this appeal of the Academy well deserves their support. Contributions should be sent to the Secretary, Royal Academy of Music, York Gate, Marylebone Road, N.W.—I am, Sir, &c.,
