TO THR SUITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.
Lc toe, 3d May 1934.
SLR—In the Morning Post of this day, it is stated, that at the grand fete given by the Dutchess of St. ALBANS on Thursday evening last, the performers in the concert consisted entirely of "the elite of the Opera-house ;" whose "divine harmonies," &c. Now, this is really "too bad :" the fact being, that English musical talent alone was employed; not even one of the performers of "the Opera-house " being present, or engaged on the occasion. Is it to be wondered that talented English musicians are not, unfortunately, more employed than they are, when even the praiseworthy and truly noble ex- ample of her Grace is not made known through the medium of the public press, and foreigners are made, as it were, to usurp their rightful place, by such un- English misrepresentations as the above?
Your insertion of this letter, will greatly oblige, Sir, your constant reader,
ONE WHO WA 5: PRESENT.
