Mr.. FDTToR:-


communication appeared in the Herald Of yes
terday in relation to the New York Sacred Music
Society which, if permitted to 60 unnoticed, might
perhaps prejudice the society in the rinds Of per
sons ignorant of the source from whence the silly
paragraph emanated. The writer charges, that the
society advertise the tickets for their oratories at
one dollar each, and that the day before the
performance is 10 come off the members go
drumming them off among their friends at 80 cenu
etch !" He is no friend OF the society, or he would
have sought information that would have saved
him from ridicule and from the trouble Of writing
the paragraph


The plan by which the society is now managed
subjects each member thereof to a pro rata assess
ment sufficient cover the expenses OF the public
performances, and all incidental expenses when
ever it shall be deemed by the members them
selves necessary to levy such tax. and for every
dollar so assessed each member receives two ad
mission tickets. These they are at liberty to
either give away or dispose Of for any price they
can get The object Of this arrangement is two
fold it enables the society to get up their perfor
mances in a much better manner than heretofore
aud protects them from loss under any circum.
stances.


Your correspondent is at liberty, therefore, to
purchase ticket at one dollar, or drum up'
members ticket at half price as may best suit his
interest.
