ORCHESTRAL ARRANGEMENT IN "THE
MESSIAH,
To me Ldftor OFT

TO the Ldftor OF me tribune
Sir: Permit me to correct certain errors IN your
criticism of last nights performance of Tho Messiah
by the Oratorlo Society Of NewYork The orchestral
arrangement Ito which exception is taken) used by
Mr.. Damrosch this occasion Is virtually the same
introduced by his father, the late DR.. Damro'ch
The Accomplishments which Mozart added TO the orgi-
nal score to take the place OF the organ whcn
Handel always used, but which could not be procured
for Baron swlcten's Vienna performance. The cider
Damrosch, therefore, restored the original Handean
Instrumentation far as possible, because the Mozart
additions instead OF introducing delicate effects OF
tone COLOR of which your critic speaks, In several
places obscured the original dccacy OF Handlers In
strumentatlon and only Of special service to us
In the chorses because the organ at the Metropolitan
Opera House is placed too far behind the scenes to
give the wealth Of which Handel intended to form
a background TO the chorlises. The only Innovation
which Mr. Walter Damrosch introduced last winter
the doubling of the wind parts in the choruses as
ID Is fact well known every student OF Iiandel
that the orchestra used In his time was quite Inherently
composed from that of the present day. and that was
customary TO double and even treble the hautpoys,
tumpets and bassoOns Mr.. Damrosch, therefore,
did nothing than to reproduce, AZ far as pos
sble, the orchestra used by Handel himself

PROPOSING A NEW SOUTHERN STATE
T o the LdftOr OF the Tribune.

Sir: Many plans have been recently devised for
breaking the Solid South by writers throughout the
United States. 1t occurs TO me that state couid
be made of Western North Carolina and East Tennes-
see. These two sections arc composed manly Oh
Intelligent progressive white citizens, vast ma
ioritv Of whom, are Republicans who fully abreast
Of the times and who most earnestly desire to see
the dawn of new In the South
Prior to the war they owned few slaves, and were
opposed to secession, and since the war they have
been stanch Republicans.
There are many reasons why this new State should
be created other than tho one given, which may
give in the future. | am convinced beyond al
doubt that the proposition will meet the hearty ap
probation of the citizens in the boundary OF me pro
posed State. HENRY HAKDWlChf"

A DANGEROUS NUISANCE TO TRAVELLERS.

To me Editor Of The Trtbune
Sir: Whose duty is 1t to protect life and limb on
the narrow stairway Of the elevated road on he east
side OF the City Hall station! Neither the Mctro-
potan policeman, the Brooklyn Bridge poncemah'
nor the elevated road employees give any attention
to keeping the stairway free from Instructions to
messengers. especially Of the street gamns who may
be found at the foot of the stairway, on the steps
and on the landing, rudely and dangerously plying
their practice of snatchng papers frOm the hands OF
the passengers. A few mornings ago lazy was
tpped up by one of these boys and would have fallen
hcadlong down the stairway had not gentleman
caught her in time; and this morning gentleman
was tripped up BY one of these nuisances. whose
duty is it to keep these passageways clear! :, -,
