Many of our friends at home, who may
have been startled by Mr. Horton James's
veracious assertion, that a person might
lose himself in the bush in the city oi
Adelaide, and sleep all niglit under a tree,
for want of a better roof, will be a little
surprized to see in the advertizing columns
of the Adelaide papers, a notice oi
the concert to be given on Wednesday,
next, by Messrs Platts & Bennett; and
will agree with us in thinking, that an
eveuiug may be much more agreeably passed
under the roof-tree of such really elegant
rooms as those of the Messrs. Solomon,
in listening to the strains of the masterspirits
of harmony of our own land, 'and to
the vocal melody of the our emigrant brethren,
than in endeavouring to repose under
the finest South Australian gum-tree,
listening to, and shrinking from, me monotonous
howling of the corrobories of our
sable brethren. Still more surprized will
they be, if they should happen to see the
handsome tinted " programmes" of the
music selected for the occasion, creditable
alike to the taste of our " masters of the
tuneful art," and to the neatness of the
" printer's hand " in South Australia. We
trust Messrs. Platts and Bennett will have
liberal encouragement to renew their
praiseworthy endeavours to provide elegant
and innocent amusement for the
evening hours of our lieges.
