CORRESPONDENCE

NEWTONVILLE, MASS.
Editor of the Musical Critic and Trade Review:
SIR : What is your opinion of Herr Antonio Simpkins as a musican ? After you elab-
orate criticism of Arthur Sullivan, who, by the way is Dr. Sullivan, and no Philadelphia
bogus one either, you say your idea, etc., of him, is " much nearer the truth." Tf
It ^ is » a
mass of consummate rot, with perfect ignorance combined. Give us your grand idea of
Simpkins!
OMNES.
I We have not the pleasure of the acquaintence of Mr. Simpkins, of New-
tonville, bixt suspect he is our old friend, the crushed Simpkins of
Bungtown (who conceals his identity under the norn de plume of " Omnes.")
A prominent musician of this city whom we have consulted on the subject,
says that it is the same man ; he recognizes Simpkins' peculiar style.—[Ed.
