HOW TO REACH THE RESORTS OF
COLORADO.
OLORADO has become famous for its marvelous
gold and silver productions, for its picturesque
scenery, and its delightful climate. Its mining
towns and camps, its massive mountains, with their
beautiful green verdured valleys, lofty snow-capped
peaks and awe-inspiring cations, together with its
hot and cold mineral springs and baths, and its
healthful climate, are attracting, in greater numbers
each year, tourists, invalids, pleasure and business
seekers, from all parts of the world.
At each of the prominent Colorado resorts are
spacious hotels so completely appointed that every
appreciable comfort and luxury are bestowed upon
their patrons.
The journey, from Chicago, Peoria or St. Louis to
Denver (the great distributing point for Colorado)
if made over the Burlington Route (C. B. & Q. R. R.)
will be as pleasant and gratifying as it is possible for
a railroad trip to be. It is the only line with its own
track between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Moun-
tains, and the only line running every day in the year
through trains between Chicago, Peoria or St. Louis
and Denver. It also runs through daily trains between
Kansas City and Denver. These through trains are
elegantly equipped with all the modern improvements,
and ride you over a track that is as smooth and safe
as a perfect roadbed, steel rails, iron bridges, inter-
locking switches and other devises, constructed in
the most skillful and scientific manner, can make it.
At all coupon ticket offices in the United States and
Canada will be found on sale, during the tourist sea-
son, round-trip tickets via this popular route, at
low rates to Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo,
Colorado. When ready to start, call on your home
ticket agent or address Perceval Lowell, General
Passenger Agent Burlington Route, Chicago, 111.

T will be remembered that a few months ago we
gave the portrait of Mr. Fred. Schraudenbach,
the music dealer of Morristown, New Jersey, in
our "Portrait Gallery." We mentioned in the same
issue of the Music TRADE REVIEW that Mr. Schrau-
denbach was a prominent member of Post 24 Flute
and Drum Corps, in his town. He is in reality a
leader of that admirable organization, which num-
bers twenty-five pieces, as follows :—five 1st B flutes,
four 2d B flutes, three 3d B flutes, one F flute, one
F Piccolo, nine tenor, (one of which is played with
great ferocity by Mr. Schraudenbach), one bass
drum, and one pair of cymbals.
Mr. Schraudenbach recently sent us several press
notices of this flute and drum corps.which deservedly
stands high in the estimation of the worthy inhabi-
tants of the beautiful city of Morristown, which
notices it gives us great pleasure to reprint.
Q. A. R. ENCAMPMENT AT PRINCETON JUNCTION, N. J.
The Fute and Drum Corps proved quite a feature
in Camp, and was unanimously voted the finest
organization there. Many neighboring Posts sought
our Drum Corps for especial service in and about
Camp. They took a prominent part in the sham bat-
tle, helping make the scene truly realistic by their
inspiring music.—Chronicle, Morristown, N. J., Sept.
8, 1883.

fellows and we hope to see them here again.—Gazette,

Everybody was highly pleased with the fine appear-
ance and excellent music of Morristown's crack Fife
and Drum Corps.—Star, Washington, N. J., July 9,
1885.
Referring to our portrait and sketch of Mr.
Schraudenbach the Morristown Banner says on
June 4:
The last number of the Music TRADE REVIEW,
New York, contains a portrait of our musical towns-
man, Schraudenbach, together with a pen sketch of
his life. We are bound to say that neither the por-
trait, (the work of which is fine^, nor the sketch does
our talented young townsman full justice, but they
are a pleasant compliment, nevertheless.
From the Morristown Chronicle we take the follow-
ing :
The
Music TRADE REVIEW, published in New
York, in its issue of May 20, contains on its cover
a large sized portrait of Mr. Fred. Schraudenbach,
proprietor of the Morristown Music Emporium. We
are pleased to note that Fred's popularity and stand-
ing in the musical world has entitled him to a posi-
tion in the portrait gallery of the REVIEW'S collection
of musical lights.
Mr. Schraudenbach has just finished his three
weeks' camping out vacation at Lake Hopateong.
