DEAB SIB:—Mrs. President Hayes directs me to -write to you that the new
Bradbury upright piano which she ordered has been placed in the Executive
Mansion, in the private parlor—the best place in the house—where she re-
ceives and entertains her friends—where it is greatly admired by her and
all her friends who see it. It is a romarkably fine instrument in quality of
tone, finish and touch, and everything that goes to make it a truly first-
class piano, and further, that it gives entire satisfaction in every respect.
Very truly yours,

A SAFETY check for music boxes has been patented
by Mr. C. Henry Jacot, of Hoboken, N. J. Combin-
ed with the cylinder shaft is a ratchet wheel and a
double pawl having a weighted arm, whereby the
shaft will be stopped and held should its speed be
unduly increased, thus preventing the pins and teeth
of the comb from danger of being broken or injured.
LAWRENCE BROS., of Easton, Pa., manufacturers
of six and seven octave "parlor upright" organs, re-
port trade increasing to such an extent that they are
compelled to increase their production, and will
begin at once to build an addition to their factory,
which will make it almost three times its present
size. Their organs have no stops or stop action, the
whole organ being controlled with the knee swells,
simply and effectually arranged. They use their
patent pedals (nickel plated), which give more per-
fect control of the bellows than any made. They are
the ONLY manufacturers of seven octavo organs,
which are meeting with great success.
L. J. WHEELDEN, Rockland, Me., has bought out
the business of Brown Bros.
STURTEVANT & Co., New York, have issued a cir-
cular printed in the Spanish language.
KORNUMPF & MOOG, Huntingburg, Iud., have dis-
solved.
FOR the week ending September 29, musical instru-
ments were exported to the amount of $3,251, aad
were imported to the amount of $16,869.
The management of the North, Central and South
American Exposition have made arrangements with
the different roads between here and New Orleans, so
that a New Yorker can make the round trip for $32.50.
Last year it cost $45.
CHRISTIE & BRENNAN intend closing their store in
New Haven. Mr. Christie finds it impossible to at-
tend to the stores in New Haven and Stamford, so
will confine his efforts to their Stamford business
and opened a handsome store in that place.
SHELDON BALL has opened warerooms at 27 East
Fourteenth street.
JACK HAYNES, the wide awake representative of
GROVESTEEN & FULLER, New York, are thinking
Augustus Baus & Co., New York, has left for an ex-
tended trip through the West. Jack's untiring efforts
in the interests of this firm, are daily securing them
of retiring from business. Here is a good chance
for some one with brains and moderate capital.

THE managers of the North, Central and South
American Exposition are doing everything in their
power to make this the greatest Exposition ever held.
Gen. C. H. Barney, Northern Manager in this city,
has just received a telegram to offer the Grant Mem-
orial Association such space as it may need in the
Exposition building for the sale of all articles that
pay tribute to the fund.
THE Piano Makers' delegate states that that body
has voted $41 more toward the support of the silk

MANUFACTURERS of pianos and organs will confer
a favor upon us by sending their latest catalogues as
soon as possible.

Chicago Warerooms, 179 Wabasb. Ave.
R. H. RODDA, MANAGES.
PEEK & SON, New York, continue to have their
good trade. They are placing upon the market some
new styles which undoubtedly take well.
KRAKAUED
No better TONE, WORKMANSHIP,
Finer Cases, or more satisfactory In-
struments can be made than the
keep up with their orders. Their glass panel has
made a great hit and all their dealers are crazy for
instruments containing this invention.
THE Behning piano took the" first prize at the
Pennsylvania State Fair, held in Philadelphia a few
days ago. *T. Scherer, the Philadelphia agent, is do-
Ing a large business with the Behning.
THE Wilmington, Del., Republican states that F.
Wagner drives an $1,800 trotter. If this is true, he
ought to be able to "get there" ahead of the other
dealers in the place.
C. J. HEPPE, Philadelphia, Pa., states that trade
is very good. Mr. Heppe does business on the one
price system, and finds it'very satisfactory to the
public and profitable to himself.
WOODWARD & BROWN have a very wide-awake
Philadelphia agent in Mr. Ramsdell. He does not
stoop to any unfair means to sell his goods, yet he
sells lots of Woodward & Brown pianos to the peo-
ple in his territory, and he is making this instru-
ment a very popular one in Philadelphia.
GEO. L. -WALKER & SON, Philadelphia, Pa., inform
us that it is almost impossible to get their pianos
from the factories fast enough to fill their orders.
They say that trade has taken a wonderful spurt
within the past few weeks, and now it seems more
like old times.
