GENTS : Your favor of the 25th at hand. I will try
a sample piano, and if it proves all satisfactory I
will arrange with you for tho agency for this section.
You may send me one style A piano. I like the style
of your pianos well from what I can see by the cuts,
but I have never had the pleasure of seeing one.
You can make a draft on me at ten days' sight.
Yours truly,
C. H.
BADLAM.
Messrs. S. G. Chickering & Co. had learned of
Badlam's fraudulent methods through the columns
the Music TRADE REVIEW, and at once sent in reply
the following letter:
BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 29,
1886.
MR C. H. BADLAM,
Ogdensburg, N. Y. :
DEAR SIR: Your order for one stylo "A" piano
has been received. We are sorry we cannot send it
without the money in advance. We have " got left"
several times by sending pianos to people when wo
do not know them.
Respectfully yours,
S. G. CHICKFHING & Co.
This, of course, settled Badlam, and he has not
written again.
PETERSEN & BLAIKIE.
HE undersigned, having this day formed a co
partnership under the style of Petersen &
Blaikie, have decided to open Piano and
Music Warerooms in St. Paul and Minneapolis (the
Utter when suitable premises have been secured),
these cities being the mo9t favorable distributing
points for the Great Northwest. While our junior
member, Mr. Blaikie, has been long and favorably
known in this city as a competent and reliable judge
of perfect musical instruments, and whose services
to intending purchasers have been much appreciated,
our senior member, Mr. A. Petersen, has had the
benefit of a long experience of over twenty-three
years in one of the largest piano houses in tho East,
which has enabled him to gain the most extensive
knowledge in selecting the very beet pianos and
organs manufactured in New York, Boston and
olsewhere. Our aim in the past, as it will be in the
future, Is to sell none but the very best pianos and
organs, at prices which yield a fair remuneration,
and on a cash basis, belioving this method to be the
true business principle and most advantageous to
all.
We have great pleasure in announcing that we
have secured the Chickering & Sons', and Christie
& Co.'s Pianos,.Wilcox & White Organs.
Respectfully,
T
PIANO TOUCH.
N an essay on piano touch, read at the M. T.
N. A. last summer and published now in pamph-
let form, Dr. Wm. Mason speaks as follows :
"An Inborn or native touch is a gift, or, as the
Germans felicitously express it, ' of the grace of
God ;' it belongs to genius or talent, and is there-
fore not teachable. The next best thing is a dis-
criminative and intelligent touch, with which musi-
cal quality and purity of tone are rcombined, and
this may be acquired to a greater or less degree by
an infusion of elasticity in the mechanism. Too
much elasticity is bad, and the writer does not wish
this principle to be followed to the exclusion of
others of equal importance, or even to take pre-
cedence of them, but would use it as a leavening in-
fluence by which the whole mechanism can be tem-
pered and qualified. Its use in this way may be
compared to the use of salt or spices in imparting
flavors to food. The hammer-like touch, proceed-
ing principally from the motacarpal joints, has its
use and cannot be dispensed with; but the hard,
harsh and unsympathetic tone it produces when
use 1 alone will be made tender and beautifully sym-
pathetic by subjecting it, in proper degree, to the
softening and m< llifying influences of the elastic
principle. Let Justice be tempered by Mercy.

$23,232.Q6
WE must award the palm to Freund's Christmas
issue of the Music and Drama. It is undoubtedly
the finest issue ever gotten out by that enterprising
concern, and reflects great credit fon its manager,
Mr. Harry E. Freund.
