DKAR 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 remarkably 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 entile satisfaction in every respect.
•y\ry truly yours,
W. K. ROGERS, Private Secretary to the President.

THE A. B. Chase Co., Norwalk, Ohio, writes us :
" We have never been so very busy in all our business
experience. Orders and inquiries have been pouring
in on us faster than we could begin to take care of
them. Mr. Moore has been in your city looking up men
and material to enable us to get out of the wilderness
soon as possible. Our stock of organs was never so
low at this time of the year. And the orders for
pianos have to wait their turn for weeks."
JAMES M. STARR & Co., Richmond, Ind , state that
trade in January was even better than in December.
This proves that this firm is having a regularly in-
creasing business. Wherever we go the dealers al-
ways speak well of the Starr piano.
DENISON BHOS., Deep River, Conn., are having a
very large business. Their :top knobs are used by
many of the first class manufacturers and always
prove satisfactory.
PRATT READ & Co., Deep River, Conn., are at
present having all the orders they can fill. Their
highest priced keys seem (o be in great demand.

ago in the office of Isaac I. Cole & Son, veneer deal-

just purchased the finest lot of rosewood that was
ever grown. Isaac I. Cole & Son supplied it.
VERDI has invented some new instruments for his
new opera, "Othello." Among them are violins with
five strings, a gigantic flute which is pitched two oc-
taves below those in present use, and an entirely new
instrument, made of copper, wood and an ass's skin,
which is to groan when Othello smothers Desdemo-
na. Seats for the first performance, in Milan, Janu-
uary 30, are sold at fabulous prices, orchestra stalls
at $100 to $150, while the best boxes have fetched at
auction $600.
JACOB SMITH, Great Barrington, Mass., has taken
the agency for the East of Reynolds & Tomblin's
piano mover. Mr. Smith is an energetic dealer, and
will no doubt do a good business with this excellent
mover.

GEO. F. ILLIDGE returned a few days ago from a
long trip through the West in the interests of the
Guild piano. While in New York he made arrange-
ments with W. F. Tway to handle the piano in the
territory controlled by him. Mr. Tway has a large
trade, and will no doubt do well with the Guild.

WE understand that Llnderaan «fc Sons-have leased
the upper part of the factory of the Brunswick &
Balke Billiard Table Co., foot of East 8th street, for
manufacturing purposes. This will give the firm a
capacity of 100 pianos a week.

into a stock company and continue business.
