WILLIAM STEINWAY, chairman of
the Rapid Transit Commission, in a
recent talk with a Herald man, stated that the
real cause of delay in formulating some scheme
of rapid transit was due to the law, which had
made it imperative that the action of the com-
missioners should be unanimous, and had thus
placed it within the power of any one of them,
by obstruction, to defeat any possible action.

the turkey Thursday. Mind how the
wind was knocked out of the foot-ball on the
same day, and please mind how the injustice
will be knocked out of the so-called Wilson
tariff bill when our law-makers assemble again
at Washington.
We would ask chairman Steinway to advise
the obstructionists to call and see us. We will
be happy to act as escort to Harlem and back
during business hours, and if they are not

WEBSTER PIANO COMPANY, of
Brooklyn and New York, are out with an
attractive and well printed "annual," From it
we learn that the depression in business has not
interfered with a most successful trade during
the past year. The Webster Piano Company is
backed by ample capital, and the manufacturing
departments are controlled by competent and
practical men, hence they are enabled to pro-
duce a good instrument at a popular price.

few houses in the trade that have such a claim
on the good will of the American musical public
as the firm of Hazelton Brothers. For the pa&t
forty-three years they have put forth instru-
ments that have commanded the encomiums of
the most eminent artists, and they have done so
with a modesty that is as praiseworthy, as it is
strange, in this commercial age. In this course,
Mr. Samuel Hazelton has wisely adopted the
business methods put in practice years ago by
his eminent uncle, Mr. Henry Hazelton, and
they seem to succeed.

for their grands, and it is no surprise to learn
that a considerable demand has sprung up with-
in the last few weeks for the Hazelton grand
piano, and as a result the Hazelton factory
is not only running on full time, bnt actu-
ally compelled to work overtime. This con-
dition of things is not confined to grands, as
the general trade in uprights shows a decided
revival as well.
