THE Sherman Music House, of Butte, Mon.,
has secured the Decker Bros, piano as leader.
This house has the reputation of being one of
the most go-ahead in the state, and in the selec-
tion of this instrument it has demonstrated
both enterprise and wisdom. The Decker Bros,
piano is an instrument that will add materially
to the reputation of any house.

EDITOR MUSIC TRADE REVIEW :
Trade for the past week was comparatively-
dull, however we are hoping for a brighter con-
dition of affairs with the opening of the month.
The world of music proper has been exceed-
ingly lively recently. What with Patti in her
last farewell, comic operas, concerts and high
class recitals, we have had some high class music,
and despite the hard times every entertainment
has been well patronized.
A new musical society, to be called the Chica-
go Choral Society, has just been organized un-
der the auspices of the Armour Institute. It is
designed to be of high character, and ample
means will be afforded to make it a marked
success from its inception.
The Chase Bros. Piano Company has just
placed at the disposal of the Press Club of Chi-
cago one of its very best parlor grands in mahog-
any. It is indeed a magnificent instrument, and
the musical experts and critics of the club, of
which there are many, say its tone quality has
not been surpassed. In the parlors of the club
it will be seen and heard by all the distinguished
artists and editors of the country who may visit
Chicago, as the Press Club is noted for its hos-
pitality, and few noted artists visit here without
receiving an invitation to be its guest. Know-
ing its standard in the world of art and letters
the firm made special efforts to furnish a piano
that would be alike a credit to the club and to
the makers.
H. D. Cable of the Chicago Cottage Oagan
Company has just returned from his trip south.
He was in Jacksonville at the time of the great
international exhibition between Prof. Corbett,
of California, and Prof. Mitchell, of England.
Of course this was a mere coincidence, as no one
would ever suspect that Mr. Cable would will-
ingly or purposely be near any thumping match
in which a piano or organ was not involved. Be
that as it may he enjoyed it—that is his trip,
and came home delighted and healthy enough
to tackle C-(or)-hicago weather.
W. O. Bacon, of the Chickering Company,
was recently summoned to the death-bed of his
father, in Boston, who was reported dying.
C. N. Post, of Lyon & Healy, is in Washing-
ton on business connected with his house.
Jas. E. Healy, of Lyon & Healy, is at Hot
Springs, Ark., for rest and recuperation.

CLUB, Jno. A. Anderson, Manager.—The Frank
B. Converse Solid Arm Banjo recently received,
and after a thorough trial I firmly believe that
there is no banjo in existence that can excel my
" F. B. C." banjo for tone. The Frank B. Con-
verse Solid Arm Banjo laughs at opposition and
breaks down competition. Truly yours, ARCHIE
