Behning News.
Augustus Behning, of the Helming Piano
Co., has started on a lengthy Western tour
in the firm's interests. He does not expect
to return until the early part of June.
Charles Spanier, Behning representative,
leaves on Monday next for a six-weeks' trip
in the East and Middle West.
Callers at the Behning factory this week
included Howard Collins, of the Barron &
Collins Co., Danielson, Conn.; Frank Schil-
ling, Oswego, N. Y.; and A. Le Roy Con-
key, New Milford, Conn., all successful
Behning agents. The Barron & Collins Co.
have represented the Behning interests at
Danielson for the past fifteen years and have
built up an important Behning following in
their territory. Mr. Collins left a big order,
to be shipped promptly for the spring trade.
Next week will be issued a new Behning
catalogue, including several new styles in
uprights, notably styles K, 21, 19 and 15, all
having handsome, original case designs and
embracing the special Behning features of
tone and construction.

Williamson Bros., Behr Bros, agents at
Los Angeles, have received the following
letter from Mr. R. M. Close, 936 Grattan
street in that city, bearing date April 2, 1901:
"Gentlemen—I am somewhat interested in
the purchasing of a piano for a large room
in our city, and write this for price on con-
cert grand of Behr Bros. make. I specify
the Behr Bros, because I have had one in my
residence for nearly ten years and anyone
hearing it to-day would not think it more
than two years from the factory. It has had
the hardest kind of use, as my daughter uses
it hard for from two to four hours each day.
It is never closed, as the little children who
come to visit my little one understand that
the piano is also for their use.
"And further, I had it tuned about six
months before leaving the east last summer.
By chance^ the same tuner that tuned it
is in Los Angeles. He was very much sur-
prised to find it so little out of tune after six
months use, and a journey of 3700 miles.
"P.S. Anyone doubting the above state-
ment is at liberty to call and examine the in-
strument to their satisfaction,"

The Fabian Reunion.
. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fabian
Union will take place at the Lexington Opera
House, 58th St. and Lexington Ave., Monday,
April 22. It being the silver jubilee of the or-
ganization, great preparations have been made
to make the occasion the most memorable
in the history of the club. An elaborate
minstrel program will be presented, in which
a chorus of over fifty male and female artists
will participate, as well as four end men and
an interlocutor in the person of Air. Alex.
J. Brown, the well-known humorist and en-
tertainer. Solos, duets, quartets, and the
Fabian Double Sextet will be heard in the
latest and most up-to-date numbers.
The advance sale of seats indicates that
the affair, from a financial standpoint, will
realize the fullest expectations of the mem-
bers.
The reception which will follow the en-
tertainment, promises to be unusually bril-
liant.
