Paderewski's Prize Fund.
It is gratifying to hear that the prize
fund to encourage native American compos-
ers, established five years ago when Air.
Paderewski appointed William Steinway the
trustee, is now to become operative. The
delay due to the settlement of the William
Steinway estate is now at an end, and it
has been decided to give three prizes this
year, each one of $500, for the best com-
position for full orchestra, the best compo
sition for chorus and orchestra, with or
without solos, and the best piece of chamber
music, respectively.
There has been large response to the in-
vitations to compete for these prizes, and
the list, which was closed a few days ago,
shows a total of sixty-eight manuscripts sub-
mitted—thirty-one orchestra, nine chorus
and twenty-eight of chamber music. The
judges—Messrs. William Gericke, B. J.
Lang, Carl Zerrahn, W. F. Apthorp, Henry
E. Krehbiel, William Henderson, Henry
T: Finck and Samuel San ford—hope to be
able to give their decisions before winter
sets in.

Selling a Stradivarius.
A genuine Stradivarius violin, belonging
to the Sisters of St. Joseph, Weathcrford,
Texas, is soon to be sold. Imprinted in the
wood inside the violin is: "Antonius Stradi-
varius Cremonensio Faciebat Arno 1721."'
The Sisters, who know the value of the in-
strument, are looking for a purchaser.
flerrill ^Prosperity.
At the factory of the Merill Piano Manu-
facturing Co., Lawrence, Mass., they are now
finishing some remarkably handsome pianos
in uprights and grands. The demand for
these instruments continues unimpaired and
it would seem that the great record made
during the past year—an average of twelve
weekly—will not only be maintained for the
coming twelve months, but materially aug-
mented.
Messrs. Marks and Flather have
good reason to feel proud of the splendid
record which they have made.
