E. T. PAULL TO PUBLISH NEW MARCH. J. H. REMICK OFF ON DETROIT TRIP.
"The Race Course" the Title of New Number
Which Will Be Issued Early in February as
That Publisher's Regular Semi-Annual Pro-
duction.
"The Race Course" is the title given a new
march two-step which will be issued by the E. T.
Paull Music Co. early in February. The new
number will come as the usual semi-annual offer-
ing by that house, whose policy is to produce but.
two new publications each year. "The Race
Course" was written by J. Glogan, but has been
rearranged by E. T. Paull. Mr. Paull's custom
is to be the sole author of the second of the two
marches which he publishes yearly, but to re-
arrange or rewrite for the first one a march sub-
mitted by some other composer. His own last
composition was the "Lincoln Centennial Grand
March," which has had a wide vogue and is still
selling in large volume.
The "Ben-Hur Chariot Race," the first number
issued by the E. T. Paull Co., some fifteen years
ago, is an active seller to-day, as are the "Mid-
night Fire Alarm," "A Signal from Mars," "Paul
Revere's Ride," and "The Burning of Rome."
These have really become standard' sellers, al-
though all the other Paull issues, for that mat-
ter, have gained a regular following throughout
the country, so that the composer-publisher has
become widely known as "the new march king."
NEW AGENTS FOR NOVE CO.'S CATALOG.
The Nove Music Publishing Co., of which Ber-
nard Nove is manager, have closed a deal where-
by the Jos. W. Stern Publishing Co. will act as
selling agents for the catalog of the former firm.
The Nove Co. are agents for the Star Music
Co., of London, and have an extensive list of
songs which are being featured by prominent
singers in various cities.

Offices of That Publisher—Demand for Song
Leaders Increases.
The offices of the F. B. Haviland Publishing
Co., music publishers, present a busy aspect
these days, with professional singers dropping
in for copies of that firm's song successes and
the clerks and shippers attending to the various
details of music shipments to the trade. The
Review found Mr. Haviland trying to talk to
four men at once the other day, but he paused
long enough to discuss business conditions as
he finds them.
"Affairs here are getting better and better
every day," he said. "Business has improved
steadily since the first of the year, so that al-
though we noted a little of the duiness which
publishers generally had to contend with in
December, we now have good reason to be sat-
isfied with the situation, looking at it from
every point of view. Our song leaders continue
to grow in popularity. Some of these, indeed,
are now firmly established as the kind that
make successes for professional acts and cus-
tomers for the music trade. Those of our songs
whose merit has been thus proved include 'I'm
Awfully Glad I Met You,' novelty song; 'You'll
Come Back,' coon song; 'Monkey Doodle Dandy,'
jungle song, and 'Society Swing,' march and
two-step, by Henry Frantzen, which promises
to be even more of a success than his famous
'College Life' march. The same composer's
inarch song, 'I want a Girl From Yankee Doodle
Town,' and Drislane and Meyer's 'Under the
Irish Moon,' love ballad, also continue among
our successful features."
