HONOR C. B. HAWLEY'S MEMORY.
A graceful tribute to the memory of the late
Charles B. Hawky was paid by John Wanamaker
in the memorial concert devoted to the composi-
tions of this distinguished composer, which was
given last Saturday in the auditorium. The pro-
gram was one of unusual interest and was inter-
preted by celebrated artists. The Knabe and
Schomacker pianos were used.

THAT the first annual meeting and election of
the Greater New York Music Publishers' and Deal-
ers' Association will be held at the Hotel Imperial
next Tuesday evening.
THAT those who do not attend cannot plead lack
of notice when they find out the good time they
missed.
THAT, according to a contemporary, band lead-
ers with carnival companies plan to set aside
special days for featuring the publications of prom-
inent houses.
THAT the idea should certainly sound good to
the members of the trade.
THAT Teddy Morse on his vaudeville tour is
getting some excellent ideas of music pluggers'
tactics from the other side of the fence.
THAT Jack Glogau, of the Feist staff, who has
been doing some professional work on the road in
the Middle West, returned to headquarters on Mon-
day full of good reports.
THAT Theodore Morse is the latest member of
the music fraternity to fall a vistim to la grippe,
but is getting along nicely.

AN ELABORATEjriTLE PAGE.
Cover of "Siam" the Most Elaborate and Ex-
pensive Produced by Leo Feist, Inc.
For "Siam," the new song by Howard Johnson
and Fred Fischer, Leo Feist, Inc., has provided a
title page that is declared to be the most elaborate
and costly that the house has yet put on one of its
songs, and the general effect indicates that the ef-
fort and expense have not been wasted. The sketch
itself is most artistic and distinctly Oriental, and
the blending of the many colors serves to bring out
the details with excellent effect.
