ANNUAL OUTING OF ASSOCIATION
Local Music Publishers and Dealers Spend En-
joyable Day at Glenwood, L. I.—Indulge in
Athletics and a Large Shore Dinner
The second annual outing of the Greater New
York Music Publishers' and Dealers' Associa-
tion was held on Tuesday at Glenwood, L. I.
The start was made from Chas. H. Ditson &
Co.'s store, 10-12 East Thirty-fourth street, at
l l a . m., the members and guests proceeding by
automobile.
Upon arrival at Karatsonyi's Hotel in Glen-
wood, luncheon was served which greatly
pleased the automobilists, who seemed to have
developed excellent appetites on the ride.
After lunch the members proceeded to the
ball grounds in the rear of the hotel, where
sides were chosen and a closely contested ball
game took place. G. Fischer was appointed
captain of one side with a battery consisting of
L. M. Weippert, pitcher, and J. T. Roach, catch-
er. Lons B. Ellert captained the opposing side
with a battery composed of H. L. Dupont,
pitcher, and himself as catcher.
The Kllert team was the winner of the con-
test which lasted six innings, the Ellerts com-
ing from the rear in the last inning by a home
run with the bases full, which was hit over a
"young mountain" by H. L. Dupont, of the Jen-
kins Music House, Kansas City, Mo., who was
a guest of the association.
The ball game over, many of the picnickers
proceeded to the bathing beach, where a swim
in the waters of the bay—guaranteed by the
natives to be free of sharks—was enjoyed.
Leaving the beach, J. F. Gray, of the B. F
Wood Co., was severely cut on the ball of the
foot by a broken shell. However, Mr. Gray
was able, after the dressing of the wound, to
continue as a member of the party.
Races, discus throwing and other sports were
indulged in, and several games of pinochle and
poker were in progress throughout the after-
noon.
At 6.30 p. in. an elaborate shore dinner was

Before commencing dinner J. M.
Priaulx, acting as toastmaster, gave a toast to
President W. L. Coghill. Mr. Coghill was un-
able to attend owing to the sickness of his
daughter, but visited the Ditson store just be-

good time.

way.

WHY MUSIC PUBLISHERS DRINK
Dere sir:—I am sending in this letter a poem
of twenty-one verses which i want you to put
music to and what is the price. It is called the
Dead Lover.
She sat within a winder and a tear stood in
her eye,
The bells were toleing sadly as she saw a beer
go by.
Whose form lies there she wondered, and why-
fore do I cry,
Why does my heart beet so because that beer is
passing by.
Her lover dere had went away and left her
thair to sigh.
And all the time that solumn beer was gown:
farther by.
NEWS OF THE BOSTON PUBLISHERS
Much Interest in Opening of "The Amber Em-
press"—Music Men on Vacation Bent—Sum-
mer Trade Keeps Up Well—Recent Visitors
BOSTON, MASS., August 14.—Music lovers of
the city arc awaiting with keen interest the
opening of the Colonial Theatre on August 21,
when "The Amber Empress" will make its de-
but. The piece was given a try-out in New
Haven early in June, anticipating an immediate
production in this city, but it was found to be
much in need of revision before it was given
to the public. Now, however, everything is in
readiness. The book is by Marcus C. Connelly
and the music by Zoel Parenteau, a composer
new to this country, whose work has received
unstinted praise. There are many popular favor-
ites in the cast.
The Oliver Ditson Co. is having great good
fortune with "On to Plattsburg," which is be-
ing used widely in Boston as well as in other
places. Local orchestras and bands are playing
it a great deal and it always is received with
many encores. E. W. Briggs, treasurer of the
Ditson Co , is back from his vacation spent in
Colebrook, N. H. Clarence A. Woodman, of
the house, spent 'i very pleasant vacation at
Marsh field Hills.
Banks M. Davison, of the White-Smith Music
Co., is at Hyannisport, down on the Cape,
where he and Mrs. Davison have been for a
number of summers. W. M. Bacon, treasurer
and clerk of the concern, is going to Wolfboro,
X. H., the last two weeks of the month. The
summer business with the company has been
pretty good and the Cadman and Ross compo-
sitions are enjoying their usual extent of popu-
larity.
B. F. Wood is having a very pleasant sum-
mer at his farm in Sherborn and does not bother
about coming into the office of the B. F. Wood
Music Co. every day, for his staff is well able
to care for the details of business.
Miss Kellogg, of the Cleveland, O., firm of H.
J. Votteler & Co., has been paying a visit to
Boston and she has been the recipient of much
pleasant attention from some of the representa-
tives of Boston music houses.
Some other music publishing representatives
who have been in town the past few days are
David Smith, of the Chicago house of C- F- Sum-
my & Co., and Howard L. Dupont, of the J. W.
Jenkins' Sons Music Co., Kansas City, Mo.
