THE
MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

CONDUCTED BY V. D. WALSH
PUBLISHERS AND DEALERSJIOLD ANNUAL BEEFSTEAK
Yearly Gathering of Local Association Attended by Large Crowd Which Thoroughly Enjoys
Sumptuous Repast and a Most Excellent Entertainment—No Business Transacted
The annual beefsteak dinner of the Greater
New York Music Publishers' and Dealers' Asso-
ciation was held on Tuesday evening of last
week at Lyons', 56 East Forty-first street, and
was one of the most successful entertainments
ever given by that organization. The attend-
ance was quite large and the entertainment, con-
tributed by several clever and remarkable per-
sonalities well known in the music-publishing
field, could not be excelled.
An orchestra furnished music during the ban-
quet, and this was interspersed by extempora-
neous entertainment. During the course of the
evening a number of the song successes of by-
gone days were played and invariably the gath-
ering joined in the chorus, aided, naturally, by
the potent fluid which had been served from
time to time.
Among those who contributed by their serv-
ices in the way of entertainment were John
Barnes Wells, Phil Ohman, Jake Fassett, Louis
R. Dressier, Harvey Hindemeyer and Charles
Gallagher.
All received extended applause and there was
no favoritism shown in acknowledging the
merits of the offerings.
Particular mention
should be made, however, of Jake Fassett's ren-
dition of several South Sea Island songs which
he had discovered and compiled into a cycle
following an extended trip in that territory.
These songs were sung in the native language
with the appropriate gesticulations, and each
was preceded by a short description of its native
meaning.
No active business of any importance had been
planned and the routine matters of the Associa-
tion are to be taken up at the next meeting. A
telegram was read from George Fischer, presi-
dent of the Association, who sent his regrets at
being unable to attend. The affair was unani-
mously voted a huge success by all those in
attendance.
