We 8ometime8 receive complaints from subscribers that the Music TRADE JOUR-
NAL does not come to them regularly.
To these we must reply that the fault can hardly lie at this end of the line, as our
wrapping and mailing departments are very carefully supervised.
In most cases we have found that papers have been removed from their wrappers
by parties to whom they were not addressed.
Whenever copies, of the Music TRADE JOURNAL fail to reach subscribers regu-
arly, we trust they will promptly notify us.

OUR ANNIVERSARY.
HE Music TRADE JOURNAL came into existence one year ago to-
day. From the moment of its birth it was a success—a greater
success, even, than its projector had ever dared to hope. It was looked
upon by the trade as an offset to the Music Trade Review, a pro-
tection from the virulence and persecution to which they had been
subjected by that paper. The music trade had never had a cham-
pion until the Music TRADE JOURNAL sprang into being. They
hailed its appearance with delight and gave it an unqualified
support.
We look back upon the career of this paper with pardonable
pride, and believe, that except in the case of the Music Trade Re-
view, the history of journalism in this country presents no other
instance of the firm establishment of a newspaper in so short a time.
So far our progress has been made by quiet, slow, but sure methods.
Neither the paper nor its proprietor is indebted to any one for a
dollar. "We are free and clear from all liabilities, with" solid
subscription and advertising lists, and with prospects of unequalled
encouragement and support.
We might continue in this strain for a column or more, but we
prefer deeds to words. The Music TRADE JOURNAL will soon be
enlarged, its musical department will be extended and improved;
its circulation with the general public, as well as with the trade, will
be vigorously pushed, many new features will be introduced, and
we shall leave no stone unturned to make it the best paper of its
class in the world.

COWARD LOCKWOOD.
N our last issue we mentioned the fact that a Boston piano firm
had reported to us that a hireling of the above-mentioned in-
dividual—who is a publisher in this city—had stated that the Music
TRADE JOURNAL was guilty of an attempt to levy blackmail, or
It is the ambition of the Publisher that the MUSIC TRADE something like it. Since our last we have heard nothing upon the
JOUBJVJ.L should be recognized as the organ of the whole subject from Lockwood, nor have we seen any defense or apology
in the paper which Lockwood publishes, and which the hireling

edits. The least that Lockwood could have done would have been
to repremand the hireling and inform us of the fact; or to cause the

hireling to publish an apology in the paper he edits.
Under the circumstances we think that Lockwood has earned the
right to change his given name from Howard to Coward.
