THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
A VERY successful soiree tnusicale was given on the
13th inst., at Berkeley Lyceum Concert Hall, West
44th street, N. Y., by Mrs. Clara E. Thorns, in honor of
Mme. P. L. Lencioni. The programme was highly class-
ical. Among the artists who took part in the concert
were Miss Al na Hultkrantz. from the Royal Opera,
Stockholm; Miss Florence Mangam, Mile. Helene Sum-
batoff pupil of Mrs. Clara E. Thorns; Dr. Carl E. Mar-
tin, Mr. Maurice Sternbergand Mr. Carl E. Martin. The
piano used was manufactured by Behr Bros. & Co., N .
Y., and the beauty of its tone created a profound im-
pression. A Behr grand recently played at the Acad-
e m y of Music and the Historical Hall in Brooklyn was
-also the subject of high praise.
W E had a pleasant call from Mr. Reinhard Kochman,
the genial representative of BehnitJg & Son. Mr Koch-
man has recently returned from an extensive trip West.
He remarked that when he was in Savannah, the Har-
monic Club, the leading social organization of that
Southern metropolis, had just decided to have their
parlors graced by a Behning cabinet grand piano.
THE Wilcox & White " Pneumatic Symphony " organ '
is about to be introduced at New Haven, Conn., by
E. L Catlin, of the Elliot House Block in that city, in
conjunction with Mr. G. H. Hall, whose services Mr.
Catlin has secured.

by detectives. Seventeen music boxes were recovered,

It is refreshing to observe the cheery, kindly, and thor-
ough manner in which he directs the operations of his
factory, a visit to which will make the lazy man
ashamed of himself, and will encourage the industrious
to be more industrious still. Mr. Smith's success is
but the natural outcome of his unflagging perseverence,
his mastery of his trade, and his personal charms.
