and the addition of Messrs, Austin and W. C. Carpenter
to the working force."
Either something appalling has happened to the
" only music trade editor," or Mr. E. P. Carpenter
knows nothing about his own business affairs. Mr.
Carpenter called at the office of THE MUSIC TRADE RE-
VIEW, a few days ago and informed us that the para-
graph alluded to is both inaccurate and incomplete.
The facts of the matter are as follows: Mr. E. P. Car-
penter not only retains an interest, but his former
interest, in the E. P. Carpenter Company; and he is also
one of the directors of that organization. Herein will be
seen both the inaccuracy and the incompleteness of the
Blumenberg utterance. Further, Mr. Omniscient Ed-
itor says nothing, save in the vaguest manner, of the
reason of Mr. Carpenter's resignation of the presidency.
This is a matter of which Mr. Carpenter is naturally
desirous that a correct impression should prevail.
Being largely interested in developing new industries
in the South, Mr. Carpenter felt that he could not con-
scientiously retain the presidency of the company.
Judging from his conversation with us, we think it safe
to predict that ere long he may be at the head of a
large organ manufacturing concern in the new South,
in the progress and prosperity of which he has a strong
belief. In the meantime, however, he retains his inter-
est in, and his position upon the directorate of, the E.
P. Carpenter Company.
Now, there is something like a complete item of news,

DEPARTURE FOR HAMBURG OF DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS
OF THE MUSIC TRADE. VALEDICTORY
CELEBRATIONS.
ATURDAY, May 25, 1889, was made memorable
in the annals of the music trade by the departure
of a distinguished party from American shores.
Shortly before three o'clock on the afternoon of that
bright day, there were gathered together at the dock of
the Hamburg line of steamships the voyageurs, viz.:
Henry Behning, Jr., of the great piano manufacturing
firm of Behning & Son, N. Y..; Charles Tonk, of the
firm of William Tonk & Brother, N. Y.; Mrs. Julius
Bauer & Co., piano makers of Chicago, 111., her son
Willie and her daughter Annie Bauer.
A goodly number of relatives and friends accompanied
the above mentioned ladies and gentlemen to the dock
and on board the good Steamship Suevia. Among them
were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Behning, Sr., Mrs. Henry
Behning Jr., Mr. Al. Behning and Mr. Gustave Behn-
ing, Mr. and Mrs. William Tonk, Mr. and Mrs. Philip
Wendland, Mr. F. Leporin, Mr. Francis J. Bird, Mr.
Rudolph Gross, Mr. Jacob Doll, Professor Meed ing,
Chas. Bodenberg, Mr. Battes, Mr. Charles Hagen, Mr.
Harry E. Freund, of FreutuVs Music and Drama; a
S
representative of THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW, and a
considerable number of the employees of Behning &
Son.
Previously to the moment of sailing a pleasant and
jocular conversation was briskly carried on between the
temporary emigrants and their kinsfolk and friends,
and mutual good wishes were exchanged. Amid all
the good-humored bustle and excitement, however, it
must be said, to their credit, that a deeper and more
affectionate feeling was evident among the members of
the parting families—a feeling which all whose good
hearts will not let them become hardened to the effects

P
UBLIC appreciation of the merits of the pianos
made and sold by Mathushek & Son, New York
City, does not show any sign of decreasing. On
the contrary, the musical voice of the people has with
unerring instinct demanded that that firm send forth
their excellent instruments in greater quantities than
ever.
Obedient to this call, Mathushek & Son have increas-
ed their powers of production, and in addition to the
" Equilibre," which has proved a somewhat too expen-
sive piano for many dealers, have resolved to manufac-
ture in conjunction therewith a piano of'regular grade.
Considering the numerous improvements in piano-
forte manufacture effected by Mathushek & Son, and
their half-century of experience in the building of
pianos, there is no risk whatever in stating that they
will in every way accomplish the desires of all dealers
who do not feel justified in paying the expensive price
charged for that paragon of excellence the " Equilibre."
The factory and warerooms of this old and distinguish-
ed house are now located at their new building, Nos.
313 and 315 West 125th street, N. Y. All dealers, and
all others interested in pianos, are cordially invited to
visit these rooms and inspect the splendid instruments
therein displayed, both of the " Equilibre ' and other
styles.
It is important that dealers should bear in mind that
Mathushek & Son have not the slightest connection of
any kind with the New Haven (Conn.) concern who
use the same name. The members of THE firm of
Mathushek & Son, New York City, are Frederick
Mathushek and V. Hugo Mathushek.
