way & Sons, contributed $1,000 to the fund now
being raised in New York by Mayor Grant for the re-
lief of the survivors of the Conemaugb catastrophe.

never weary in well-doing, are turning out their excel-

for their numerous customers, and also for themselves,
that this house increased their manufacturing facilities.
C- W. KENNEDY, of Philadelphia, Pa., was in town
last week.
D. E. FRASIER, of Cambridgeport, Mass,, the well
known piano hammer coverer, finds no fault with the
state of his trade. This is not surprising, seeing that
Mr. Frasier has on hand all the orders he can possibly
fill.
THE steamer Australia, plying between San Fran-
cisco, Cal., and Melbourne, ai d belonging to the Oceanica
Steamship Company of the former city, is about to be
supplied with one of the new style pianos of the W. W.
Kimball Co., Chicago, 111. The instrument was recently
on view at the Kimball warerooms, where it attracted
considerable attention.
F. CONNOR'S (NT. Y.) wholesale piano trade is excel-
lent. So great is the demand for his instruments that
his manufacturing power is kept fully taxed all the
time. The advantages of Mr. Connor's new warerooms
at No. 4 East 42d street, N. Y., have proved more than
equal to his anticipations. Even during the recent dull

A NEW branch of Calder's Music Hout.e, Ogden,
Utah, was opened about the middle of last month, with
a fine stock of Sieinway, Behr, Chickering, Steck, Hard-

upon the extension of their borders.
C. A. SMITH & Co., of Chicago. 111., find it no easy
matter to fill with desirable promptitude the large
orders for their pianos which dealers, near and remote,
shower upon them. Their large new factory in Superior
street presents an extraordinarily busy scene. If the
dealers who are pressing Messrs. Smith & Co. so hardly
could but observe the strenuous efforts now being made
by those distinguished Chicagoans to keep abreast of
orders, they would be filled with surprise and admira-
tion. For good men, good management, and good and
rapid work it is not an easy matter to excel C. A. Smith

A HANDSOME catalogue is that of The Smith Ameri-
can Organ & Piano Co., Boston, Mass. just issued. It
contains well-executed illustrations of several new styles
of organs, of which the "Connoisseur" and the " Bijou
Connoisseur" will prove especially attractive to dealers.
The " Connoisseur" is noticeable on account of the
following changes recently made therein, viz:—(1) Every
stop is now enclosed in a complete and perfect swell;
(2) The sub-bass is reduced to one octave compass, and
enclosed in a box, mellowing the tone without decreasing
its power ; (3) A new stop, cello, is obtained by enclosing
the bassoon in a swell; (4) The saxophone runs through-
out the keyboard, the bass bearing the name of Bourdon
