A PRINCESS VIOLINIST.
NE of the curious sights of the exposition, in fact,
the principal attraction on the programme of a
cafe-concert, is a princess violinist. Princess Lilly
Dolgorouky was born at Madrid. Her mother was
Spanish, her father French, and Lilly Caznas began her
career as a wandering violinist. . Suddenly it was dis-
covered that she had great talent, and her studies were
completed under Wieniawskf and Kouski. She was
courageous enough to give concerts at St. Petersburgh,
and to the hotel where she and her mother lived came
Prince Vladimir Dolgorouky, cousin of the morganatic
wife of Alexander II. H. Lilly and the Prince fell in
love, but. Vladimir Dolgorouky lost sight of the violin-
ist until one day be heard that after a concert at Mos-
cow she had been robbed of all her diamonds. He hast-
ened to Moscow, offered her more diamonds, his heart,
his hand and his name. But Lilly Caznas did not find
a princely home sufficient compensation for the bravos
of the public, and the Prince and Princess were separ-
ated—amicably separated, for she was allowed to retain
her husband's name and to reappear upon the stage.
Only once has Prince Dolgorouky interfered ; he was
shocked, scandalized, to see the name of Princess Dol-
gorouky, a name that is traced back to Rurik, the first
Grand Duke of Russia, on handbills in the city of Ber-
lin. He asked the Russian Embassy to prohibit these
advertisements, but the embassy was powerless. The
day after the Princess had been called before the am-
bassador Berlin was flooded with placards :
O
" Her Highness, Princess Lilly Dolgorouky, violinist
to the empress of all the Russias,"
Since that time she has played in all the large cities
of Europe, and everywhere she is the Princess Dol-
gorouky.—Paris letter to Philadelphia Bulletin.
THE EMERSON PIANO IN NEW YORK.
OPENING OF NEW AND ELEGANT WAREROOMS IN THIS
CITY BY THE EMERSON PIANO COMPANY, OF BOSTON,
MASS.—GEORGE BLUMNER IN COMMAND.
HE Emerson Piano Company, Boston, Mass., are
to be congratulated upon the completion of their
handsome and attractive New York warerooms,
which are now open at No. 92 Fifth Avenue, in the last
mentioned city, a magnificent location.

In the matters of space, decoration, and general ar-
rangement, the new branch is worthy of the great Em-
erson firm, whose fine pianos will now, without doubt,
be the objects of as much attention on the part of mus-
ical and aesthetic New Yorkers as they have hitherto
been on that of the cultured Bostonians. Dealers, too,
will appreciate the wisdom of the new move.
This enterprise has been largely carried out under
the direction of Mr. P. H. Powers and Mr. O. A. Kim-
ball, two gentlemen whose reputation for sound sense,
good judgment and indefatigable zeal in the conduct of
bold exploits and in matters affecting the interests of
the Emerson house is well known throughout the trade.
Prominent among the splendid array of instruments
which adorn the new warerooms is the famous Emerson
Upright, Style 14, a product of mechanical and musical
skill which has with singular rapidity gained the favor
of leading dealers. A special interest will also be taken
in the new Emerson Parlor Grand.
Still, fine pianos, handsome warerooms, and a good
location, though indispensable to the fitting mainten-
ance of the name of a house like the Emerson Piano
Company, will not alone answer the purposes for which
they are selected or brought into existence. There
must also be a manager—an all-potent head. Such an
official is Mr. GeOrge Blumner, who directs the business
of the New York branch of the Company with great
ability, single-mindedness, and vigor. When Blumner
is at the helm, the ship is safe.
With so many and so great advantages, the house of
Emerson may reasonably look forward to a prosperous
• future.
THE Smith-American Organ and Piano Co., Boston,
Mass., continue to enjoy a brisk trade.
