business. They are about increasing their capi-
tal stock, and are considering estimates for a
large four story addition to their present factory.
FREEBORN G. SMITH, JR., of Bradbury piano
fame, and Col. Alexander S. Bacon, vice-presi-
dent of the Webster Piano Co., have gone to
Europe and intend making an extended tour of
the continent. This is the first time that Mr.
Smith has visited Europe, and we have no doubt
that he and Col. Bacon will heartily enjoy them-
selves and be benefited by their European ex-
perience.
MR. L. A. SUBERS, of Worcester, Mass., re-
cently gave a musical recital in Horticultural
Hall. There was an exhibition of a piano strung
with the new Subers' compound music wire,
which was pronounced by the audience a great
success. Among the musical gems of the even-
ing were piano selections by Mr. D. B. Allen
and a vocal solo by Mr. John W. Dorris.
