t|?pME time since we printed an article con-
^
cerning Mr. Victor S. Flechter, in which
we said that he had been guilty of defrauding
the United States by undervaluations in in-
voices. We find upon investigation that we
were in error, and that there was no justification
for that statement. We regret the publication
and cheerfully make this correction.—N. Y.
Times.
Harlem Opera House. <' The Old Homestead.''
Denman Thompson. The interest that the pub-
lic take in this delightful play and favorite
player seems to suffer no diminution. Mr.
Thompson on his return to New York after a
year's absence was greeted with great enthu-
siasm by a crowded house. The play is likely
to have a long run in Harlem.
" Little Tippett " will begin the fourth week
of its present run at Herrmann's Theatre on next
Monday night. There is no abatement either
in the fun of the comedy or in the crowded
houses attending it. The cast comprising the
play is a more than ordinarily strong one, com-
prising such sterling and well-known actors as
Edward Bell, Charles Bowser, Harry Allen, Ida
Waterman and Mabel Bert. The piece is elabor-
ately staged with all the accessories of scenery
and costume, and no detail has been left undone
to secure for it the patronage it is receiving.
Harrigan 's Theatre. '' The Mulligan Guards'
Ball. Mr. Edward Harrigan. In the art of
sketching the humorous side of life and giving
it a sparkling stage presentation Mr. Harrigan
has no superior. It is over fifteen years since
he originated "The Mulligan Guards' Ball,"
which was first presented at the old Theatre
Comique, No. 514 Broadway, and he has repro-
duced it in a theatre which is his own property.
For the advance which, in spite of a serious loss
by fire, he has in those fifteen years made in
material prosperity and in the development of
his intellectual resources, he is entitled to high
commendation. '' The Mulligan Guards' Ball,''
although it hardly equals some of his later
comedies, is full of comic delineation of charac-
ter, fun and genial satire. Dave Braham's
piquant songs, which are sung everywhere, also
add to its humorous attractiveness. The enter-
tainment is thorough in its comic cogency, and
will doubtless have a long run.
Fourteenth Street Theatre. '' Aunt Bridget's
Baby." Mr. George W. Monroe. This lively
farce-comedy is more popular than ever. Mr.
Monroe has made of the character of Aunt
Bridget one of those original and unique crea-
tions that the public never fail to highly appre-
ciate. The entertainment glitters with light,
fun and color. " T h e Ensign," a new naval
play, will be presented next week.
Mrs. Adele Baldwin, contralto, is announced
as the soloist at the first concert of the Apollo
Club, December 13, and will also sing in the
" Messiah," in St. Louis, Christmas week.
Herren Johannes Wolff and Joseph Hollman,
the famous violinist and violoncellist, have
arrived in this city, and will give their initial
concert December 9th in Chickering Hall, under
the management of Mr. Ruben. At the third
Philharmonic Concert, January 14th, Herr Wolff,
the violinist, will play Godard's second concerto
for violin, a work which is dedicated to him.

THE WONDERFUL
A. B. CHASE
PIANOS.
1. Wonderful in Tone quality.
Rich, deep, bell like and pure,
2. Wonderful in strength of frame.
Strongest possible combination of woods glued
and bolted together.
3. Wonderful in improving by age and use.
Pianos sold five years ago are said to be better
in tone than when they were sold.
1. Wonderful in selling qualities.
Tone, action, style, finish, patented improve-
ments all taking.
5. Wonderful in popularity.
Even our strongest competitors all praise them.
6. Wonderful in phenomenal success.
Only 5 years since the first A. B. CHASE
pianos were made, and now they are taking
the lead everywhere.
7. Wonderful in character of its agents.
The very best men in the trade seek the agency
for these instruments. No others need apply.

THE A. B. CHASE CO .,
NOSWALE, OHIO.
Miss S A U J E HEWITT, a daughter of ex-Mayor
Hewitt, has purchased a music rack of rare his-
toric interest. It once belonged to the unfortun-
ate Queen Marie Antoinette, and was designed
for her by her future husband, I^ouis XVI. of
France, while he was still the Dauphin. It is a
beautiful piece of repousse iron work, with
Cupids, roses, vines and garlands. Miss Hewitt
bought this rack at an auction, Thursday after-
noon, at 238 Fifth avenue, and paid $275 for it.
, N. Y., seems to offer little en-
couragement as a musical town. Since the late
failures there, also the death of Mr. Kittinger,
an old respected dealer, Mackie, of Rochester,
opened up, but has since withdrawn, and says
the game there is not worth the powder.
TRADE in Buffalo seems to move on all right,
and G. & F. Hedge, Son & Co. are firm be-
lievers in the merits of the " Old Reliable Brad-
bury, " and judging from the stock of Hennings
they carry, we think these two pianos must
have a good sale in Buffalo as well as many
other important points.
MARC A. BIAJMKNBERG has entered complaint
against Secretary Wilson, of the World's Faif
Music Bureau. Mr. Blumenberg demands Mr.
Wilson's removal from the secretaryship, on the
ground that he has prematurely published in
his paper information concerning the work of
the bureau, to the disadvantage of his competi-
tors in musical journalism.
GERMAN piano manufacturers are reported to
be in great distress. Formerly they sold many
instruments in Russia, but the present duty of
$100 on a grand piano, and $60 on an upright,
has almost put an end to the export of pianos.
