11. His Last Soag.
J. P. Skelly.
Three compositions by a well known and suc-
cessful writer of popular ballads. George
Cooper supplied the verse. The poetry of all
three is full of healthy and homely sentiment
expressed in Cooper's intelligent manner. The
melodies are pretty and cleverly arranged.

and the workmanship throughout is good.
15. Melodious, pretty and not difficult.
16. A capital polka full of dancing spirit and
music.
17. Hoist's creative instinct seems to be
always on the move. This march is dedicated
to Gen. Clarke, formerly of the 7th Regiment,
and has already won some success.
18. I'll Wait For Jack.
R. H. Barker.
This song may be singled out for special com-
ment. Mr. Thomas Ford, a very popular and
capable journalist, wrote the verse. He has
given us a very charming poem, which Mr.
Barker has set to excellent music.

The budget of publications before us from
this enterprising house indicates a commend-
able effort to improve the standard of American
music engraving and printing. The titles of
some of the pieces are in many cases strikingly
tasteful and artistic.
1. Un Beso, Waltz.
I. Arnold.
2. Les Douz Tenx, Waltz.
I. Arnold.
Two capital waltz sets, showing intelligent
construction. The latter is dedicated to Mrs.
Potter Palmer, of Chicago. Why give French
titles to American publications, by the way ?
Surely this is affectation ? Mr. Arnold has a
strong and characteristic vein.
3. Columbia's Glorious Girl. T. B. Bishop.
4. Won't You Be My Sweetheart I
H. C. Yerner.
5. Serenade.
W. C. E. Seeboeck.
0. The Little Game Called Kissing:.

3. Mr. T. Brigham Bishop pays an eloquent
and enthusiastic tribute to the American girl
in this song.
4. A refined and tender waltz song expressive
of schoolboy and schoolgirl love.
5. This is a work to be warmly praised. Mr.
Seeboeck has done himsell justice. The words
are full of beauty and the music is admirable.
6. A pretty waltz song after a familiar and
popular stage model.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
THE STERLING ORGAN has always taken the lead, and
the improvements made this year puts it far ahead of
all otheis. %WSend for Catalogue.

MUSIC IN KENTUCKY,
f\ Chatty tetter,
jj|> EPORTS of trade prosperity reach us from
o ^ various parts of the country. From
Glascow, Kentucky, comes the following chatty
letter, which will find interested readers :
"The music trade in this immediate vicinity
is very good for this season of the year. The
John T. Dennison Co., of this place, have done
splendid business this past spring ; in fact their
trade has been unusually good since February
last, both in pianos and organs. The Dennison
Co. also enjoy a good trade in small and large
automatic musical instruments. I returned
recently from the Western part of this State
where I spent some three weeks. During my
tour I visited quite a number of towns and
cities, and among other things I spent five days
in Bowling Green, where I mingled thoroughly
with the musical people.
"Here I had the pleasure of visiting Mr.
George A. Wallace, who is a wholesale and
retail dealer in pianos and organs. During my
visit to his music store I had the pleasure of
listening to some very fine selections performed
by two young ladies, Miss Annie Milan, of this
city, and Miss Lena Schnieder, of Hamilton,
Ohio. Miss Milan is a cultivated pianist of
the best type, and rendered some excellent
music, much to the delight of all present. Miss
Milan's even and soft, mellow notes make the
piano sound altogether different from any per-
former.
" I heard Miss Lena Schnieder also perform,
with very much pleasure. Miss Schnieder has
not only the sweetest voice I have ever heard,
but she is a remarkable performer on the piano.
She played and sang some fine selections with
fine effect. Miss Schnieder has been visiting
her many friends and relatives in Bowling
Green for the past three weeks. These people
would be delighted to have her come often to
play and sing for them, especially the young
society folks. I am informed Miss Schnieder
will visit Chicago and New York city soon.
Bowling Green is a great place for music, and
the dealers enjoy a good trade the year round.
The whole State is improving in culture every
year. More people are studying music than for-
merly, consequently more sales of instruments
than ever before, and more dealers than there
used to be.
" T h e writer will visit Chicago and New
York city in September, and on this occasion
will call in and see you. I hope to pick up
something for your valuable paper occasionally ;
will report every now and then to you. I wish
T H E MUSIC TRADE REVIEW and its editor every
success and a long life in which to enjoy it.
