Henry F. Miller piano shared the
honors with Carl Stasny, the eminent
virtuose, at a symphony concert on July 25th,
which was given under the direction of Theo-
dore Thomas. In the Hungarian rhapsody, it
responded to every lightest wish of the per-
former, said the Inter-Ocean. The exhibit of
Miller pianos, in the southeast corner of the
Lriberal Arts Building, is attracting much favor-
able comment, according to the same source.
fjj|T has been remarked by several of the
<$w Chicago papers that one of the most won-
derful inventions on exhibition in Liberal Arts
Building, section I, is the Phelps Harmony at-
tachment in the Malcolm Love pianos. It is a
pedal arrangement which reduces the possi-
bility of discord, as each key of the piano when
struck silences any other key with which it
does not harmonize. It purifies the tone and
produces a wonderful legato effect.
CONTEMPORARY states that the pianos
which have been made by the many firms
exhibiting at the Fair, would, if placed end to
end, extend around the world.

MULNEAUX, the French pianist,
gives a musical recital on the Sohmer on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, at the
New York and New Jersey Buildings, and in the

Sohmer & Co. are wise in thus attracting the
attention of the ladies. That's the point.

server of the big exhibit in the Liberal Arts
lines, constructed by first-class workmen, and
made of the best material obtainable. The
manufacturers of such an instrument deserve to
prosper, and it is accordingly a grateful task to
be able to give the following extract from a
communication received from J. N. Merrill this
week. "We are pushing along and running
full time and am happy to say, are doing a nice
little business. Orders are coming in very well
indeed." Meantime, outside of the Merrill
factory there is ample evidence of the way in
which the Merrill piano is fast building up a
strong following.
A. B. CHASE PIANO COMPANY, of
Norwalk, Ohio, whose main exhibit is in
section I, block TJ, Liberal Arts Building, are
gratuitously giving to the public musicales in
fifteen or eighteen of the State buildings where
their pianos are located, says the Chicago
Inter-Ocean of July 26th. One of the most at-
tractive features of their entertainments is the
playing of George Eugene Eager, director of the
Lake Forest University, and his tiny 5 year old
pupil, Master Rubinstein Demarest. The next
musical treat by this company will be given in
the Assembly Room of the Ohio State Building
on Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday of last
week a reception was given to Hon. John G.
Carlisle and Mrs. Carlisle at the Assembly Hall
of the Woman's Building, which numbered
among its delightful features a recital on the
A. B. Chase piano.
