fflHB funeral of the late Mr. E'nest Knabe
'•t* took place last Thursday in Baltimore.
Mr. Alfred Dolge and many prominent members
of the trade here have expressed general regret
that the short time elapsing between the an-
nouncement of Mr. Knabe's death and the
funeral prevented them from expressing, by their
presence, the regret which is universally felt at
the demise of such a highly esteemed and valu-
ed member of the trade.

house while abroad. He appointed Mr. C. C.
Bender, of Leyden, Holland, continental agent
for the Mason & Hamlin organs, and placed the
Mason & Hamlin pianos with the house of
Welters, in Hamburgh. He found a growing
demand for the products of the Mason & Ham-

for it forebodes a time, perhaps, when many of

TRADE REVIEW
transference of the popular Hal let &
Davis pianos from the W. W. Kimball
Company to the celebrated house of Lyon &
Healy, where they will hereafter be found on
sale, is one of the most important items of news
which comes to us from Chicago.
For the past thirty-six years the W. W. Kim-
ball Company have kept these instruments in the
front rank, competing at all times successfully
with the leading makes of the day, winning
their way into popularity among a large
clientele in the West. Owing to the growth in
appreciation of the musical qualities of the
Kimball pianos, and the desire of the W. W.
Kimball Company to devote more attention to
giving their instrument a place well deserved as
leader, they were compelled to relinquish the
Hallet & Davis pianos.
In the Hallet & Davis piano Lyon & Healy
have secured an instrument that cannot fail to
be a most important addition to the large line of
instruments handled by them. It goes to them
