THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
£E have received information from the
Jewett Piano Co., Leominster, Mass.,
that Mr. W. H. Jewett, who, in i860, founded
the business that is at present controlled by the
Jewett Piano Co., is lying seriously ill at the
Burbank Hospital, Fitchburg, Mass., and is not
expected to recover.
if the proper steps are taken toward placing the
matter on a business-like basis, the movement is
certain to become a popular success financially
Mr. Gilmore has a host of admirers throughout
the United States, who will be only too pleased
to do their share toward honoring his memory
in the very commendable way suggested.

Gw> warerooms in this city to realize that the
seashore, the lakes, and the mountains are
losing their ardent admirers, and that the wan-
derers are at their old posts refreshed and invig-
orated for the brisk campaign which we are

is satisfactory to note that Hardnian, Peck
& Co. are experiencing a forerunner of
that improvement in business which will soon
be universal, owing to the absence of tariff un-
certainty. In their wholesale trade, which is
distributed over a large area of this country, this
improvement is made manifest in a very sub-
stantial and satisfactory manner, by the num-
ber of orders which they are receiving for the old
and reputable Hard man piano. Hardman, Peck
& Co. do not expect a sudden revival of business,
but they are reasonably certain that the fall
trade will be an unusually good one. They are
extremely pleased that tariff legislation is
ended, and that the outlook for the Hardman
piano is so bright in all sections of the country.

Prescott Piano Co., Concord, N. H.,
will soon place a new style piano on the
market. It will be four feet nine inches in
height and a larger instrument than any hereto-
fore made. The Prescott Piano Co. are of the
opinion that it is going to be a great, popular
success. In tone and appearance it stands in
the front rank of Prescott pianos.
TELEGRAM informs us that a Belgian
officer of the Chicago Fair is now at the
capitol of Mexico trying to revive the project for
a world's exhibition at that point, to be opened
in the Fall of 1895. His plan is to transfer to
Mexico the contents of the Antwerp exhibition
now in progress. The present Antwerp fair is,
as we know, far from adequate in either its En-
glish or its American departments, and both at
a Mexican exhibition will doubtless be vastly
bettered. Indeed, the project ought to be feas-
