, but once they have heard and ex-
amined it, it has not been hard to convince
them that it is an instrument which for
variety of effects and beauty of tone, stands
without an equal.
The growth of the y^olian in popularity
for the past three or four years has been
most encouraging. Musicians and digni-
taries in all parts of the world have, un-
solicited, paid tribute to its excellence.
It has won a place for itself in the musical
instrument field that is unique. First, by
the essential merits which it possesses;
secondly, by the intelligent and progressive
business policy of its makers, which has been
so dignified and convincing that it has
contributed in no small measure to the
present high position which this instru-
ment occupies in the esteem of the musical
public.
The forthcoming concert of the /Eolian
Co. is a noteworthy one, and we are certain
that there will be a large and appreciative
audience present on the occasion. To
Special /Eolian Concert.
DISTINGUISHED ARTISTS WILL INTERPRET AN
EXCELLENT
PROGRAM.
T
HE ^Eolian Co. will inaugurate the New
Year by another of these special grand
concerts which have done so much toward
bringing the ^Eolian to the notice of thou-
sands of cultured people in this city and vi-
cinity, resulting in an increased volume of
trade during the past twelve months. This
concert will take place at Mendelssohn Glee
Club Hall, Broadway and Fortieth street,
on the evening of Jan. 21st, and in addition
to the numbers set down for the /Eolian
pipe organ such distinguished artists as
Miss Lillian Blauvelt, soprano; M. Rivarde,
violinist; J. A. Galloway, basso; Mackenzie
Gordon, tenor, and Don F. Toledo, pianist,
will participate. The entire affair will be
under the direct management of Mr.
Vincent Toledo. The following will be the
program:

MISS BLAUVELT, MESSRS. GORDON, GALLOWAY,

We present with some pleasure counter-
feit presentments of the distinguished
artists. Miss Lillian Blauvelt is one of the
leading soprano soloists of this country,
while Rivarde commands an international
reputation as violinist; the same may be
said of Messrs. Galloway and Mackenzie
Gordon, while Mr. Toledo is a thorough
musician and pianist of rare charm.
The policy of the ^Eolian Co. to bring
the merits of the ^Eolian prominently to
notice through recitals is a praiseworthy
one. It has taken time and well-directed
effort to make the musical public thor-
oughly appreciate the special merits of the

The first movement is in C minor—an allegro moderato
broad, dienified and written in a scholarly fashion. I he
andante in K flat contains a charming theme, pastoral in
character and announced by the flute. The third move-
ment, a scherzo in six-eighth tone in G minor, gives us a
taste of Widor's skill in fugal writing. The theme is
sprightly and is thoroughly well developed. The last
movement is in C.

those who have not heard the yEolian prin-

be surprised and delighted at'its possibilities.
Southern Commercial Relations.
O
NE of the first fruits of the Atlanta
Exposition, from a commercial
standpoint, appears in the effort to organ-
ize a direct connection between the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and the commercial
bodies of Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexi-
co. A preliminary meeting was held De-
cember 10, and a mass meeting was called
for last Monday. "The idea is to establish
a commercial museum in Atlanta with a
prominent exhibition of the products of
those countries, which is believed will lead
to large returns. Museums of the products
of the manufacturers of Southern States
will also be established in the South and
Central American countries."
