THE "SMALL GOODS" TRADE
J. Thibouville=Lamy & Co.
c.
ROSSMAN, road
representative for J.
Thibouville-Lamy & Co.,
this city, returned on Satur-
day last from a week's trip
to Boston, Mass, and Provi-
JT.L dence, R. T. He reports
satisfactory business. A magnificent dis-
play of violins, brass and reed instru-
ments direct from the European factories
of J. Thibouville-Lamy & Co., adorns
their imposing warerooms, 35 Great Jones
street, this city. The "general catalogue"
of this well-known firm and also their
"special catalogue" are now ready for the
trade and can be had on application.
F
Stratton's Sale.
HERE was some lively competition at
the auction sale of John F. Stratton's
stock and fixtures, which took place on Fri-
day and Monday last.
The violins
brought good prices; brass instruments,
hardly anything; accordeons, barely the
cost of reeds. Robert H. Benary, the well
known importer, was the only one reported
to have had combination on auction; he
claims to have bought $1,000 worth of
goods for $1.25, and set the boys up in great
style.
We understand that Mr. Stratton has re-
sumed business, and is still filling orders at
the old stand. It is reported that he will
shortly take an office on Broadway.
Among the firms represented were Hamil-
ton S. Gordon, Wm. Tonk & Bro., C. Mei-
sel, M. E. Schoening, Frank Scribner, all
of this city.
T
Regina Music Box Co.
THR ORCHESTRAL REGINA A GREAT SELLER
A COMPLETE ORCHESTRA IN ITSELF.
HE Orchestral Regina, one of the lat-
est styles manufactured by the Regina
Music Box Co., of Rahway, N. J., is much
in demand for hotels and public places, and
with the automaton attachment can be
made a source of considerable revenue.
This instrument is said to be the largest
music box made; its tonal qualities are re-
markably excellent and the musical possi-
bilities of the instrument are so great as to
suggest a complete orchestral combination.
The instrument has two steel combs with
172 tongues, tuned in chromatic scale,
embracing over seven octaves, the key can
be changed repeatedly, and any piece of
music can be faithfully rendered, with all
counter-melodies that would be given it if
played by a complete orchestra.
The metal tune sheets for this wonderful
instrument are large enough to render it
T
possible to play songs, dances, operatic airs,
and parts of overtures complete, without
having to cut out some of the finest move-
ments, as has always heretofore been neces-
sary in other boxes.
The movements of these boxes are power-
ful and massive, and cannot get out of
order.
As previously intimated, this box can be
had with automatic money-drop attachment,
playing only when a coin is dropped into
it, and in this way it is a continual source
of revenue to its owner, at the same time
furnishing delightful entertainment to its
hearers.
In doctors' and dentists' offices it makes
the patients' visits a pleasure.
In private families it furnishes entertain-
ment for everybody who appreciates high-
grade music beautifully rendered.
Musical people are surprised at the won-
derful brilliancy of tone and artistic effects
produced by this, the queen of all music
boxes. It must be heard to be fully appre-
ciated.
The high-grade workmanship and fine
tone that have always been a feature of the
Regina music boxes have been improved in
this instrument, the manufacturers having
made this their masterpiece.
Recent Symphonion Husic.
HE following, among other numbers,
have recently been issued for the
Symphonion, for which \V. R. Gratz & Co.,
this city, are sole agents.

The Conn Conservatory of Husic.
HE winter term of the Conn Conserva-
tory of Music, Elkhart, Ind., will be-
gin on Jan. 15th, 1897, and terminate April
15th. The Conservatory is now firmly
established with a competent corps of in-
structors, each of whom will aim to make
every graduating student a permanent ad-
vertisement for the excellent method of in-
struction which has been adopted.
The regular cost of tuition for the term
of thirteen weeks—two lessons each week
—under the celebrated Jules Levy, the
world renowned cornetist, and E. A. Lefe-
bre, the great saxaphonist, is $60, payable
in advance.
A donation of $10 will be made to pros-
pective students who decide to enroll their
names for the winter course under either
of the two masters just referred to. The
balance of the tuition, $50, must be paid
when the lessons are assigned.
Among the other instructors at the Con-
servatory for the winter term are: H. A.
Davis, flute virtuoso; Henry Geiss, clario-
netist; Fredrik Ingersoll, violinist; Mme.
S. Costa Levy, vocalist; Jas. F. Boyer,
piano, harmony and orchestration ; Frederic
Nelson, piano, and Miss Lucile Magnus,
zither.
