ities of his wares not far from the corner of
Betlemitas and San Francisco streets. The
change of his tipper lip into ' terreno
baldio ' made it necessary for him yester-
day to be introduced to some of his most
intimate acquaintances, so much was he
changed by the loss of his hirsute adorn-
ment. "

C. CARL, the eminent concert or-
V * • ganist, has fixed the dates for his
annual free organ concerts at the "Old
First" Presbyterian Church, Fifth avenue
and Twelfth street. They are on the Friday
afternoons of Nov. 4, 11, 18, 25 and Dec. 2.

played several numbers in his usual
masterly style, charming the cultured
assemblage who were present.

A QUIET smile which denoted complac-
**- ency and happiness hovered about the
face of A. Clifford Cox as he walked into
Steinway Hall last Wednesday morning. It
was with added dignity that he opened
his desk and scanned his morning mail.
The secret came out later and Mr. Cox is
now receiving congratulations from his
numerous friends. It is a charming young
miss who is healthful and happy over her
new surroundings.

Adolpho H. Fischer, of J. & C. Fischer,
has returned from a successful business
tour. Answering a query from The Re-
view on Thursday, Mr. Fischer said that
throughout his trip he found numerous
evidences of prosperity. Fischer repre-
sentatives visited had excellent reports to
make.
The members of the trade, one and all,
are pleased that election is over and that
business can now proceed untrammeled by
the silver agitation for many years to
come.
This week's report as to the progress of
the Popular Pease Piano is highly satis-
factory. The head of the firm, replying
to the usual query as to trade conditions,
said that "trade at present is good, and
the outlook pleasant."
Chas. Becht, the Steger and Singer road
ambassador is a musician of no mean at-
tainments. He is a possessor of a violin
on which he took lessons which is said to
be valued at $2,000.
Stultz & Bauer business is reported as
being in a very satisfactory condition.
Styles $y 2 and 7 of 1898, previously re-
ferred to in The Review, are leading. Mr.
Golden starts on the road again next week.
At the Krakauer retail warerooms, An-
drew H. Mangold reports business very
good during the past month, with bright
prospects for November.
Business at the Mehlin warerooms is
very brisk.
The new Mehlin Colonial
Grand and Uprights are in good demand.
The entire remaining stock belonging to
the Estey & Camp corporation of Chicago,
has been purchased by the W. W. Kimball
Co.
Weser pianos are being made and
shipped with precision and dispatch..
There never seems to be any lull in busi-
ness at the Weser establishment. Visitors
are seen continually when The Review
calls for news. Many of them are pur-
chasing.
The Gibson Piano Co.'s report for the
present week is in keeping with those pre-
viously made during the past month.
Orders are plentiful and the factory force
is working at all hours to keep pace with
the demand.
The Estey Organ Co., have, through
their agents, Bailey's Music Rooms, Bur-
lington, Vt., presented to the Home for
Destitute Children a handsome organ.
There is now, as always, healthy activity
at the Jacob factory.
This week's report
announces wholesale and retail branches
as doing well. The Jacob Bros.' products
of 1898 have proved to be attractive and
quick selling.
A critical operation was performed re-
cently on Walter Dakin, a piano tuner of
Cincinnati, ()., which resulted in the ex-
traction of a needle which has been travel-
ing through his body for over thirty years.
Hamilton S. Gordon's "American Band"
harmonica is selling well. Youthful and
other harmonica adepts declare it to be a
"dandy."
C. F. Goepel, of C. F. Goepel & Co., has
been visiting the Western trade with great
success.
