THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Chickering Piano in Paris,
Sale of Haines Bros.' Effects.
A REPRODUCTION OF A CIRCULAR ANNOUNCEMENT ISSUED BY F. M. CAI.AFAT, THE CHICKKK-
ING REPRESENTATIVE IN THE FRENCH CAPITAL WHICH SETS FORTH BRIEFLY BUT
EMPHATICALLY THE STRONG POINTS OF THIS REPRESENTATIVE AMERICAN
INSTRUMENT OF INTEREST TO THE TRADE INASMUCH AS IT
SHOWS HOW THEY LJO THINGS IN PARIS.
j,
The following announcement issued by
F. M. Calafat, the representative of
Messrs. Chickering & Sons in Paris, is
interesting, showing how this famous
American instrument is introduced and
made known to artistic circles in the
French capital. The announcement as it
appears is almost an exact fac-simile both
in type as well as in size.
The house of M. Calafat is one of the
best known and most enterprising estab-
lishments in Paris, and every effective
II
means is being taken to make more widely
known the special merits of the 1898
Chickerings.
Of course the Chickering piano is not a
stranger in Paris, for it was there it
achieved its greatest triumph, and it is
only natural that the honors received then
should now be followed by no small meas-
ure of appreciation. Already there are
abundant indications that the French
agency established by Chickering & Sons
will prove in every respect adistinct success.

fir. Davenport's Good Fortune.
The much discussed and long fought
out will of " Sir " Richard Tighe was ad-
mitted to probate by Surrogate Fitzgerald
last Tuesday. Mr. Tighe was an eccen-
tric character who lived for half a century
at 32 Union square. He was always poor-
ly dressed and considered very poor, and
much surprise was manifested when at his
death the value of his estate was found to
be worth $2,000,000. He belonged to an
aristocratic Irish family.
Among the
beneficiaries of his will just probated are
the family of John Davenport, of Daven-
port & Treacy, Stamford, Conn., who will
receive as their share $160,000 or over.

Music Trade Review:
We look forward with much pleasure to
the coming of The Music Trade Review.
We think it is a great paper, and get more
valuable information out of its pages than
all other musical publications combined.
In fact, we feel as though we could not do
without it. Let the good work go on.
We are selling the "Starr" and "Rich-
mond" pianos in this territory, and busi-
ness is improving rapidly.
Yours very truly,
J. N. Schwartz Piano Co.
More Space Required.
Only 150,000 square feet have been al-
lotted to the United States by the officials
in charge of the Paris Exposition, while
the applications show that 500,000 square
feet would be none too much. Commis-
sioner Peck, it is understood, will go to
Paris early in September, with the view of
securing the latter space instead of that
assigned. That an increase is needed is
shown by the fact that among the applica-
tions thus far received ten electrical com-
panies have asked for more than 75,000
square feet, or more than half the avail-
able space. An agricultural company have
also asked for more than half the space
allotted.
A magnificent demonstration of the
splendid work which the Kimball Co. are
turning out in their pipe organ depart-
ment is now to be seen at the Jewish
Synagogue in Washington, D. C. This is
a four manual instrument which will soon
be formally "christened." It is being
erected under the superintendence of F.
W. Hedgeland.
