with the perfection of a good orchestra the
works of the great masters."
E. A. Tirindelli, Director Liceo Mar-

Fugue in G Minor and other similar mas-
terworks played on the yEolian."
Emil Paur:—"I believe the ^Eolian is
destined to become a most potent factor in
the cultivation of the musical taste of the
people of the world."
Jean De Reszke:—"The yEolian is so

can grasp the inspiration of the composer,

for interpreting the music with feeling
and sentiment.

Arthur Nikisch, who to-day is recognized
as one of the world's greatest living musi-
cians and a pianist of great eminence, has
joined with a host of other noted celebri-
ties in praise of the Mason & Hamlin
pianos, which he characterizes as "of the
first rank" and furthermore says "their
tone is broad and big and possessed of pure
musical quality; resonant, vigorous and
manly yet full of sympathy and capable of
a nicety of expression which is remarkable
for its delicate light and shade."
These words bear the imprint of sincer-
ty and are based upon a practical trial
and knowledge of the instruments when
residing in Boston as conductor of the
Symphony Orchestra of that city. This is
testimony of which the Mason & Hamlin
Co. can with all justice feel extremely
proud.
John Wanamaker was in Chicago last
week and consequently rumors are rife that
he is about to start a large department
store in that city. It is also said as a mat-
ter of course, that he will handle pianos.
Meanwhile is it not time enough to discuss
all these things when Wanamaker opens
that store?
