Relating to the flusic Trade Convention.
Everything Points to a Gathering of Unusual Interest—Outsiders may Secure Banquet Tick-
ets by Making Application Now—Toasts of the Speakers — Some of the flen who Will
be There,
"Looking backward over the history of
Association affairs," remarked Adolplio H.
Fischer, "I feel that even our critics must
acknowledge that we have accomplished
considerable, and I believe every member of
the Association feels a certain confidence
that greater results will be won this year
than ever before. Of course we do not ex-
pect to revolutionize existing conditions, but
steadily we are accomplishing trade better-
ments which are apparent to those who are
acquainted with the Association work. We
should like to see all manufacturers take part
in our work, because it is manifestly for the
good of all, and I believe if those who have
remained on the outside were present at some
of our meetings and see the steady advance
which we are making they would at once be
impressed with the seriousness of our work.
We believe that the meeting next week will
be a success in every way, and will demon-
strate more emphatically than ever before the
necessity of such an organization as ours."

Preparations are going steadily on for the
big Music Trade Convention, which occurs
in this city next week. . All the members
who have the arrangements in charge are
laboring indefatigably to bring about the
best results. It is assured that the first
Music Trade Convention of the new cen-
tury will be the most notable in many re-
spects of any that has ever occurred. It is
the first time that the dealers have ever been
asked to participate, and much interesting
discussion will probably be the outcome.
Robert C. Kammerer, than whom no man
is better fitted for banquet arrangements, is
overlooking nothing in the way of novel-
ties to make his part of the program most
effective and enjoyable. It should be un-
derstood that the official headquarters will
be at the Hoffman House, and not at the
Victoria, as has been announced by another
publication. Local members of the trade
can secure banquet tickets by application to
Robert C. Kammerer. Of course, the seat-
ing capacity is limited, and those who are
not members of the Association and who
desire to attend the banquet should lose no
time in making application for tickets.

.The following are the subjects which will
be discussed by the various speakers at the
banquet on Wednesday evening:
Mr. John R. Van Wormer,
"The Advantages of Organization."
Hon. Frank J. Kilpatrick,
"A Voice from the South."
Mr. Constantin von Sternberg,
"Stories on the Piano."
Mr. W. J. Henderson,
"Music and the Piano."
Mr. William H. McElroy,
"Music as a Practical Force."
Several members of the trade will follow
with informal addresses.
Phonograph Infringement Suit.
[Special to The Review.]
Trenton, N. J., May 8, 1901.
Two separate suits have been begun in
the United States Circuit Court by the Na-
tional Phonograph Co., of Orange, against
Herbert B. Butterworth, of Newark.
The complainant alleges that Butterworth
has infringed upon improvements in phono-
graph recorders and reproductions patented
by Thomas A. Edison. An injunction, ac-
counting and damages are asked for.
Hason & liamlin Points.
The Mason & Hamlin pianos are now be-
ing handled by Thomas Goggan & Bro. in
their various branches throughout the South,
by S. W. Raudenbush & Co. in St. Paul, and
C. C. Mellor Co., Ltd., in Pittsburg.
These representative houses are only a
few of the many prominent firms who have
recently secured the Mason & Hamlin
agency. They, in common with all others,
recognize the artistic worth of the Mason
& Hamlin pianos, which have come to the
front with rapid strides within a compar-
atively recent period.
In the home, as on the concert platform,
they have demonstrated their worth. This
is apparent from the high character of pur-
chasers in all sections of the United States,
as well as by the high appreciative notices
of the superb concert grand which was
played by Harold Bauer during the season
just closed. Any dealer who is looking
for a truly artistic piano which he can rec-
ommend to discriminating and appreciative
customers, would do well to critically ex-
amine the Mason & Hamlin before coming
to definite conclusions.
Fires!
A fire on the third floor of the Marshall
& Wendell factory, Albany, Monday, and
which at one time seemed serious, was got
under control by the Fire Department with
but very slight damage.

A heap of shavings in the piano case fac-
tory of Phelps & Lydden, Rochester, N. Y.,
caused a fire this week which was extin-
guished practically without loss.
W. B. Wilson, Eastern traveling represen-
tative of the Krell Piano Co., was recently
within our gates.
F. G. Smith, Jr., the well-known Bradbury
man of Brooklyn, is serving on the Grand
Tury this week.
Peder Olsen, Perth Amboy. and W. H.
Pine, Asbury Park, called at the Mason &
Hamlin warerooms this week and left orders.
