THE JULIUS BAUER & CO. NEW BABY GRAND
The upright pianos made by Julius Bauer
& Co., Chicago, have-worthily won a high
measure of esteem by virtue of their supe-
rior tone qualities and construction. The
baby grand herewith illustrated may be said
to further exemplify the advance made by
this house as makers of pianos which are
steadily winning praise from those compe-
tent to judge in the matter of piano construc-
tion and tone.
The Bauer baby grand, estimated from the
viewpoint of design, of construction, of
scale, of responsiveness of action—every at-
tribute necessary to satisfy—is destined to
command a much wider recognition than it
even now enjoys. This instrument is made
in oak, mahogany or other woods to order.
The legs, lyre and trimmings are of solid
natural woods, and the carving is all hand-

EDNA ORQAN & PIANO CO.,
F. J. Schwankovsky has, during the past
week, been celebrating the fifty-seventh an-
niversary of the establishment of his house
in Detroit, Mich., by the inauguration of a
''great anniversary sale of artistic pianos
and all kinds of musical goods." A feature
of the occasion was concerts every afternoon
and evening. On Monday afternoon, Oct.
14th, there was a concert by the Angelus
Orchestral, assisted by Samuel I. Slade,
basso; Monday evening, a concert by the
Detroit School of Music, with Carl Butel
at the piano. Tuesday afternoon a new
Apollo grand recital, assisted by William
Yunck, violin, and Michael Lambert, 'cello;
Tuesday evening, Miss Florence A. Smith
and Miss A. Preston presided at the piano,
while Marshall Pease and Edward Gareissen
assisted. Wednesday afternoon, concert by
the Angelus Orchestral, assisted by Alfred
Hofman, 'cello; Wednesday evening, piano
duets and solos by the Misses Skinner, Stone,
Kauffman, assisted by Miss Jacobs. Thurs-
day afternoon, a new Apollo grand recital,
assisted by Edward Gareissen, violin; Thurs-
day evening, Miss Apel at the piano, assisted
by Miss Andre. Friday afternoon, new Apol-
lo recital, assisted by Miss Florence M. Wool-
fender, mandolin; Friday evening, the mem-
bers of the Hanmer School of Music in a
varied program. Saturday afternoon, con-
cert by Angelus Orchestral, assisted by S.
I. Slade, basso; Saturday evening the Misses
L. Carpenter, King, Turnbull and Richard-
son at the piano, assisted by Miss Brownell.
At all these concerts and recitals the Knabe
and Vose pianos were used. It is worthy
of note in connection with this mat-
ter to remark that Mr. Schwankovsky
claims to have sold $8,500,000 worth of
Vose pianos in his locality. The cele-
bration of the fifth-seventh anniversary was
characteristic of Mr. Schwankovsky, and
was broadly planned both musically and com-
mercially. Handsomely engraved cards of
invitation were sent out to the people of
Detroit, and the warerooms were handsomely
decorated; in fact, nothing was spared to
make the affair a success.

carved. The entire rim, or sides, is built
up of eleven continuous layers of quarter-

around a form, without a joint, making the
firmest possible case, with the most resonant
quality obtainable. The Bauer patent fall-
board is used, with continuous hinges on top
and fall.
