THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
lower part of the Ethnology Building were
a pretty badly scared lot. However, some
excellent records were made, much to the
gratification of Dr. Benedict and to the sur-
prise, when they heard them, of the Indians,
who had been shouting themselves hoarse and
dancing in a way that awoke the echoes.

BIG PACKARD ORDER FKOM EUROPE.
Among recent orders received by the Pack-
ard Co., from European representatives, was
one for 272 Packard organs from E. Hirsch
& Co., of London, Eng., to be delivered in
consignments of sixty. The Packard has
long had a strong position in Great Britain
and other European centers and the output
to these points seems to be steadily increas-
ing—a tribute indeed to Packard values that
cannot easily be overlooked by dealers in this
country.

SECURE A VALUABLE VIOLIN.
The museum at Bergen, the native place
of the celebrated violinist, Ole Bull, has just,
thanks to the generosity of Bull's widow,
come into the possession of one of the oldest
violins in existence. It is said to be the work
of Gaspero di Salo, with rich ornamentation
attributed to Benvenuto Cellini, and it is al-
leged to bear the date 1532.
It was bought for 3,000 ducats by Cardinal
Aldobrandini, and was presented to the mu-
seum at Innspruch, whence it was looted by
a soldier, and was sold to a Viennese banker
named Rehaczek, a collector. In 1830 Ole
Bull begged the banker to let him try the
instrument, and afterwards he offered a large
sum for it, but was refused.
Some years later, however, while he was in
conversation with Liszt and Mendelssohn,
Bull received a letter from the son of the
banker, announcing that his father had died
and had bequeathed the precious violin to the
eminent performer.
Thenceforward it ac-
companied Ole Bull in all his tours on the
Continent and in this country.
