THE
AFTER PIRATED MUSIC IN CANADA.
[Special to The Review.]
Winnipeg;, Man., May 17, 1902.
John Hanna, manager of the Anglo-Can-
adian Music Publishers' Association of To-
ronto, is in Winnipeg at present on a mis-
sion that is of interest to all who have at
all studied the laws of copyright. The firm
which Mr. Hanna represents publish and
hold the copyright of about seventy-
five per cent, of the classical and high
class music both instrumental and vocal in
use in Canada to-day.
A great many pirated editions of songs
for which they hold the Canadian copyrights
are in use in Canada now. These as a rule
are published in the United States and are
imported into this country.
By the laws of Canada it is an offence
to sell a pirated edition. Mr. Hanna has in
the interests of the firm taken a trip to the
toast. He found many illegal editions of
songs and music on sale. He said, however,
that the places where the sale of pirated
editions were most frequent were all
west of Winnipeg. Very little uncopyright-
ed music is sold in the city. In nearly all
cases Mr. Hanna arranged an amicable set-
tlement with the firms who were selling the
illegal American copies, and as a rule he
had but to point out where the error was,
and the seller would refuse to sell any more.
Mr. Hanna leaves to-day for his home in
Toronto. He is much interested in the West,
as this is his first trip across the continent.
P. J. GILDEMEESTER RETURNS.
After a long trip which P. J. Gildemeester
Uxj>k to visit most of the Knabe agents in
America, he returned via Baltimore, which
took in the convention besides. Mr. Gilde-
loeester had a most interesting trip, and re-
ports things as glowing for the Knabe piano.
In the West he found Kohler & Chase more
active than ever, which is evident through
the very large order of pianos which he re-
ceived from them. This establishment has
been vastly benefited by the acquisition of J.
H. Brenner and Mr. Gay, formerly of Los
Angeles. Mr. Chase is well and hearty and
enthusiastic over business. In Portland, Ore.,
Mr. Gilbert, of Allen & Gilbert, has his hand
on the rudder of the ship which Wiley B.
Allen left so beautifully launched, and it is
needless to say that here the Knabe piano is
in full swing, where it has won friends every-
where. In Salt Lake City, Daynes & Co.
had just received their first shipment of
Knabes, and from the outlook Mr. Daynes
was much encouraged. Man}' of the Knabe
dealers were in Baltimore, and of them Mr.
(iildemeester spoke as delighted with every-
thing in connection with the piano and its
surroundings. Mr. Gildemeester, since his re-
turn, has been confined to his home with a
severe cold.
Theodore Pfafflin, in addition to enjoying
the convention amusements, spent Saturday
and Sunday with his daughter and Mrs.
Pfafflin at the former's home, Which is a
couple of hours from Baltimore. Mr. Pfaff-
lin was on deck again on Monday, and ever
since has been entertaining the large num-
ber of visiting dealers with the charms and
advantages of the Apollo.

WHITE MAY BUILD NEW FACTORY,
[Special to The Review.]
Brockton, Mass., May 19, 1902.
The D. M. White Piano Co. has under
contemplation plans for the erection of a
new factory in this city. The company is at
present occupying the old brick factory on
Crescent street at the corner of Perkins
street.
Treasurer Allen, of the company, said to-
day that the company had plans in the air,
but they were not definitely enough deter-
mined on to make any statement. A meet-
ing of the directors was to have been held
this afternoon to discuss the matter, but will
probably be held to-morrow instead.
