"My Dear Mr. Conn:—A great army of cor-
nctists have long been indebted to you for sup-
plying them with the products of your unceasing,
thought and labor. Each particular instrument
brought out 'The New York Wonder' in all it&
own peculiar good points. We thought when you
brought out "The New York Wonder" in all its
beauty and grandeur, that you had reached t h e

model with entirely new lines and curves which,
promptly annihilates all of your efforts previ-
ous to this. What are we to think? This cor-

know how to write or what to say about it, so-
will simply say, as I have to each of your other
improvements, 'this cornet far surpasses all of
your cornets made prior to this.' It is a grand
instrument.

the way. Buyers have been in evidence, more
particularly from the South and West, and the
bills bought have certainly raised the spirits of
the sellers. Their visitors have been inclined to
increase rather than curtail their purchases, for
they advance the very good reason that condi-
tions in their respective sections warrant a stock-
ing up that means an active movement of goods
in the early fall. As a truth, much to the sur-
prise of the wholesalers, the buyers have come in

Louis one month, and while here will give daily
concerts, both in Festival Hall and in different
parts of the grounds. M. Pares is the conductor

lished, has sent the following strong letter to C.
