Granville, N. Y., May 17, 1905.
The case of the Fred L. Hall Piano Co. against
H. B. Finch, to recover a stock of pianos sold
to the defendant by former secretary of the
company Clark, came up in the Supreme Court
for trial yesterday at Salem. The attorney for
the Hall company desired to have the case post-
poned because the company was in the hands of
a receiver in Boston. The attorney for the de-
fendant objected to the motion and the court
sustained the objection and ordered the trial to
proceed, charging the Hall company with bad
faith in bringing the action. The plaintiff was
unable to comply with the order of the court and
the case was promptly dismissed with costs. Mr.
Clark, former secretary of the Hall company, and
who sold and delivered the pianos to defendant,
was present at the trial in behalf of defendant
Finch.

Cable Recital Hall and the handsome new ware-
rooms of the Cable Company have been formally
opened to the public the past week, with a series
of concerts and receptions, which have proved
successful in spite of the disagreeable weather and
strike conditions. The real opening of Cable Re-
cital Hall occurred last Wednesday evening. It
was a promenade concert, and prior to the pro-
gramme the guests were escorted through the
beautiful warerooms with their magnificent dis-
plays of pianos.
