York—Meeting Soon to Organize.
The New York Association of Music Publish-
ers expect to hold another meeting for the pur-
pose of effecting a permanent organization at a
very early date. The members of this association
are displaying a great deal of enthusiasm and
optimism regarding its future. There can be no
question but numerous evils have developed in
the business for want of a mutual understanding,
or, in other words, an exchange of views. Up to
the recent preliminary meetings many publish-
ers did not know how badly they were being
treated by so-called professional singers and oth-
ers, who have been bleeding them unscrupulous-
ly. Through concerted action and a loyal adher-
ence to the association on the part of every mem-
ber these evils can be successfully eradicated.

Chicago, 111., July 24, 1905.
A. C. Woodyatt, the well-known piano and
music dealer of Moline, 111., and the leader of the
opera house orchestra in that city, is the com-
poser of a popular march tor brass bands en-
titled the "Flying Dutchman." It has had quite
a sale in Chicago for a year past, and J. P. Byrne
recently induced the composer to rearrange it
for the piano. This has been done, and it is now
published by Lyon & Healy in the new form and
bears the author's dedication to J. P. Byrne.
This is where the fun comes in, and the popular
secretary of Lyon & Healy chuckles whenever he
thinks of the coupling of a Teutonic title with
that of so bred-in-the-bone an Hibernian as he
admits himself to be.
