VANDERBILT MUSIC MACHINE
Is Training Horses at Oakland Farm for New
York Show.
Alfred Vanderbilt is teaching his show horses
to become accustomed to music. He has just
installed at his Oakland Farm training ring a
big music machine, which is run by an electric
motor. All the latest brass band music has been
purchased, and is ground out by the machine
with such force that although it Is stationed in
the ring it can be heard out on the west main
road.
The object is to accustom the horses to brass
band music, that they will know how to act
when they get to Madison Square Garden for the
National show in November.

NATIONAL SHIPPERS* ASSOCIATION
Is Growing Rapidly in Membership—The Aims
and Purposes of the Organization Explained
by W. L. Bush Who Is Treasurer.
(Special to The Review.)
Review Office, 195 Wabash avenue,
Chicago, 111., Oct. 10, 1906.
The National Shippers' Association of Amer-
ica, of which W. L. Bush, of the Bush & Gerts
Piano Co., is treasurer, is growing rapidly in
membership and will soon have attained a mag-
nitude that will enable the association to wield
a tremendous power and influence with the rail-
roads. The aims and purposes of this organiza-
tion have not been gone into at any great length,
as Mr. Bush explained yesterday to the repre-
sentative of this paper that the influence and
value of the organization to shippers all over
the country depended upon a large membership,
while the initiation fee of only $10 and $10 an-
nual dues enabled every shipper, large or small,
to enjoy the full benefits to be finally derived
from membership in this organization, the forma-
tion of which was inspired by the attention of
business men all over the country to the gen-
eral agitation of railroad rates, arbitrary rules,
discriminatory tariffs, special rebates, difficulties
in the collection of claims, all of which matters
have been touched upon in the public press in
the Congressional reports, attending the prepara-
tion and discussion of the rate bill as well as
in the various investigations of trusts that has
revealed much in the nature of facts that were
always suspected but never so clearly proven and
demonstrated as in the aforesaid investigations.
It is high time that the shippers of the coun-
try have some organization that will welcome
into its ranks every shipper of merchandise In
the United States, and it is especially gratifying
that the membership is rapidly increasing as
the knowledge of the purposes of the association
is disseminated through circulars that have been
widely distributed from the main offices, which
occupy a suite on the fifth floor of the Marquette
building, Chicago.
Several of the piano manufacturers have joined
the association and others will do so when they
become more familiar with the objects of the
association.

TEMPLEMAN WAREROOMS RENOVATED.
F. J. Bayley, who handles Boardman & Gray
and Kohler & Campbell pianos in Detroit, Mich.,

the Pellowcraft Building, which is now being
decorated. Mr. Bayley hag been in business for
two years, and his success he lays to good ad-
vertising.
The J. H. Templeman Co., of 722 Market
street, Chattanooga, Tenn., have had their ware-
rooms entirely renovated. New steel ceilings
were put up, decorations renewed and new prism
glass fronts put in both first and second stories.
A special room has been arranged for exhibiting
talking machines, and, taken all in all, the Tem-
pleman Co. now have one of the finest music
stores in thf city.
Baker & Smith, who recently opened a music
store at 117 South Wilmington street, Raleigh/
N. C, are handling an excellent line of instru-
ments, including Starr, Chase Bros., Hackley"
and Carlisle pianos and Carpenter and High
Point organs. Other makes, including player
pianos, will shortly be added. The new firm are
doing an excellent trade and there seems to be
a bright future ahead for them,
