PARTY RATEJICKETS
Cannot be Limited to Particular Classes of
Persons According to a Decision.
(Special to The Kevlew.)
Washington, D. C, April 23, 1907.
The Interstate Commerce Commission to-day
announced a far-reaching decision entitled "In
the matter of party rate tickets." The decision
was rendered by Commissioner Prouty, and holds
that party rate tickets cannot be limited to par-
ticular classes of persons, but must be opened to
the general public.
On September 29, 1906, the commission, in re-
sponse to numerous inquiries, expressed the
opinion that party rate tickets could not be lim-
ited to particular classes, but must be open to
the whole public alike. From this conclusion
there was emphatic dissent upon the part of
many carriers, and the commission was requested
,to hear argument with a view to reconsidering
its opinion. This request was granted, and the
matter was fully argued at Washington on De-
cember 11 3 1906. The commission found no rea-
son in what was then said to reconsider its pre-
vious decision, but no public announcement to
this effect was made.

(Special to The Review.)
Houston, Tex., April 20, 1907.
The advertising of Thomas Goggan & Bros, and
the editorial comments by the local papers have
attracted no little attention the past ten days.
Under the caption, "Big Piano Deal," the Chroni-
cle, of this city, says:
"Heretofore we have looked to the large cen-
ters of the North and East for big accomplish-
ments, but Texas has its quota of men of brawn
and brain who have been 'doing things' them-
selves. Witness the creative genius that has
been evidenced by the tremendous work of up-
building that has been going on all over the
State, embracing everything that makes for the
advancement of the interest for the individual
in particular, to the betterment of the communi-
ties and the State in general—from creating and
constructing a sky-scraper or a railroad to the
.conception, execution and production of mam-
moth editions of newspapers.
"In the mercantile world the purchase and sale
of a half a million dollars' worth of merchandise
within a limit of ten days would also be an im-
mense undertaking. What, then, must be the
magnitude of a deal involving the purchase and
sale of 1,000 pianos, high priced articles of lux-
ury, worth nearly half a million dollars? This

colossal commercial feat has been announced by
the big Texas piano house, Thomas Goggan &
Bros., in the various newspapers.
"It seems that some three months ago their
buyer found an opportunity to secure 1,000 pianos
at practically his own price from manufacturers.
The Goggan house had the cash, result: the big-
gest deal in the life of the buyer.
"The enormous amount of labor and care re-
quired to select and ship these pianos may be
appreciated from the fact that it has taken since
the early part of January to simply select and
ship these 1,000 pianos. To transport these pianos
to the seven stores of Thomas Goggan & Bros,
in Texas, located at Galveston-, Dallas, San An-
tonio, Houston, Austin, Waco and El Paso, two
entire trainloads—64 cars—were required.
"The advertisements state that these pianos
will be sold in ten days, and to accomplish this
result in such an extremely short time the public
can appreciate what a tremendous force leverage
must be used in the shape of low price and high
quality. When it is considered that the purchase
and sale of ljOOO pianos in a year is a very big
business for a very large house, the magnitude
of this big deal of Thomas Goggan & Bros, will
be understood, and the layman can appreciate
what a tremendous price concession must have
been obtained Dy Thomas Goggan & Bros, from
the manufacturers from whom they purchased
these goods."

Syracuse, N. Y., April 20, 1907.
George W. Clark, the well-known piano dealer
of this city, has just received a very interesting
letter from Miss A. Kathleen King regarding the
recent recital given here by Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
when he played a superb Mason & Hamlin piano.
Miss King is the chairman of the music commit-
tee of the Morning Musical Association, which is
one of the largest musical organizations in this
city. She is also considered among the ablest
of the local musical critics, and her letter, which
te as follows, is highly prized:
My Dear Mr. Clark—It having been through
your broad-mindedness a treat of such rare ex-
cellence as the concert by Mr. Gabrilowitsch was
given us on Wednesday evening, let me thank
you, not only personally, but in the names of all
who are brought into closest relationship with
the art of music for having given us this oppor-
tunity. Such enthusiasm as he aroused was al-
most unprecedented. It came not alone from his
superb technic, for there had been great tech-
nicians before him. but above all from his broad
interpretative powers and his depth of poetic
feeling.
"Under his hands the instrument became a liV'
ing voice and expanding as such from the most
delicate cantabile passages to those superb mas-
terful climaxes. What an admirable piano he
had! Again, expressing to you the keen pleas-
ure we felt with gratitude for your enterprises.
Yours sincerely,
A. KATHLEEN KING.
KRAKAUER BROS. PUBLICITY.
Krakauer Bros., of 1315th street and Cypress
avenue, have just issued a most attractive catalog
exploiting their new player-piano, and it is safe
to predict the little volume will surely bring sat-
isfactory returns. The catalog is illustrated with
halftone cuts; also contains data covering design,
construction and finish of the instrument^ that
will prove most valuable to dealers and buyers.
