me have most eloquently covered every subject,
so surely there is nothing for me to say. How-
ever, I will propose a toast to Messrs. Engelhardt
& Sons. I trust that they may always enjoy good
health, for in the enjoyment of good health the
continued success and further development of
this business is assured." The toast was drunk
standing. Mr. Gittins then asked: "What's the
matter with the Engelhardts?" The answer
came back: "They're all right! Who's all right?
The Engelhardts." Three rousing cheers and a
tiger were then given.
There were a number of other speakers, in-
cluding editors, visiting manufacturers and
trade press representatives, scheduled to address
the assemblage, but it was necessary to cut the
program to allow the guests time to prepare for
the evening's festivities.

The Reception and Dance.
The reception and dance in the evening was
one of the most brilliant held in that section for
years. Fully 1,000 people attended. The list of
guests included all the city officials, merchants,
heads of the several departments at the factories,
employes and hundreds of friends from New
York, Utica, Herkimer, Fort Plain, Palatine
Bridge, Amsterdam and Fonda.

The Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat last week
published a very interesting story regarding the
preparations for the musical festival to be held
in that city next May by the Little Rock Music
Festival Society, of which Col. F. B. T. Hollen-
berg, the prominent piano dealer of Little Rock,
was recently elected president. The story read
in part, as follows:
"One of the most gratified men in Arkansas
to-day is Col. F. B. T. Hollenberg, the recently
elected president of the Little Rock Music Fes-
tival Society, which is to give the great musical
festival in Little Rock next May. In this enter-
prise Colonel Hollenberg sees the prophetic fore-
runnpr of the fulfilment of some of his most
ambitious dreams for the cultivation and gratifi-
cation of the love of musk: among the people of
our state. He is in close touch with the musical
element of this section, and looks for an immense
gathering of cultured people to attend the festi-
val. He smiled a broad smile of satisfaction
when the reporter questioned him on this point
and said: "I believe the attendance at the fes-
tival, while broadly comprehending the represen-
tative men and women, of our state will be com-
posed of a class such as would be a credit to any
state. Music lovers, are always people of refine-
ment, and the gratification of the love of music
is always one of the first employments of wealth.
The festival attendance will represent the wealth
and refinement of our state."
