HOHNER'S HARMONICA BAND HEARD.
Hohner's Harmonica Band of Public School
No. 83, New York City, gave its initial concert at
the school building Thursday, before a large and
very much interested audience, who had assem-
bled to enjoy the annual Christmas festivities.
The band was led by Edward S. Braendle, adver-
tising manager of M. Hohner, 475 Broadway, New
York, its organizer, and the rendition of the solos
and concerted selections of an elaborate program
was a great success.
KOCHMANN'S VIOLIN RESTORED.

August Gemunder & Sons, of 42 East Twenty-
third street, recognizing the value of a partly
destroyed Mathias Klotz violin, undertook the
task of restoring it to its original perfection, and
after many months of tedious work have placed
the Klotz on exhibition in their salesrooms. The
violin was smashed to pieces by a boy in Mount
Vernon who entered the house of Reinhard Koch-
mann, of that city. Mr. Kochmann saved the
pieces and found that August Gemunder was the
man to restore his valuable instrument.
