Aylesford Stradivarius.
(Special to The Review.)
TORONTO, ONT., June 21.—R. S. Williams, of R.
S. Williams & Sons Co., Ltd., of this city, the
noted Canadian violin expert and collector, has re-
cently acquired the famous Stradivarius known as
t'ie "Earl of Aylesford." This instrument will
have the unique distinction of being the first in-
strument by this maker to be owned in Canada.
The instrument is in a remarkable state of preser-
vation and shows the care and reverence that had
been bestowed upon it by its late owners. The
earliest records we have of this violin date back to
t'le latter part of the eighteenth century, when it
was in the possession of the Earl of Aylesford,
who, there is every reason to believe, obtained it
from Italy through the medium of Giardivi, the
famous Italian violinist, with whom he was ac-
quainted. Lord Aylesford retained possession of
this instrument until 1822, when it passed into the
hands of George Ware, a well-known violinist of
that period. In 1828 it was sold to Mr. Hunter.
Some ten years later it passed into the hands of
another English violinist, at whose death it was
acquired by the well-known London dealers, W. G.
Hill & Sons, from whom it was purchased by R. S
Williams.

Excelsior drums cost more because they are
worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less by using- cheaper
material, use less care In making* them, and dis-
