"An unusual treat," the Mayor had promised
her.
Thus it came about that after the Rumanian
equipage had received the enthusiastic ovation
accorded by the Sesqui-Centennial city, and
after the reception in City Hall, after the dinner
the only official band of the Exposition—the
Sesqui-Centennial Harmonica Band.
And then, while royalty waited, the boys
whipped out their mouthorgans and began to
play.
Queen Marie showed her surprise—as much
as a Queen should. She exclaimed, "beautiful!"
and listened with approving eyes to the stirring
strains of "Under the Double Eagle" march.
The boys used two harmonicas each. As
they quickly changed in the middle of the piece
from one to the other, once more the royal
members exchanged approving glances. Some-

PORTLAND, ORE., October 18.—A new feature
which is being fostered in the Buckman School,
one of Portland's grade schools, is a ukulele

ners and one for the advanced players. It has
already over sixty members. Buckman School

can.
Whisking the Queen from the auditorium,
Mayor Kendrick escorted her party to the Fine
Arts Building. The doors were thrown open
and the Queen, the Princess and the Prince be-
held sixty real "fellows" lined up to greet them.

bit of the spirit of America to the Queen.
And the Queen somehow understood.
Following a royal impulse she advanced and
smilingly thanked . the boys with a sincerity
which made them say later that she was "real."
New Felsberg Case
NEWARK, N. J., October 25.—The trade has ac-
cepted with enthusiasm the new Felsberg Bull's
Head tenor-banjo case, according to Edward E.
Felsberg, head of the Felsberg Co., Spring and
Cross streets, who reports that jobbers and
dealers throughout the country are rushing
orders for this new number. The new Bull's
Head case has a number of new features that
commend it to banjoists and as a result dealers
are reporting good business on it despite the
fact that it is still a new item. A heavier ad-
vertising campaign is in prospect for the Fall
months, according to Mr. Felsberg.

takes a foremost place among local schools for
its musical activities, and others are sure to
follow the example set by it. An orchestra
of twenty pieces was organized last year and,
with several new members, is again busily prac-
ticing two periods each week. A chorus of
seventh and eighth-grade pupils is also being
organized. Membership is optional. Over 200
pupils have made application. .The harmonica
band is composed of thirty-four boys, who hold
rehearsals twice a week. Fred Bergford and
Ivan Koehler are leaders.
Stanley Baylis, manager of the Conn Port-
land store at Eleventh and Alder streets, has
instituted an extensive billboard campaign.
Colorful posters, twenty-four feet in length,
have been placed in prominent locations over
the city and Mr. Baylis, in choosing sites, has
had them placed in the vicinity of the high
schools as the appeal is for the most part to
the younger generation. During September, the
month of the school opening, they were respon-
sible for bringing many into the store.
