is from the booklet:
For almost a year we have looked forward with
eager anticipation to an announcement which we are
now able to make. The first Mason & Hamlin with
the Ampico to be received in Chicago is now in our
music rooms; others are on the way.
It is truly a glorious instrument, a worthy com-
bination of two perfect mediums—the Mason &
Hamlin, most beautiful of all pianos, and the Am-
pico, that marvel in the perfect re-enactment of the
artist's playing.

The removal last month of Messrs. Steinway &
Sons from Wigmore street to more commodious
premises at 1 and 2 George street, Conduit street, is
another landmark in the history of musical London,
says "Music." The old Steinway Hall, the oldest
existing concert hall in London, is to disappear. The
new Steinway Hall, though it will retain the old
name, will be- primarily more in the nature of a
magnificent showroom than a concert hall.
Situated within a stone's throw of Bond street,
Regent street and St. George's, Hanover Square, it
is a six-story building, more than twice the size of the
old one, and contains some 40 rooms, of which eleven
will be used as showrooms and eleven as studios.
The main showroom, on the ground floor, is 60 feet
long, decorated in white and gold, and will be used
for the display of fancy-case pianos.
On the top floor are the studios. Close-fitting,
baize-covered doors and hemp-covered floors, under
which is a layer of felt, help to keep these rooms
sound absorbing, so that, even if all eleven studios are
being used at once there will be little, if any, clash of
sound. Professional teachers of music, singing and
elocution will have these studios at their disposal.
FINE "CONTINENTAL" TRADE.
Roger W. Brown, of the Continental Piano Co., has
returned to the Boston offices from a trip through
Pennsylvania and to Washington. He reports that
Continental dealers in this territory are well stocked
for the Christmas trade and anticipate a fine business.
