WINNERS IN LORENZ CONTEST
Sixth Annual Anthem Contest of the Lorenz Publish-
ing Company, Dayton, O., Announced.
The Sixth Anthem Contest conducted by Lorenz
Publishing Company, Dayton, O., which came to a
close February first, brought in 897 compositions,
representing not only all parts of the United States
and Canada, but all continents with the single excep-
tion of Asia. The first prize of $150 was awarded to

ing particularly on the activities of the sheet music
trade that provides the thrill to the expectations.
A great many things in recent years have occurred
to influence the taste in music of the American peo-
ple. And as the sheet music trade is dependant for
success on its response to that varying taste it is easy
to see how talks relating to that range of subjects
will be keenly listened to at the business gatherings
in the Hotel Stevens. Jazz may be tamed but other
demands of the dance era are worthy of consideration
by sheet music men. New kinds of music and the
growth of the dance orchestra, professional and ama-
teur, have possibilities for discussion that should in-
terest the trade.
WESTERN BAND CONTESTS
Interesting Program of Events to Be Held in Con-
nection with the Convention.
The program of band concerts and band contest
events to be held in connection with the convention
of the Western Music Trades Association in San
Francisco, July 12, 13 and 14, has been printed on a
folder which has been widely distributed all over the
western country. Among the interesting numbers is
a massed band concert at the Municipal Auditorium
in which over 1,000 musicians will take part.
The committee in charge of the band events is com-
posed of E. J. Delano, chairman; Daniel Miller,
Henry Crobe, J. H. Lee, Dewey Waters, George
Brenner, Earl Stone, H. P. Mulholland and F. A.
Sieberling. Mr. Delano, who is head of the musical
merchandise department of Sherman, Clay & Co., will
be the conductor in the opening number in the con-
cert by massed bands.
Other band contests in connection with the annual
convention will take place in the following places:
North Coast Section, at Santa Rosa, Cal., and Sac-
ramento Valley section contest at Marysville.
A notable stimulation to the increased sale of coin-
operated pianos and orchestrions is a good line of
