A TRADE NOTE.

Here is an interesting item. Dawkins & Co., London agents for Lyon & Healy, Chicago, have sent an order for 2,000 guitars, mandolins and banjos to be delivered as quickly as possible. While this speaks well for the British demand for Lyon & Healy guitars, mandolins and banjos, it also speaks well for Dawkins & Co.

The following story is true: A gentleman walked into a piano wareroom in the neighborhood of Regent street the other day and inquired, "Do you sell pieces for the piano?" "No, sir; we sell pianos whole," innocently replied the salesman. He never saw the joke though. NIRVANA.

Lyon & Healy

Lyon & HEALY celebrated the receipt of awards by right clever advertisements in the principal Chicago papers during the week. We can give only the text. In the hands of Western typographical artists they appeared "a thing of beauty, and a joy forever." " The great Caesar's sententious history of a campaign aptly describes the triumph of our exhibit of musical instruments at the World's Fair. In every line shown by us we are accorded the highest awards, receiving no less than twelve diplomas, or four times as many as any other exhibitor in the musical group ! This splendid success at the greatest World's Fair ever held, and one where the contest for supremacy has been the keenest and the standard of competition the highest, naturally gives us a feeling of sublime content, compared with which a Philadelphia Sunday is a riotous revel. Our glorious triumph embraces: The Lyon & Healy harp, successful over all competitors; the Peloubet church organ ; the Peloubet self-playing organ ; the Washburn guitar ; the Washburn mandolin and mandola ; the Washburn banjo ; the Washburn zither; the new departure drum; the monarch drum ; the Peloubet blowing apparatus for church organs ; and a special award granted no other exhibitor in this group, for the excellence of our general display! We repeat, we are proud of our city, our Fair, and our exhibits!"
