*- ' THE PHONOGRAM. comic song, “Throw Him Down, McClos- key,” by George Gaskin. A large crowd stands constantly at two of these machines to listen to the cornet solo, “ Love’s Messenger,” by the famous Pat- rick Gilmore, and the Volunteer’s March, an orchestral piece, also by Gilmore. Among the recitations Mr. Russell Hunt- ing’s “ Discovery of Columbus,” is exces- sively amusing and creates much merri- ment. The whole exhibit is under the charge of Mr. George B. Lull, the genial manager of the automatic business for the New York Company. Mr. Lull has been connected with this company for a number of years, and made perhaps the most wonderful record of any man in the enterprise. He received during the past Summer at Oscauwauna Grove, in ten minutes, nine dollars, from an exhibition machine. This is the largest amount of money ever taken in so short a time from any exhibition machine. The exhibition phonograph, with way- hearing tubes attached, is under the management of Miss C. E. Jackson, whose pleasant, obliging manner draws many visitors. The machines are gathering in the coins, and Mr. Lull tells us that the profits arising therefrom average per day, and on crowded days they tealize much more. The piano solos of the New York Co. are specially fine. Mr. K. T. Haines has invented a process of taking the records that brings out hi a delightul wav the notes of that instrument. Mr. E. N. Miner, editor of the Phono- graphic World , recently told a Pitoso- gkam reporter that he had become so im- pressed with the utility of the phonograph as an aid to the reporter that he would gladly offer the pages of his magazine to anv contributor who would send articles on’ the subject.
