FITCH, Clerk. By LEOLYN O. TENHOPEN, Deputy. Seal of the U. S. Circuit Court for the Western District of Michigan, Southern Division Error in Machine Catalog We heartily regret that our anxiety to issue the new Machine Catalog on October 15th, 1911, when the changes noted therein became effective, led us into overlooking an error on page 13. The oak finished Cygnet Horn for the Home model, referred to on that page, is 10 petal instead of 11 petal, as stated. We make this announcement for the benefit of Dealers who may have prospective buyers for the Home model. The Webster Brotherhood of Oriskany Falls, N. Y., has grasped the possibilities of the Phonograph as an entertainment feature for their monthly meetings and is now using one to good advantage for that purpose. Sousa' s Band Sousa and hic famous organization are home from their remarkable tour around the world. This tour presents the greatest feat ever enacted by any musical organization of such magnitude in the history of the world. A company of over sixty artists selected from the representative American musicians sailed from New York harbor December 24, 1910, for England; toured the English Isles, then sailed for South Africa, where it appeared a fortnight; then away it dashed to Australia, then to New Zealand, Hawaiian Isles, the last to dear old "Home, Sweet Home." It met with enthusiasm everywhere. On reaching the docks at the various points dozens of local bands in full regalia met and escorted them through the streets to the hotels. Bands attended the concerts in a body and attended not only once but in many instances each and every concert of the series given in their respective localities. Press comments, letters from bandmasters, critics, etc., sang the praises of this famous, and to them, unique organization. That the musicians and music lovers of the United States should and do feel proud of this organization and its monumental and successful undertaking is unquestionable and in the various cities wherein it is now appearing and will appear, packed houses and enthusiasm is assured. It behooves Dealers to carefully watch for any announcement of the appearance of the band in their respective localities, and to boost the following Records made by it thus far for the Edison Phonograph: AMBEROL. 350 Benediction of the Poignards — The Huguenots (Meyerbeer) 779 Dwellers in the Western World — No. 1, The Red Man (Sousa) 319 El Capitan and Manhattan Beach Marches (Sousa) 656 Elfentanz Valse — Concert Waltz (Lehdr) 404 Gladiator and Thunderer Marches (Sousa) 740 Glory of the Yankee Navy March (Sousa) 325 High School Cadets' and Washington Post Marches (Sousa) 636 Jolly Fellows' Waltz (Vollstedt) 474 Kukuska — Russian Peasant Dance (Lehdr) 413 La Gipsy — Mazurka Ecossaise (Ganne) 540 Marche Tartare (Ganne) 452 Morgenblatter Waltz (Johann Strauss) 365 Roses — Waltz from Suite, Rose of Shiraz (Eilenberg) 463 Slavonic Rhapsody (Fricdmann) 580 Softly, Unawares (Lincke) 285 Stars and Stripes Forever March (Sousa) 679 Three Quotations — No. 1, "The King of France, etc.," (Sousa) 739 Three Quotations — No. 2, "And I, Too, Was Born in Arcadia," (Sousa) STANDARD. 10379 Bachelor's Button (Powell) 10466 Corcoran Cadets' March (Sousa) 10300 Dancing Girl (Sousa) 10335 Dixieland (Haines) _ 10476 Hobomoko — An Indiana Romance (Reeves) 10317 La Lettre de Manon (Gillet) 10511 L;on Chase — Concert Galop (Rolling) 10387 Mondaine — Yalce Berceuse (Bosc) 10350 Narcissus (Nevin) 10237 Powhatan's Daughter March (Sousa) 10277 Summer Girl, The (Sousa) 10272 Yankee Shuffle (Moreland)
