Pianoforte Company, who are selling about as many pianos in a day as most firms sell in a week, caused a bit of a Bensation on Lambton Quay, Wellington, one day recently by entirely blocking the pavement by huge piano cases. The pianos had just been landed, and Mr M.J, Brookes, the Company's enterprising manager, instead of bringing them to the warehouse one at a time as most people do, engaged every "lorry" in town pretty well, and the large consignment of "musical boxes" was driven along Lambton Quay in a kind of triumphal procession. The display served its object and attracted a good deal of attention from the public, and although Mr Brooke had not the good fortune to be summoned for creating an osbtructi'm, he quite managed to adequately impress people with the extraordinary deyelopment his business is undergoing. Sporting men would find it groatly[to their advantage by c jrrespondiu? with A. J. Jacobs, the professional Taxidermist from London. Birds, fish, animals and reptiles preaeryed and mounted in the highest style. Every description of skins preserved or tanned and made into rugs, etc. Work done in all its branches ac lowest rates. Correspon deuce in all parts of the globe. 80 years' experience. All work guaranteed. Highest price given, or work done in exchange for huias, crows, New Zealand quail, and other birds. N. Z. birds wanted in any quantity. Orders left at Mr. Williams,' tobacoonist, Masterton, or Mr. Catt's, hairdresser, Qx rt«?rton, will be attended to.— Advt.
