STEINWAT'S  VICTORY  AND  LAURELS. 
THE  following  official  report  of  the  Judge-s  of 
Awards  shows  coiMnsietiv  that  the  hiohkst  hon¬ 
ors  In  the  gift  of  the  centennial  authorities  were 
umn(mot/j>ly  awarded  to  Sieinway  tC  Som.  The 
report  spealcs  for  Itself,  and  an  attentive  perusal 
and  a  critical  comparison  with  other  published 
reports  is  respectfully  solicited. 
THE  AIX-IMPORTANT  JCtKIK’S  REPORT. 
The  undersigned,  having  examined  the  Grand, 
Square  and  rpidght  Pianos  exhibited  by  Stkin- 
WAY  &  Sons,  respectfully  recommend  the  same 
to  the  United  States  Centennial  Commission  for 
award,  for  the  following  reasons,  viz. : 
fbr  greatest  (xntaert  eapitrfty  tn  orand  IHanos, 
as  also  highest  degree  of  rxveUetuv  (n  all  their 
styles  of  pianos,  viz,:  largest  vut.uiiie,  purity  and 
duration  of  tone,  and  ex,traordi>tary  can'gtng  ca¬ 
pacity,  with  preeision  and  duraOiltty  of  mechan¬ 
ism;  also,  novel  disposUlon  of  the  strings  atid 
construction,  and  hraeing  of  the  nietat  Jrarne. 
Improvements  applied  by  Stelnway  &  Sons  were 
the  following : 
I.  A  DlSPOSmON  OP  THE  STRIKOS  TN  (TIR  FORM 
OF  A  FAN.  placing  the  bass  string  across  the  steel 
strings,  and  materially  elongating  the  sound-board 
bridges  by  moving  them  nearer  to  the  oenUu-  of 
the  sound-board  Itself,  thus  setting  greater  por¬ 
tions  of  the  Uiier  Into  vibrutjOry  action,  and  so 
producing  a  greatly  Increased  volume  of  sound. 
II.  A  Dta*i.KX  ScACK,  patented  In  isia,  brings 
Into  action  those  itortlous  of  the  strings  which 
heretofore  lay  dormant  and  Inactive,  thereby  in¬ 
creasing  the  richness,  pltabitUy  and  siwjing  gnat- 
ity,  as  well  os  the  carryiitg  cnpar.tty  of  the  tone, 
especially  of  the  upper  notes. 
in.  A  Cci’OLA  .Metal  Frame,  patented  In  1872 
and  1875,  with  Us  now  system  of  a  crossbar  and 
bracings,  giving  absolute  safety  against  the  pull  of 
the  strings,  and  Increasing  iVie  capacity  to  stand 
In  tune.  Tha  spax’e  gained  by  the  use  of  the  Capo 
d’ Astro  bar  permits  the  use  of  more  heavily  felted 
hammers,  whereby  a  pure,  rich  (luallty  of  tone  Is 
retained  much  longer  tlian  heretofore. 
IV.  A  CONSTROCTION  OK  THE  f^OCNO-BOARD,  With 
Its  system  of  coinprosslon,  (ns  shown  In  the  pat¬ 
ents  of  isfifi,  1869  and  1872.)  preventing  that  relax¬ 
ation  of  the  sound-board  which  Is  the  natural  re¬ 
sult  of  Its  consUAUt  concussion,  caused  by  the 
strokes  of  the  hammers  against  the  strings,  and 
by  atmospheric  Inlluenccs. 
V.  A  .Mktai.lio  Ti'aUi,AR  Frame  Action  (pat^ 
ented  In  1868  and  1875),  being  entirely  impervious 
to  atmosphertc  Intliiences,  In  conjunction  with  the 
new  system  of  escapement,  resulting  In  unerring 
precision,  power  ami  delicacy  of  timeh  and  dura¬ 
bility. 
VI.  A  ToNB-SpsTAiNiNa  Pkuai.  (patented  1874) 
extends  the  capacity  of  the  piano  tor  the  produc¬ 
tion  of  new  musical  effeew,  by  enabling  the  per¬ 
former,  at  pleasure,  to  prolong  the  sound  of  a  sin¬ 
gle  note  or  group  of  notes,  leaving  both  hands 
free  to  strike  other  notes;  l-sot  simple  construe- 
tlon,  not  liable  to  get  out  of  order,  and  Its  use 
easily  acquired. 
Stelnway  &  Sons  exhibit  lu  “Mac^hluery  Hall” 
samples  of  Metal  Farts  and  IIahdwake,  and 
Full  Metal  Frames  of  Grand,  Square  and  Up¬ 
right  iTanos ;  also  samples  of  their  Patent  Metal¬ 
lic  Tubclak  Frame  Actions,  all  prcaluced  at  their 
foundry  and  metal  works  at  Astoria,  Long  Island. 
These  articles  of  composite  metal  sliow  the  high¬ 
est  perfection  of  Jtnish  ami  work  t  mi  a  ship  and  the 
greatest  firmness  and  uniformity  of  metal  struct¬ 
ure,  a  steel-llko  and  sounding  quality  with  a  ten¬ 
sile  strength  exceeding  0,000  pounds  per  square 
centimetre,  as  deinonstrattRl  by  actual  tests.  The 
full  metal  frames  of  cupola  shajie-,  possess  au  un- 
ecpialed  degree  of  resistance,  permlUlng  a  vastly 
Increased  tension  of  strings  without  the  slightest 
danger  of  break  or  cruok  In  .8:»ld  metal  frames, 
thereby  considerably  Increasing  the  vibraioi'y 
power,  and  attgiiwrUing  the  lusting  qualities  or 
their  Instruments.

Kukohean  news  durlbR  the  week  has  had  a  sword 
In  It,  and  when  It  thrnatens  an  uplifted  moveniont,  a 
rise  Is  also  apt  to  occur  In  all  prorninenl  licius  of 
products  Bultublo  for  exportation.  There  has  bnen 
considerable  advance  in  breadsturi's  and  provisions, 
uioro  attributable,  however. to  tUuoscUoniont  creat¬ 
ed  by  the  rapid  and  various  war-like  dispatches  ru- 
oolved  than  to  an  earnest  speculative  demand.  Cau- 
llous  dealers  In  foreiRu  Interests  do  not  respond 
hurriedly  to  the  brlRlitenod  Ideas  of  holders;  m  fact, 
property  hag  gone  largely  abroad  and  nmny  Euro- 
poaii  buyers  feul  (t  to  bp.  better  policy  for  them  to 
wait  until  a  more  iramioll  basis  appears  thao  llie  liu- 
medlale  Outlook  alTords.  True,  many  Impetuous 
operators  bought  heavily  in  uratn  upon  the  ilrsi  sIr- 
nlucatloii  of  national  ernbrotluieut  abroad;  but  later 
transitotlons  have  been  of  a  more  sober  character. 
Gold,  which  la  a  Rood  barometer  of  ocean  commerce, 
has  shown  tamer  fluciuuiluus  than  was  expeoted.
