THE LEADING POSITION.
Especial Correspondence
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Is, 1876.
now mat the Centennial authorities are
issuing certified copies Of the reports OF the
judges OF awards, the public are beginning 20
learn ofncialy what are the merits of the
exhibits In the various departments. The
advertisements announcing that this exhibi-
ton or mat one has received the sshigheet
award" and that he has "triumphed over
all compositions" Take for example the
musical Instrument class. As We pass along
piano forte row, We are greeted with pla-
cards, prominently displayed, telling as that
this or that instrument 10 the one altogether
desirable, and according TO the verdict OF the
judges, the only one deserving OF q medal. The
unwary are liable TO be misled by these par
reports TO prick the bubbles 30 eaily ioat-
ing. For instance, one piano manufacturer,
who has been loud in his own praise, and
who, N be had been believed, would have
distanced all rivals, has received q media
and diploma, and for what, do you imagine?
why, for greatest pow er"-simply that and
notning more. Another also receives a
medal and diploma for "pliaoility Of touch
and good workmanship" Still another il
granted an award for concert grand pianos
while ais other styles are not thought worthy
OF mention by the judges. Hence IL 10 evident
mat the only sure criteriOns are the official
reports, which enable us TO Discriminate be-
tween the claims OF the different competi-
Taking these as our guide, we and that
one nrm and one only, has been decreed an
unqualified award on al their four sfyses of
pianos, viz: Messrs. VIM. Knabe a Co. the

ENGLISH BIGoTRY.-" There has been storm
in tea-cup at Lancaster" says the London
Tablet, "about the important question whether
she Mayor, who is a Catholic, should go in his
official robes to hear the Cardinal Archbishop
preach. The Mayor intended to do ss is done,
we believe, in Dublin when the Lord Mayor is
q Catholic, but some of the more sensitive
Protestants of the town, and specially some Of
the local papers, got up an agitation and q
protest. When the matter came to the know
ledge of the Cardinal Archbishop, it was soon
settled in the manner in which everybody
might have been certain that it would be, for
his Eminence at once wrote to the Mayor, and
after acknowledging with thanks the motive
which prompted his intended act, requested
him in his own name, and for his own sake
to forego the exercise of his civic privileges
1t would said his Eminenoe, be a subject OF
much regret to me if my visit to Lancaster
which hoped would be one of peace and good
will to our oountrymen, even though We are
unbappily divided in faith, should become an
occasion of variance and of trouble to your.
self The Mayer of course complied-ob
serving however that he did not believe that
his fellow townsmen sympathized with the
opposition which had been got up-and or
Sunday he, the ex-msyOr, and three of the
aldermen were present at the Catholic Church
| in their private capacity"
