Tho ncckcr Pianos.

Everybody in Washington is familiar
with the fine qualities of Decker Bros,
Pianos. The musicians and musical
people of the city especially are compe-
tent to speak the praises of the DECKER"
for many of them use IL in preference to
all other pianos. The general public is
acquainted with the magnificent tone
qualities of Decker Bros Pianos for they
were heard in more concerts during the
past season than the pianos of any other
maker; and the few that have not heard
them well know that the Decker Bros
Piano Is an instrument with great repu-
tation. The fame of the Decker Pianos
rests upon their tone, touch, workman
shin and durability. Tone is of course
the cardinal point in piano, and Decker
Bros Pianos are unapproaChable for
eyenncss and sweetness Of tone, singing
quality and power. The touch is smooth
and elastic, and responds perfectly to
every demand of the performer, as many
artists can testify.
They are constructed in every part of
the very best material only, and are fin
ished with sCrupulous care. This is veri-
fled in an instant by glance at The in
side workmanship of the Decker. There
you will observe that the action, frame,
keyboard, ETC., are finished with all the
nicely which CharaCterizes the external
appearance of these Pianos These are a
few of the reasons which go to make the
reputation of the Decker Bros. Pianos
deserved. They are emphatically first
class Pianos.
1t may also be well to say that Decker
Bros Pianos have imitatOrs, and that
the only genuine Decker Piano is
manufactured by Decker Brothers, New
York, and is sold in Washington by
Messrs. Sanders e. Staymau, No. 9A i
street northwest, where n large stock o.
these beautiful Pianos can always bC
seen, for sale at moderate prices and OIL
easy terms.

Second Excursion to Atlantic City
via. B. * o. II. II.

A special express train will leave B.
and o. depot, Saturday, July %, at
p. M, arriving in Atlantic City at l0:30
p. III. Returning, the special express will
leave Atlantic City at p. M, Sunday,
arriving home AT midnight. Tickets will
also be good for return passage on all
regular trains of Sunday or Monday.
Passengers transfer in street cars from
the new B. IL o. Station at Twenty
fourth and Chestnut streets, Philadel-
phia, to the ferry at foot of Walnut
street. Arrangements are made with the
street.car company to have sufficient
number of cars on hand upon the arrival
of the train to transfer all passengers
comfortably and quickly. This is much
better than to run the train into a dimly
lighted freight-yard and march the pas
sengers, including ladies and children,
across narrow gang-plank up or down
as it may be according to the stage of
the tide.
