PRIZE PIANOS ATTRACT
CROWDS IN BROADWAY

The two exceptionally handsome
pianos which The Herald Will give,
absolutely free, to winners in the $25,-
600 voting contest continue to draw
increasing numbers of interested per-
sons to the display windows of the
Fitzgerald Music company 523 South
Broadway where the instruments are
on exhibition.
The Fitzgerald Music company has
been in the piano business for a period
extending over almost a quarter of a
century, and never have two pianos
of the same price and style gone from
the store that were superior to the
ones purchased by The Herald. In
tone, in construction and in general
appearance they are perfect, and win
ming either of them is worth the great
est possible effort.
The Henry & S. C. Lindeman Baby
Piano is a triumph of the piano
makers art and from an ornamental
standpoint alone. would be a valuable
addition to any home. Taking in con-
junction with this the fact that, from
a musical standpoint, there are very
few pianos that equal and none that
surpass the Lindeman Baby Grand, it
is not a matter of wonder that so
many earnest workers have entered
the contest with the hope of winning
this instrument.
Not less attractive than the Iinde-
man Baby Grand is the Steger &,
Sons Upright, which will be given to
some fortunate contestant. it is one
of the finest instruments manufactured
nv Steger & Sons Co, and is we'll
adanted to inspire the enthusiasm that
is so apparent among The Herald con-
testantS.

that look like survivors from creta-
ceous times; most typical and closely
associated in the public mind of Japan
with Enoshima is heavy large snail
shell, with stout projecting spines
about the lip; beautiful are the sun
and moon" shells, smooth and bril-
liant slightly convex bivalves, one
valve of which is almost snowy white,
while the other is rich red. This last
is one OF the most characteristic shells
Of Japan, and owes the curious differ
ence in TIE color of the valves to the
fact thu. it lies fat upon the sand
bottom so that one valve receives the
sunlight and gains color, while the
other. In eternal shadow, is pale and
coIorless Besides the shells of mol
Iuks these little shops abound in all
sorts of strange crustacea and the
hard parts of other marine forms.
There are boxes full of sea-urchins;
there are crabs and shrimps and lob
ster-like crustacea of strange forms
and curious coloring. Some Of the
crabs have slender sprawling legs
TO tip across the body. Every shop
has pendant from the ceiling quanti-
ties of lanterns varying IN size from
less than a mans fist to more than a

THE SACRED ISLAND

Tokyo.-We have been to the sacred
ISLAND, Enoshima. In anticipation the
trip was somewhat of a bore. Every
one goes to Enoshima-it is faVorite
summer resort. Perhaps, because we
had not expected much, it delighted
us; at all events, few pleasure days
have left a happier memory. or
course the season is over. 1t is too
cold for bathing; the hint Of winter is
in the air; not only tourists, but sum-
mer residents have deserted the place,
and the fishermen have 1t all to them
selves. About two-hours by rail from
Tokyo brought us to Fujisawa, where
we took the tramcar for Katase. A
few minutes ride through sandy dis
trict grown with scrub pine brought
as to our destination. Full should
have been seen in all her glory, but
clouds and distant haze prevented;
only now and then unsatisfactory
glimpses were caught. Katase is
mean village, upon a sandy point, the
projecting spit from which connects
the sacred island with the mainland.
The street through which we walked
was closely bordered with tea houses
and shell shops. Every. one knows
that there are shell shops at Enoshima,
but we were not prepared for their
great variety and attractiveness. Here
are the great pearly ear-shells, or hall
Dtis-the "aboline" of California; here,
too, are spiny murex, mitres, cowries
In variety, the great thin and delicate
cassis, heaps of fusus; of bivalves
there are whites and yellOws, puppies,
reds and pinks; there are strange
oysters, with straight hinge and curl
GUS, narrow, long and fluted valves
