 Secretary Ray l.. Maxim of the Chamber of Commerce. had intended to present the matter to the weekly luncheon of the board Of directors today and ask for further instruc- tions.

Ten Years Contract In Quaker

Gifts.

Leopold stokowski's contract
with the Philadelphia Orchestra has

years. Mr.. Stokowski has just
completed ten years as conductor
of the Philadelphia Orchestra. and
this event was celebrated amid
enthusiasm at the orchestral con-
certs of last week in Philadelphia.
by gifts of a chest Of old English
plate and a silver urn.
The announcement that his con-
tract had been renewed for another
four years was made at this time.
This fact Is of interest to Wash
ington, as well, as no orchestra is
more popular here than the players
from the Quaker City with DR.
'Stokowski at their head. The
Times made a misstatement in its
last review OF the Philadelphia con-
certs, to the effect that there would
be only three concerts here next
year.
There will be, as usual, the
regular course of five concerts,

instrument. Was Invented by
One crestford at Padua
In 1920.

Music lovers who visit the Metro.
politan Museum of Art In New
York are greatly interested in the
earliest piano in existence, which
occupies a place OF honor in the
great Crosby Brown collection OF
musical instruments.
The piano was made by Bar
tolomeo di Francesca Cristofori, the
inventor of the pianoforte. The
body Of the instrument IL in the
shape of a harp lying horizontally,
which suggests the form OF the
modern grand piano.
The piano is made Of cedar, has
three legs and measures seven feet
seven inches long by three feet
three inches wide at it's widest part.
The keys are Of hight wood, with
the sharps black as usual. The
range is four and quarter
octaves. The following Is inscribed
on the front part near the keys:
"Bartholomaeus de Christophoris
Patavinus Inventor Facierat Floren-
tinae, MDCCxX."
Cristofori was born in 1855 at
Padua. Prince Ferdinand de Me-
dici, son OF the Grand Duke Cosmo
III, who was himself a skilled
musician, induced him to go to
Florence. BY I'LL, Cristofori had
made four pianofortes and it is quite
probable that when Handel was
called to Florence to compose a
melodrams at the Princes request
in 1908. he tried the new invention.
The mechanism of the instru-
ments was simple. Pressure on
the key moved a second lever.
which released the damper fused to
keep the strings from vibrating)
and at the same time hit the hop
per. The hopper by means Of a
spring hit the hammer, which In
turn struck the string and pro.
duced the note.
