NONSTOP PIANO.
PLAYER GOING
STRONG
O. w. Burt Hopes to Beat
Own Record of ~ Hours,
20 Minutes

His first day of piano playing had
failed this afternoon to dim the
hopes of G. w. Burt to beat his
own worlds record of forty-seven
hours and forty minutes.
Burt started at O'Clock last
night in the show window at 1S4l
Fourteenth street northwest and
was still going strong this AFTER
noon. He hopes to continue unul
tomorrow night and establish i
new record or fifty hours or more.
Burt, who claims the world
championship for continuous piano
playing, started out like q streak
of lightning last night and those
who braved the downpour OF rs'n
to help him off were doubtfuI as
to whether he coud last; as ne
seemed to be hitting the keys too
hard and putting a great amount OF
effort in his long list of classic and
popular pieces.
Re has a nurse constantly at
hand to render service and iced
him.
IN addition to holding the world ,
record for continuous piano playing,
Burt has a wonderful memory TOR
musical numbers and Is said TO
have some 5000 musical hits at
the tips of his fingers.
Upon learning of the new cham
pion. Professor Camille Baucia,
Baltimore '.piano king" sought Burt
ouf last night and challenged him
to 4 piano duel to be fought in
Baltimore this month.
Baucia claims that he established
q worlds record in 1908 having
clawed two pianos and an organ to
death in nonstop record and the
performance then attracted much
attention nationally. During the
performance he played about 500
selections alternating between the
oianos and the organ. Since that
time he, has claimed the worlds
championship for continuous play
Mr.. Burt Immediately accepted
the challenge and has posted a
purse for his appearance in BaIti-
