TUB KltOKdr.lt 1'IANOS. Jlr. 8. P. Hohinau, agent for this very K)iulnr instrument, had on exhibition the finest piano in Ait hall, which was the center of admiration of all who lovo music and nil uiiro tho work of urt in household furnish ings. It was nil upright, tundo of Kngllsh onk, highly fluishod and artistically carved, con taining all tho Litest and best patents, and when Jlrv IIohmnnl who was ensonally pres ent, played selections on tho instrument, it held tho musical cars of tho vnst throng in the closest attention, "Oh, what a delight ful tone," ono lady was heard to leniaik; while unother would siy, "soclear and sweet, I never hemil anything to eipinl It," nud then nil hands would usk for u curd mid ex press their appreciation of the merits of tho "Kroegor." There seems somutlilng wonderful how this piano has attained its imputation lu a coiu purativcly shoit tlnto, but not so when one stops to consider how much butter It is than its numerous livnls. Jlr. Henry ICrooger, tin senior member of this manufacturing llrin w as for twenty-tin ce years foi email of the well known Kteiuway piano factory, nud It was through this gen tleman's many devices, ingenuity mid thorough knowledge of tho bii.slue.iy, that tho Hteinwny made such n success. However, since retiring from their employ, Mr Kroe gor hns made a uiimhcrof Improvements over the piano of several years ago, and of such sterling vnliio tint many hno tiled to Imi tate, but none hao succeeded, for everything ndded has been duly protected by patents, nud me found in iioiio but instruments of tills make. One of tho patents is tho obtuse miirulur melal frame, which Is not only claimed by tho manufacturers, but by all eminent imiMclitns who have tried It, to be suierlor to oil other piano frames, thus afford ing a richer tone, etc. All uptight pianos nro thrce-stiinged mid routulu now Cnpo d'Astro bar, which is n recent patent, dated October 111, 1SSH. Thero Is much to say in favor of tlio piano nud to speak of nil Its merits would consume too much timo mid space, which during this particular lively fair week is both scnirennd vnluable However, suillce It to say that the ICioeger piano iniulo for itself a big hit nud nil ikm-sous desiring to lenrn more of It may receive full iufoinmtiou by calling on Jlr.
