WAREHOUSEMEN,

Dcsiio to remind tho publie that since com- mencing bnsmess some yeaio ago they have mot, with nothing but continuous and uniuteri upted SUCCOR, lins is explained by the fact that they know the urn uta of thu Musical Public, mid their

extensive European connection cnublod them to supply^ fioin tho very beginning ovory require- ment iii tho way ot Fn-ot-Olass Iustiaiments, mckell by their English representative from the Best Continental .Factories.

Mr. Pollard's 20 Years' experience in the Musical Trade in ludia aud tho East and other tropical climates has made him an expert and a judge whoso equal it would bo difficult to find.

It is therefore easily seen why H. J. Pollard & Co. from the very commencement of their exis- tence obtained, and continue to hold, tho first place as Dealers in Pianos of the Very Finost Order, which distinction no house has uver yet succeeded in wresting fiom them.

H. J. Pollard & Co. have recently PUR- CHASED the wholo of the extensive Stock add connection of Messrs. ALFRED SHAW & CO.'S

Tho Famous Solid Iron-Framed HERMANN SCHRODER PIANO wo have placed last on tho list in order that it might occupy the most con- spicuous place, which it deservedly should, con- sidering tliat throughout tho colony of Queens- land alone hundreds upon hundreds of Hermann Schröders have been sold.

Special attention lias been gi von to our Timing and Repairing Department, and an cngagemoiit has been made with a stall' of English tuners who aro experts in their profession, and whoso ex- perience has been gained in the firms of Messrs. Broadwood, Brinsmead, and Erard.

Tho Public havo so long and so often been re- minded that no Queensland firm has yet at- tempted to compete against their prices or their terms that a repetition of this fact is almost needless.

AVhore can you get a piano at 2s. Gd. per week with a deposit of 10s. ?

H. J. POLLARD'S ¡A the only house, not alone in Queensland, but in tho whole of Australia, that will accommodate you with terms like those.

THIS FACT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Every purchaser receives Three Months' Tuition free of charge from Mr. CAFLISCH, Hie eminent pianist, whose services in connection with the Brisbane Liedertafel Society havo been to highly spoken of. Each of our customers has consequently tho opportunity of receiving ii course of elementary or finishing lesions from a most accomplished mid perfect master, the vahío of which can senrcoly bo estimated.

HE Delight of all Youngsters ! PEACOCK'S

Delicious JAMS.

Walking along an American country road (says tho New York correspondent of the S. üf. Herald) ono not infrequently meets a house moving on rollers to some new site ; and in cities, of courso, there have been many examples of the same thing on a grand scale. But by far the grandest effort of the kind ever made has just been successfully completed at Coney Island. For several years the sea had been makirfg inroads on the land, and it be- came evident that a season or two more would bring the waves to the spot where the large summer Hotel, known as the Brighton Beach House, had been erected. The building was .IGOft. long-, with an average depth of 170ft., and was six stories high. The founda- tion was of 6tone, and the upper floors of wood. What was to be dono to save it from being swallowed up by the Atlantic Oceun ? A local builder cheerfully undertook the contract to move it back a few hundred feet and at once set to work. First, ha put screws under the hotel foundations and lifted it bodily up in the air. Ho then built a number of short parallel railroad tracks and managed to deposit the hotel on a combination of 112 specially constructed platform cars. And then lastly, half-a-dozen locomotives rinvultuneously tugged at the cars, the pulleys and ropes being inge- niously arranged to concentrate the strain at tho proper points; and, to the delight of several thousand spectators, the monster hotel moved forward as a wholo on the desired course. The total weight is estimated at about 5000 tons, and the removal was consummated with- out the slightest apparent injury in any way to any part of the hotel. Not even a glass in the

bar was broken.
