The quality of tone of these matchless Instrnments is of the most exquisite mu- sical character,—pure, sympathetic, and in the highest degree plinble. .The un- “erring test of time demonstrates that the Steinway Upright 2lone equals the Grand or Square in durability, while in the all-important feature of capacity for standing in tune it excels either. Thousands of Steinway Uprights, for many years in use in Chicago and vicin- ity, are living witnesses in behalf of their own unequaled lasting qualities. * TYON & HEALY, State and Monroe- " FINANCIAL.

An alarm was quickly sounded, and strenuous efforts made to rescue the inmates, of whom there were BETWEEN 400 AND 500. The fire spread ‘with frizhtful® rapidity, en- veloping the entire building in flames ina very short time. Aid was at once telegraphed for to Sunbury, Willlamsport, and MMilton.

Special Dispatch to Ths Chicago Tribune. New York, March. 5.—Among the candi- dates for the position made vacant by Jr. James’ promotion s Ar. Henry G. Pearson, who through Mr. James’ administration has acted as Assistant-Postmaster. A long servitude in the Department has made him thoroughly acquainted with its every detail. It was said by many connected with the Department in this city that he was peculiarly qualified to carry out the course hitherto pursued by Postmaster James. As the Assistant Postmaster he has been the executive officer, and all the De- partment heads are ready to speak of his executive ability. Mr. Pearson is ambitious to obtain thelappointment, feeling confident that with his long experience under Post- master James he could still - FORTHER ADVANCE THE POSTAL SERVICE in this city under him as Postmaster-General. ‘Another name mentioned in connection with the office is_ that of Anthony ‘Yeomans, the present Superintendent.

Charley.Davies, of Chicago, arrived here this morning, and has just come into the building with Rowell. ‘The latter is confident that he will do over 600 miles in the contest next week against O’Leary’s “ Unknown.” Rowell looks splen- didly, being but two pounds over his welght in the last Astley belt contest in London.

Campana retired at 6:18, with a score of 450 miles 1 lap, thus securing a share of the gate-money. During the aft- ernoon the backers of Lacouse offered Cur- Tan §1,500 if he would allow the Canadian to pass’ him, but Curran indignantly rejected the offer. Lacouse drooped out -of the race at 7:40 with 459% miles to his credit. ~ Curran_ drew out ‘at §:10, having completed 5042 miles. Krohme ended his walk at 9:25, and_had 5233 miles accredited him.

Speciat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribuna. NEew York, March 5—That the coming racing season will be an extraordinary one i3 apparent from the great number of entriesin the stakes of the Saratoga Association. The increase over last year is remarkable, as will be seen by the subjoined table: Excelsior Sweepstakes.. Flash Stakes ... Cash Handicap A Sequel Stukes. 18 Summer Handl Virginia Stake: Equity Stakes. Baden-Baden Hi it Bl nusenunesaggalts IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE there were four new stakes opened, includ- ing the Trouble Stakes, steeplechase (thirty-seven entries), Spinaway Stakes for 2-year-old fitlies (forty-seven entries)), Misset Stakes for 2-year-old fillies (thirty-five en tries), and North American Handicas Steeplechase (thirty-five entries), making a grand total of 903 entries, with others yetto hear from. There are over elghty owners represented. The five events to be run at the spring meeting of the Americax Jockey Club have o grand array of names, especially the handicaps, and_the Committes who are supposed to apportion the weights have hard work before them. In THE GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES there are forty-four nominations. For the Fordham handicap seventy-two animals have been entered, representing thirty-three sta- bles. ‘The Jockey Club handicap, which isa long race, hus_thirty-one nominations, For the juvenile stakes, half a mile, for 2-year- olds, there ‘are forty-four youngsters en= gazed, representing the best strains of racing blood in the country, through such stallions as Bonnie Scotland, Leamington, Virgil, King Alfonso, Ill-Used, Alarm, Tom Oclieltree, and others. Tho racé for the West- chester Cup promises to be of interest from the reputation of the horses entered. The Association at Long Branch has reason to be satisfied with the nominations to the stakes which are to be run during the July meeting, for in the Shrewsbury Handicap there are no fess than forty-one entries, and it will puzzle the handicapper to, o - MAKE THEM EVEN « - - in the estimation of the different owners. However, the meetings which Erecede that of Monmouth Park will give the handicapper something to guide him, which s an advan- {age the others do not possess. In the Ocean there are fifty-seven nominations. For the Champion Stakes, to be run at the August meeting, there are twenty-seven entries, and among them are Luke Blackburn, Hindoo, Parole; Uncas, Sensation, Monitor, Spina- way, Kimball, Falsetro, and Grenada. This is a weight-for-age race, and therefore it will be a genuine champion race. - BUT LITTLE BETTING has been done in this citir during the past week on any of the Jerome, Coney Island, or Louisville events. In fact, so - little demand has ‘there been for some of the supposed favorits that several horses have increased their odds. Fiveto1can be got against Crickmore for the Withers; 7 to 1 each against Lady Rosebery, Blazes, and Compensations and” 8 to 1 each against Spark and Brambaletta. - For the Conev Island Cup 7 to 2 is offered against Luke Blackburn, 7 to 1 each against Parole, Monitor, and Grenada, 9to 1 ngainst Falsetto, Hsto 1against Uncas, and 12 to 1 against Glideda. For THE MONMOUTI OAKS itis4 to 1 against Spinway, 5to 1 against Thora, Tto 1each against Lady Rosebery, Brambalette, and_Spark, and 13 to 1 azainst Della, For the Traverse Stake, 3 10 1 can be had agninst 1lindoo, 7 to 1 against Compensation, 10 to 1 each against Bonfire and Hermit, 13 to 1 against Lord Patrick, and 15 lte 1 against Valedictory and the Farfaletta col BLOODED DOGS. .
