THE IRON PIANIST.
!
i H« Broke the Record by Playing 40 i
Hours Without a Halt.
I
l Early in 1837 an English soldier
! was reported to have played the pi-
anofotte at Calcutta for twenty-
three hours consecutively. We do
*ot know the name of that soldier
and for the life of us we cannot con-
ceive what his commanding officer
could have been about. But the
fact remains that the recital of
his pianolortitude so moved Mr. Na-
poleon Bira white he was in a bar-
j ber shop in Stockport in the spring
of 1887 that in reply to a customer
who asked him what he thought of
it he then and there declared his
readiness to surpass the military
man’s efforts without ever resting
either hand. A bet of £lO was
promptly laid against him hut Mr.
Bird won it on June 7 and 8 1887
by playing t wenty-five hours with
both hands continuously. This
however by no means satisfied his
soaring ambition and on October
27 and 28 in the same year he in-
creased his record to thirty-six and
a quarter hours and was presented
with a “massive gold watch chain
pendant bearing the inscription to
the effect that the gift came from
the public of Stockport” in recog-
nition of his feat. For seven years
Mr. Napoleon Bird was allowed t«
remain in undisputed possession of
the long-distance championship of
the Ivories. But within the last
couple of months a determined ef-
fort to wrest the championship
from England was made by a Ger-
man athlete named Berg yclept
the “iron pianist.”
The credit of England was at
stake but Mr. Bird was equal to the
occasion and at the end of Novem
ber he entered once more the pian-
istic arena. The scene of his pyra-
midal achievement was the Stock-
port Armory and we are assured
by the Manchester “Courier" that
it created interest in musical cir-
cles besides exciting the “close at-
tention of the sporting fraternity."
For forty consecutive hours the
dauntless performer kept up an un-
interrupted flow of melody with
both hands. Herr Berg’s repertory
if we mistake not only comprised
400 pieces; but Mr. Bird played
“over 1000 selections—overtures
operatic pieces descriptive works
songs and dances.” Furthermore
everything was played without
notes "not a single sheet of music!
being allowed in the bond.
But Mr Bird was happily guard-
< d against the depressing iufluenecs
of monotony by the organizers of
the entertainment. There were
concerts every evening "to Increase
the variety" and without breaking
the continuity of the performance
Mr Bird acted as accompanist to
the singers "right away on being
told what the songs were and the
keys in which they were to be play-
ed.” On one night as he patheti-
cally put it “we or rather they"
had n dance from 11 p. m to 3 a. m
His repertory of dance music was
by no mean* exhausted by those
four hours but the dancing license
came to an end at that time and
Mr. Bird had to continue his task
without the accompaniment of
“twinkling feci" si ill he. was never
alone. Be had two doctors who
exchanged duty while he played
and he had a professional .niiwrn
“who never left me." Well' may
the poet sing:
“O woman in our hours of ease
Uncertain coy nnd hard to please.
When pain and anguish wring the
♦row
A ministering angel thou"
For the professional nurse was
charged with the duty of minister-
ing to the wants of Mr. Bird "ac-
cording to a diet which had hern
carefully prescribed" and which in-
cluded “roust fowl dry bread bran-
dy and soda lemonade and feel wa-
ter and after a thirty-two hoars'
play a dozen of oysters." He was
never hidden from the view es the
public whe had thus the extmtae
felicity el seeing him taking his
food while he played and by means
of a mirror placel In front of him
he was afforded the visible proof If
the untiring Interest and Affection .
ate solicitude of the public. In
particular he tells <>! one party of
ladies whom he saw “sitting there
• for seven hours at least."—[London

THE SPIRIT oVENTERPRISE.
Cotton Goods Mode In ArknnMs aro
Sold in tho Nerth.
Commissioner Vincenheller has on
exhibition at the Bureau of Mines:
Manufactures and agrlctiltnre a!
number of specimens of cotton
goods turned out by the Mammoth
Spring cotton mills. To the aver-
age citizen unapprised of the real
and rapid strides being made by
Arkansas the specimens referred
to will be a revelation. They In-
clude various kinds of cotton
goods such as toweling cotton
checks bed ticks etc. and will
equal the similar character of pro-
ductions mywkere.
Mr. P. B. D. Hynson es Mam-
moth Spring was it the city yes-
terday representing the mills. Win j
mission is to endeavor to contract'
to furnish the State charitable in-i
stitutlons with the prodnet of the)
mills. The Mammoth Spring mills:
employ from 205 to 305 people eoa-J
stantly. As an instance of the!
benefits accruing to the State by
the existence of such an enterprise I
within its confines it may he stated j
that these mills recently filled an
order for 15005 cetton shawls fotj
a Cineinnattl wholesale concern.
The succtsafdl operation of the
Mammoth Spring and other cotton i
mills in this State may yet act as an j
incentive to bring hither some of
the great New England cotton mills
which are just now casting their
eyes southward. Attention has:
heretofore been called In these col-:
umnstothe movement of the far!
Eastern mills to the South and of
the eneregtlc efforts pfit forth by
Texas Missinwippl and Georgia]
towns to secure the location of the. j
migratory enterprises in their re-
spective localities.
