Lincoln, following his first and probably best-known march "Midnight Fire Alarm" which was published in 1900.
Lincoln wrote many marches and several other types of music including ragtime. This one was published by Vandersloot Music Co. in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1904.

Harry James Lincoln aka Harry Jay Lincoln (13 April 1878 Shamokin, Pennsylvania – 19 April 1937 Philadelphia) was a composer from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Career: Aside from running his own publication company, he wrote many marches and rags, such as the Bees Wax Rag (1911), the Lincoln Highway two step march (1921), and quite possibly the Repasz Band March (1901). This last composition, created for the local Repasz Band of Williamsport, Pennsylvania (founded in 1831 and currently the oldest brass band still in existence in the United States), has also been credited to its trombonist Charles C. Sweeley; however, evidence indicates that Sweeley had bought rights to the march from Lincoln.
Pseudonyms:
Lincoln often used several pseudonyms, a common practice for composers who published in their own firm. His pseudonyms included:
Thomas Casele Ben E. Crosby James L. Dempsey I. Furman-Mulliner James L. Harlin Frederick M. Holmes Harry Jay[3][4] Joseph Kiefer Abe Losch ("Losch" was the maiden name of his mother) Carl Loveland Carl L. Loveland Gay A. Rimert Lillian H. Sarver Chas. C. Sweeley Caird M. Vandersloot Carl D. Vandersloot F. W. Vandersloot Jesse Westover Frederick Williams
Lincoln died on April 19, 1937, at the age of 59.
