about eight hundred at the camp, and another

The completion of the magnificent and ma
jestic organ being erected in Music Hall, is an
event anticipated with pride and pleasure BY
the musical public. The project was inaugu-
rated nearly seven years ago. and the greater
portion OF hat time has been devoted to its
accomplishment. 1t was built in Germany
by the celebrated firm of Walcker & Son, ex-
pressly for the proprietors of the Music Hall.
