The Great Organs or the World.

by Henry Willis in 1870. 1t contains
1873 stops, four manuals and nearly
10, 600 pipes, all Of which are OF metil-
The wind is supplied by steam power.
Thirteen cOuplers connect or diseon-
meet the various subdivisions of the
organ at the will Of the performer.
The organ at st. Georges Hall, Liver
pool, also built by Mr.. Willis, has 100
stops and four manuals. That OF st.
Sulpice, Paris, is of the same magni-
tude and has 5000 pipes. The largest
organ in America is in the Music
Hall, Boston, built by Walcker, OF
Ludwigsbdrg il has four manuals,
50 stops and 1900 pipes. fhe
other Important organs i'll this
