Mrs. y. Penteid has entered the field to try and
keep alive an interest in organ music outside Of the
church service. To this end he has planned
short series Of rccitals on the organ - ST. Georges
Church in Stuyyesant square. The first of these
recias he gave yesterday afternoon, and about 200
interested listeners, Who came invitation, heard
his performance Of half dozen pieces of music of
high class The programme follows:

tone. It has four manuals and pedal, with an
open diapason stop Of 32foot tone, %
speaking stops ana number OF the
mechanical contrivances with which mod

Occasionally somc of the deep registers seemed
slow of speech yesterday, and the comparative
emptiness of the church provoked an echo that pre-
vented al the pieces from coming 10 the hearers
