Mir How ard has fully sustained his reputation for good work. The organ contains 20 reg isters and 745 speaking pipes, carefully selected to produce a large variety of choice music, two key boards and a set of foot pedals. Its height is Is 1-2 feet and width six and a half. The case is finished in natural ash, to harmonize with other church fittings. The pipes at the front are decorated in several colors. An elaborate case was not desired and the one furnished is suitable. Grace chnrch now has an organ equal to that of any church of it's size for miles around. Af- ter finishing his work here, MT Howard went to New Haven to work on a church organ. He is to submit figures for the new organ of the Universalist church, Bridgeport.
