 LECTURE BY Al DISTINGUISHED
 ARCHITECT.
 At II o'clock 0 lecture was given in Warner hall by Sir George Ashdown Audsley, IL. D., of London, and was largely attended. It was of great in terest to those concerned in the use and study of the organ, his subject be- ing, Recent and Desirable Improve ments in Organ Construction" He criticised organists who do not under stand the mechanism of the instrument on which they play. and also the build CTS themselves who are apt to be too conservative in their ideas. He said that musicians must be in a position to instruct organ builders, most of whom do not understand the principles of their instruments or the scientific principles of the production of sound. He recommended the organists to form an association to consider the needs of the organ and to stimulate the work of the builders.
 His remarks on specification, swell construction and the use of mixtures were of particular interest. He praised the late MT. Roosevelt of New York in the very highest terms as a scientific organ builder.
 Sir George is a very distinguished 1man, and is we'll known in the scien- tific and architectural world. He has been knighted for his services and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Architects.
 Dr. Auds1ey occupied long time in a description of the mechanical and scientific construction of the organ and advanced some theories of his own which he said if he could use in build ing an organ would make the finest in- struments in the world.
