hours.

Steam rurbIne, for New nattI..hIp,.

In a recommendation to the secretary of
the navy that bids be invited for the con-
struction OF the new battleships Michigan
and South Carolina with turbine pro-
pulsive machinery, as well as reciprocal
ing engines, the board on naval construc-
ton has taken what may prove TO be an
epoch making step In modern naval
science. Rear Admiral Rae, engineer-in-
chief, said I'VE already have contracted
for turbine installation on two OF the
scout ships now building. The Curtis, or
American type Of turbine. will be placed
In one and the Parsons. or English type,
in the other. A third scout OF the same
type will be equipped with the usual
reclprocating engines. At nigh speeds the
economy OF operation of the steam turbine
is undoubted. 1t causes little or no vibra-
advantage.

this morning, and that all the workmen
and their wives and families were invited
to the recital. The result was that the
church was again filled, and for more than
an hour Mr.. Gibson entertained his appre-
ciative and enthusiastic audience with an
informal program embracing a wide
variety of selections.
BY his kindness and courteous consld-
Grafton, shown in this as in many other
ways, no less than by his brilliant per-
Torrance upon the organ, Mr. Gibson has
made and left most favorable impression
with the Brattleboro community. We
trust this may not prove to have been his
only visit here.

Notes.

John c. Pellet had charge of the work
of alteration and repairs. The redecora-
ton of the main audience room was done
by c. A. Borden and that Of the chapel
by p. e. Gobie. The woman's aid society
Of the church furnished the new carpets
as their contribution.
The souvenir program used at the re-
cital contained a finely executed half
tone engraving Of the memorial organ and
remarkably lifelike half-tone portrait
of General Estey.
The managers OF the New York and
Philadelphia branch houses came up TO
attend the recital, and there were
numerous other out-of-town guests.

INFORMAL RECITAL THIS MORNING

Given Through Mr.. olbson's' Thoughtful
Kindness.
Mr.. Gibson suggested to Colonel Estey
yesterday morning that he would like to
give recital on the organ for the bene-
fit of the workmen who had built It. He
said he had often thought that the men
who did the mechanical work on such an
instrument, working faithfully each on
his own separate part, too rarely had the
chance to reap the enjoyment of their
finished product, or to see what their
united work had wrought This Kind sug-
gestion was promptly accepted; notice
was posted in the Estey factories that
they would be closed from s: 30 to 10: 20

The Organ From the orsanIst's Point Of
View.

Mr.. Gibson made this statement of his
estimate of the organ to a representative
of The Phoenix after the recital last even
ing:
Il have had the pleasure OF opening
several hundred organs in the last year.
and of all these this is unquestionably the
very best, both tonally and mechanically.
The voicing in standard points is beyond
criticism, and there are several novelties
totally unknown heretofore in the art of
organ building These stops, such as the
saxophone and the new oboe are a great
addition to the color scheme of the mod
ern organ, being both beautiful in tone
and sympathetic in quality. They have
exquisite blending qualities and are
equally good in chord work and in melody.
The most remarkable feature about them,
however. is their wonderful ability to
stay in tune.
The reeds are superior to the best
French reeds have had the pleasure of
playing during the past year, and the
diapasons are superior to those turned
