\ Great Musical Instrument.

Saturday last it was announced that
the great organ, sometime expected by
the membership and congregation of the
First NJ. E. Church, had arrived, and
during several days this week it has been
in transit from cars to church.
1t was built especially for the church
edltice, measurements and other adapta-
tions having been taken for that purpose
Otherwise it is technically described as
follows:
This Organ was constructed at the factory
of the Estey Organ Company, Brattlcboro,
Vermont
Its dimensions are 20 feet 10 inches wide,
~ feet high, Is feet deep.
1t is enclosed in beautiful case of black
walnut, surmountcd by pipes, and richly
decorated, to harmonic with church fresCo.
The action is pneumatic, making the
touch OF the full organ as light as a piano.
The pedal movements bring the organ
under complete control of the organist
The organ is noteworthy for unusual
features of VOiClng and action. The fOunda-
ton stops are of large scale giving full, bold
tone; the flute work is characterized by
great delicaCy and brilliancy, while the
String-tOned stops are wonderful limitations
of the instrument they represent. The
whole blends into full organ power,
dignity and brillianCy.
The organ contains all modern improve
ments of assured value.
Watermelon operates the feeders, and
its wind supply and distribution are perfect

perfection to which organ building is add

Waynesboro (Pa.) NemS, as follows:
The Organ Recital at the NJ. f. Church
last night was musical event which will
be very long remembered by those who had
the good fortune to be present The pro-
gram included works of the great masters,
and We're rendered with exquisite expression
and faultless execution. Mrs Green's work
was revelation to all who had not before
heard her. Her conception of the numbers
was that of the artst-her performance
brllliant-her technique was of the highest
order-eyery number was faultlessly given.
