repairs. Not only had comparatively littlo been spent on it in upkeep during the twenty years it had been in use, but the alternate excess of humidity and dry ness inseparable from the dimilleof Hongkong (one of the worst in the world for musical instruments) had also done serious damage Early in 1909 & repres sentative of Messrs Walker & Sons came out to do work for that firm, elsewhere, and advantage was taken of the on portunity to have the Cathedral Organ placed in a good state of repairs. For various reasons it was not at that time possible to carry out all the alterations, repairs and improvements which were much to be desired, but none the less a great deal of work was done, and, above all, the foundations of a scheme which bad as its ultimate object the bringing of this fine instrument entirely up to date, both tonally and mechanically, were laid the benefit of which is only row being felt Amongst some of the im provements effected at this time were the bracketing out of part of the Great organ over the choir arches, the removal of thuo Choir Dulciana to the Great (the old Twelfth being discarded), the addition of two new Pedal soundboards and of two extra compostion pedals.
The work of re-construction has been one of very exceptional difficulty, and the greatest credit is due to Mr. Blackett for the skilful and conscientious way in which he has carried it out.
