TOWN HALL GAIN.

i - (To the Editor. , . ''• ! Sir.—Being one .of many who are enthusiastic regarding pood organ music, il would like rf possible to arouse, ', through the medium of .your paper, the attention of our City Council and the music-loving citizens to what would be an opportunitr of hearing our beautiful . organ played by an artist recognised by those competent to judge as beinsr a recitsHst of more than ordinary ability. T refer to • Mr. Bernard Page, who is here aa organist to Dame Clara Butt. I .am a stranger -to Mr. Page, but have heard him play on several occasions, and if he could be prevailed upon to give 5 one or more recitals here it wonM enable j ] us to hear the city organ to advantage, j jTo m.y knowledge several orsatiists of ' note have visited our city during the! past few years, but. for some petty rea- j son they were allowed to pass-on. .As an : instance. Dr. Haigh, one of. the foremost of England's pre?ent-day reeitalists. This gentleman has been here twice during recent years, '.-.ut we were.not given the opportunity of -hes-'ng the Town Hall I ortran played by one who' cniild adequately display it!? I'-enntie?. I tnißt pome effort wiPhe made to ssrranffe with Mr. Paec. Even pii afternoon recital would attract a lars-« T»-r-mh<»r of enthusiasts.—! am. etc.. B SHARP, j j
