COLD CAUSES CESSATION. (Per Press Association — Copyright.) WELLINGTON, August 12. An organ recital being given by tbe City organist, Mr Bernard Page, at mid-day to-day, had a sudden ending after about an hour, Mr Page being able to continue, lie said, owing to the cold.
He explained to a reporter later that it was not physical discomfort that caused ihim to stop,, but the impossibility of continuing to play with his fingers paralysed by. the cold. The temperature to-dav in the organ loft mas 52 degrees. The 'cold, fed in from outside, made a terrible draught round the organ seat, and, under such conditions, his hands became paralysed by the cold. Mr Page recalled that, on one occasion, some years ago, soon after his arrival in Wellington, he was forced to abandon a recital for the same reason, the weather on that occasion being the same as to-day, with, a cold southerly nvind blowing.
