ORGAN WITH A HISTORY
The organ in St. Mary's Church, Edge Hill, Liverpool, England, which is being repaired, ~is a link with the j Napoleonie wars. A French frigate was captured and brought into Portsmouth Harbour as a prize. When its cargo was examined the parts of an organ were discovered. These were acquired by Edward Mason, founder J of the church of St. Mary, who was j popularly known as the "King of Edge Hill." He caused the parts to be assembled and the organ was erected in the church more than 100 years ago. Considerable additions have been made to it since, but it still ! oecupies its original position in the west end. '
