The organ has been rebuilt and enlarged by Mr Arthur Hobday. The old tracker action has been replaced by tubular pneumatic action —the latter being much less susceptible to atmospheric changes. An extra keyboard or manual, named the Grand Organ, has baen added, als.o about 300 new pipes. Preparation has also been made for further additions in the pipes to the requiremants of a larger church. The dedication of the enlarged organ will take place this evening, and at the conclusion a recital will be given by the organist, Mr H. S.
