And his composition was:

Nice idea, but the methods are far too dull for my taste, 
and the frontworks are pretty lacking in music.  There's one 
run off the front in each lead of Hull, two (next to each 
other at a dodge) in Battersea, and none in Norwich. 
Surely it must be possible to find methods which are both 
more interesting and more musical?
