A London letter to the Dramatic NeWs has
the following regarding the falling out of
Gilbert and Sullivan:
The link which bound together the persons of
Mr.. w. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan was
generally deemed as unbreakaOle as the one
which joined the fateS of the Siamese twin
brothers. Therefore the tale which is being
spread by London gossip about the cause OF
the split must be accepted with some caution:
Imagine such quarrel after the association OF
years, being only about 4 carpet,
Il appears that the Gilbert and Sullivan part
ncrShip Was run on q sharing system. All eX.
penses were charged against the receipts, and
the balance OF profit was divided in liked pro
portion between the composer (Sir Arthur Sui
livan), the author Mr.. W. S. Gilbert, aud the
manager (Mr D'Oyly Carte). During MIR. Gil
bert's recent indian tour Mr., Carte bought
! some new carpets that were required for the
business. Mr. Gilbert came back from India
and objected to the expense. Mr., Carte. as
| manager, justified it, but Mr. Gilbert remained
furious. The result was great quarrel be-
tween Mr. Gilbert and Mr.. Carlo. Mr. Gilbert
appealed to Sir Arthur Sullivan, who was
equally interested in the matter. Sir Arthur
did not want TO quarrel with Mr. Carte, or any
one else. He declined to quarrel with Mr.. Carte.
! Consequently he got into quarrel with Mr..
| Gilbert. And the result is well known.
II is now rumorcd that Mr.. Gilbert will col
| laborate with Mr.. Alfred Collier. II so, they
viii commence their Joint precautions with the
new comic opera for the opening OF tue Lyric
under Mr.. Horace Scdgcr's management.
Sir Arthur Sullivan has retired TO the country
| and is.dcyoting his.energies to "iTanhoe," the
grand opera with which Mr.. D'Oyly Carte IN
tends opening his new theatre on SALISBURY
Christmas. although October was the date
originally fixed. Mr.. Ben Davis has been en-
gagged to play the chiel tenor part, and the
services of Miss Esther Pallisser, u recent i'm
portation from Paris, have also been secured
for leading role.
1t was reserved for the Illustrated World
of San Francisco t. bring forward the
most unmitigated scrub and the densest
ass who ever posed Us a correspondent
from Salt Lake. He evidently attended
the recent festival in the Tabernacle, but
was probably made to buy ticket, and
smarting under the sense of his obscurlty
he wrote to his paper one of the most as
founding and raScally ebullitions that ever
emanstcd from the pen of sewer reporter.
He says the whole thing was ''fizzle, y
insults MIR. Stephens, ridicules Mr.. Rad
cliffe's organ solo, ignores the magnificent
chorus altogether and has some
sighting words about Mr. Young
, and Miss Bayliss. 1t would be genuine
, charity to suppose that the writer was
, drunk when he wrote, but if the illustrated
