Sir Arthur Sullivan, one of the best-known
and most admired of modern composers, has
had particularly brilliant career. His father
was enthusiastic musician who for many
years held the position OF bandmaster at the
Royal Military College, Sandhurst. The child
early gave evidence of the talent he possessed
and which Mr.. Sullivan carefully fostered,
taking him every day with him to the re-
hearsals. Incredible it may seem, little
Arthur had barely reached the age of years
when he was thoroughly acquainted with and
could play every wind instrument with the
exception of two. Sir George Smart took great
interest in him, and with his assistance the
boy was admitted to be one OF the Children OF
the Chapel Royal, ST. james, on singing with
sweet, pure voice "With Verdure Ciad," ac-
companying himself on the piano. In 1856
he won the Mendelssohn scholarship. When
his voice broke he went to Leipsic, where he
studied under Hauptmann, Moscheles, etc.

ton of his acceptance that his rank should be
as high as that OF the professors.
Sir Edward Reed, who has been putting the
roller boat Ernest Bazin through its PAGES in
harbor at Havre, reports very favorably on the
vessel. He attributes the want of success in
this model to want OF steam-power and linn
tied size, but considers the principle estab-

apprehension in the newspapers as to why the

there was no room for it.
Austin Collaher, the old boyhood friend of

positive proof of his desire to conciliate the
Peles by granting permission for the erection
OF monument to the memory Of Adam Mic

to the Polish sculptor GodebskI, who received
his art education i'll Paris, and whose talent
