The following interesting sketch Of
the late Sir Arthur Sulliyan's life, la
bors, appears in the New York Herald:
At a moment when the revival In
London and New York Of the famous
Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas has
shown that their popularity was more
than ephemeral and that their charm
may long exert its sway the creator
Of their graceful music has passed
from the scene. Never was there a
better instance Of the apt matching Of

steal form, Of wedding TO witty lam

their pieces "a permanent place In the
musical development Of the nineteenth

Sir Arthur Sullivan was early ac-
quainted with the principles Of orches-
tratlon. His father was a professor at

ton to coin dollars for their managers.
While here they conducted themselves
