SIR ARTHUR SULLIVANS
FUNERAL MOST IMPRESSIVE.

ST. Paul's and the whitooobed choristers,
surrounded by thousands of spectators,
met the procession. AS the great doors
were opened the sunlight streamed in
and the voices OF the choir broke the
solemn silence which prevailed up to lat
time throughout the cathedral.
Standing on CT Mrs, the vast congrega-
uon strained every nerve to get glimpse
OF the coffin, which was almost hidden be-
meath wreaths OF flowers. The remains
were borne UP the aisle until they reach
ed the chancel steps, directly beneath the
dome. There a catafalque had been erect
ed on the edge of the narrow opening
which led TO the crypt.
After the mourners, who had come
from the Chapel Royal, were seated, the
dean commenced the service. Sir John
Stainor led the choir I'm singing a selec-
ton from "The Light OF the World"
Archdeacon Sinclair read the latter part
of the service and then the coffin was
lowered into the crypt.
The benediction was solemnly given by
the dean and then there occurred what
has never before been heard in ST. Pauls.
Fifty women, all dressed I'm the deepest
black and the same number of men gath
cred near teh coffin, arose from their
knees They were the chorus OF the Sa-
voy Theatre. In trembling tones they
sang Sullivans Brother, Thou Art Gone
Before Us"
As this died away the organ took UP
the majestic strains of the Dead March
from Saul" the choir, clergy and mourn
ers filed out and one of the most impress
sive national funerals held In England
came to an end.
The vault which contains the remains
of Sir Arthur Sullivan is placed in the
extreme eastern corner OF the crypt.
