 GREAT COMPOSER Remains of Sir Arthur Sullivan
 Laid to Rest
IMPOSING CERE MONIES
Was Attended With All the Pomp Which Might Have Been Be- slowed on Member of the
 Royal Family.

London, November H.-With all the pomp and ceremony which might have attended the obseQuieS of member of a royal fam fly, the remains of Sir Arthur Sullivan, who died here Thursday last, were inferred in St. Pauls Cathedral today.
 Long before the hour fixed for the first portion of the services in the Chapel Royal, immense crowds assembled in the vicinity of the late residence of the deceased, while every point of vantage around St. Pauls was taken up hours prior to the arrival of the cortege. The immense crowds lining the route traversed by the procession testi- fled to the widespread sympathy of the pub lie, while both the Chapel Royal and St. Paurs were filled to their capacity with privileged ticket holders
 The Queen, Emperor William of Germany, the Prince of Wales and other royalties were represented, while the musical and dramatic world attended in large numbers. The presence of J. H. Choate, the United States ambassador, and other diplomats, and numerous Americans, including the Countess of Essex and Mrs. Ronalds, test- fled to the international position held by the dead composer.
 The coffin was embedded in magnificent floral tributes sent from far and near in such numbers that they filled four hearses. At the entrance of the chapel in ambassa- dors' court the body was met by the pall- bearers Sir Squire Bancroft-Bancroft, the actor-manager; Frederick Bridge, the or ganist of Westminster Abbey; Alexander Campbell Mckenzie, principal of the Royal Academy of Music; Sir George Henry Lewis, the well-known lawyer; Sir J. Stainer, inspector of music to the education department; Sir George Clement Martin, organist of St. Paups Cathedral; Lieuten- ant Colonel Arthur Collins general usher to the Queen, and Francois Collier, the composer.
 The clergy and the full choir of the Chapel Royal were attired in their historic robes of scarlet and gold and the remains were borne up the aisle of the effectively draped chapel behind the choir chanting the plaintiye, opening services of the burial service The whole service was most im- pressive and the anthems were especially mournful The audience displayed deep emotion as the strains of the anthem, Yet, Though I Walk from Sullivan's Light of the World" resounded> through the sacred edifce
 The preliminary service ended the process sion reformed and proceeded to St. PauPs Cathedral along Pail Mall, the Thames em- bankment and Ludgate Hill A large crowd gathered and the men took off their hats as the hearSe passed.
 St. Paul's Cathedral was crowded, and during the long wait the band of the Scotts Guards played ChopiRs and Beethoven's dead marches while from the organ pealed Mendelssohn's tribute to the dead.
 On the broad steps of the cathedral the dean and chapter of St. Paurs and the white-robed choiristers surrounded by thou sands of spectators met the procession. As the great doors flew open the sunlight streamed in and the voices of the choir, strong and sweet, broke the solemn silence which had prevailed up to that time throughout the cathedral.
 In 8 coffin almost hidden beneath wreaths of flowers the remains were borne up the aisle until they reached the chancel steps,
