It |eems to have been a. case of tem- peramental incompatibility. as th- ychOUIRIYSiS would say. wu- schwenke Gilbert was butc- Qffig brusquc. distant; Arthur seymour Sullivan was urbane. polite. and. in spite of his unfor- tunate initials, was a general faiorite. In person the contrast W55 a; great: Gilbert was tall and "high-domed" as one observer states; while Sullivan was "short ind plumplsh" and after the man- ner of the clay, affected "side- ns" a monccic. In the musical world the oornposer began m be regarded as a lost leader; in his own mind was a yearning to devote his genius to the composi- ticn of oratorlos and the severer fonns of classical music: but his youth had been passed in such pqyefLy that the immediate lin- mdai gain, though frown music which he looked u as frivolous. was $00 99111131112 be lightly re- lected. These men had now worked out s, scheme of collaboration to which we can only apply the term odd, since it was for the most part carried on through the mail. Gil- bert would think up the plot. (of- ten based upon his earlier "Bah Ballads”), writc the_ verses, and then. after “licking it into shape", would perhaps send ‘s. whole act to his (D-WOTKOX‘. Sullivan would be- gin by familiarizing himself with the rhythm of tho verses. using it is said, a system of dots and dashes- grid only whenhc had mastered it would he exercise his ingenuity on a melody suitable to the words. when the melody was settled on, the orchestration was rapidly com- plated, and the finished work re- turned to Gilbert, who rarely had to return it for alteration. When presented to the audience, the peflectlon of the work seemed the result of close and intimate colla- boration, while at the time the col- laboratis. as likel as not, were scarcely on mi terms! At the risk of ge ting ahead of my story here is an anecdote which throws some light on their relu- iions. When DTJYIQY Citric revived one of their earlier works-the Soi'cerer—in 1898, the two men were in the theatre. In response to calls for the author and the com- poser, they advanced from o positc sldCs of the stage. bowed the audience, and retired without a gluncc at each otherl Nor did =~ van eve-r again set eyes on his v-worker; he died two years Chi fcll l:.l.r. The “Pirates of Pcnzanoe” was produced in 1879; and in it G11- brrt had a fling at the iii-my. 1n this instance the collaborators pcckctcd their dislike for the time being and came across to New York with the object of protecting their rights and curbing the "mracy" to which their work was subjected. The opera. was pro- duced in that city undcr their supervision. and the audience was reported by one newspaper as "delirious". so we may sugpose the opera to have been hig ly cessfuli Probably it was soon a!- ter this initial performance that Professors Earle and Vinnicombe gave a performance of "the Pirates." in Charlottetown, with the aid of local talent.

In effect 1|. was related that the first rsiluiay for passengers was opened in Britain in i827, that the pace xvas so slow and the journey so long, that pass- engers were allowed off the train at intervals to buy sandwich; to avoid starvation. and that ‘butch- ers’ were allowed, shortly after- wards, to sell the toothsome viands on the trains. As a matter of fact, Smiles (he of the “Self-help", a book fam- ous in its day) gives in his "Lives of the Engineers" a true account of the first railway which differs in several respects from that given above. The first railroad in Bri- tain was between the rt of Stock- ton and the mining wn of Dar- ilngton. both in the south of Coun- ty Durham; the distance was about twelve miles; and the date of iifi Dnrllngtcii; the train arrive. At Brusselton, some miles away. was "Locomo- tive No, 1," with George Stephen- son, the inventor, a5 driver- therdi on flour; next a covered wagon for the directors and proprietors; with passengers; and lastly six more wagons filled with coal. As this long procession was only thought capable of four to six miles an hour. it was headed by a horseman bearing a. banner in- scribed "Pericululm privatum util- itas publlcai’. But Stephenson opened the throttle, the speed rose to fifteen miles per hour, and the horseman then decided he'd carricd his pcriculum privatum far enough, and got out of the way. At Deir- lington it was found that 450 peo- ple were in the wagons!

The vase was filled with dried rose-petals well sprinkled with salt, to pre- serve them. When visitors called the lid was lifted alld the room was filled with the Perfume of bygone summers.

No malice of this kind is to be found in "Cranford" by Mrs. Gaskell: the ladies of that little country town’ had their foibles brought to light by the author, but is done in such kindly fashion that they thsmsolvcs must have smiled as thcv rcnd.

To obvlaic this danger, mulch the beds with some material that iwlll not mat. down soldlly, such as oak leaves pine needles, or fresh ‘ straw.

As they got the farm work going and learned how to make a living from small fruits and poultry, they be- gan to study the wild life around them. They bceume especially in- terested in t-he so-called game bligds, pheasants, quail and part- r r; es. In the fall, city nunicrs came into the region and for several weeks the i: nosphere of the coun- tryside was spoiled. Instead of peace and loveliness, there was the noise of guns.

In the win- ter they established several feed- ing stations on their rroperiy where they fed the corn and buckwheat which they raised.

As a result of this Exhibition which has been held two years. 1937 and 1938, interest has increased in Montague and vicinity Ind I bet- ter knowledge of what constitufcs the most desirable kinds of foxu has been engendered. King's County foxmen and others who can attend should visit Montague, one of the most, attractive towns in this Pm- vince, during fox show week. Dates for Alberton and Borden fox shows have not been announ- ced as y-et but no doubt these popu- lar fox features will go on and be quite as successful as in other years . Honorable W. H. Dennis, Min- ister of Agriculture, has announced that the grading of fox herds for ranchers will be continued the same as last fall. Parties who desire to avail themselves of this service should notify the Depart- ment on or before next Pride so that arrangements can be m o to take care of them. This grading under fox Fieldirnsn W. F.

On the other hand if they brought less the Government would assume the loss. Under the present wur conditions some such steps are necessary and fox breeders are entitled in a break as the wheat farmers have been guaranteed a price of eighty cents and the apple growers of Nova Scotia are being taken care of through the purchase by the Gov- ernment of two million barrels of nipples. The neat feature of the co-operative scheme would be that lr would mean orderly marketing. The fur pools or fur agencies who would handle the pelts would have no incentive to flood the markets but could continue s very even dis- tribution. The committee which are representing the fox breeders’ case is a strong one and we have no doubt that some satisfactory ar- rangement will result. Fur Trade Weekly of New York in its October 5th issue states that correspondents from lnndon say that since the declaration of war practically all l\‘." skins have ad- vanced anywhere from 15 to 20 per cent compared with summer prices. Of course this takes into consid- eration the depreciation in the rate of sterling exchange and the icnd- cncv for merchants to hold on to their stock in anticipation of a shortage later on. New York has bought considerable silver fox and Persian lamb and these purchases {have been shipped on different ves- what extent London can continue to maintain the international chur- acter of the market under war con- ditions.

Their requirements have always been filled from London and he says that if connection could be made direct from Canada. there is every reason to believe good busi- ness would result.
