Arthur Sullivan is said to be patching up his quarrel with W. S. Gilbert, and another comic opera collaboration may result. Sullivan, who gets a taste of gambling from the Hebrew blood, and likes to be ‘ in with the swells,’ has taken to the turf as a horse-owner, and has dropped his jingling guineas thus far. The other day he had two horses going for a race, sold one of them privately to Blundell Maple and declared to win with the other, whereupon the discarded animal came in first, whilst the esteemed stable companion finished second. Sullivan retired to the saadling-pad-dock and composed a dirge.
