ON HIS DEATH-BED.
COMPOSER CONDUCTS A CONCERTO. By ToleEraDh—Press Aesociation—Conyrizht (Rec. October 13, 5.5 p.m.) London, October 12. Sir Walter Parratt, Professor of Musio at Oxford University, narrates how the lata Mr. Coleridge Taylor completed his violin concerto, which has just been produced at the Queen's Hall. When dying, he sat up in bed, and conducted the whole concerto, imagining an orchestra before him, and ending by bowing thrice to an imaginary audience. [The recent death of Mr. Coleridgfc Taylor has removed from tho ranks of contemporary composers a notable personality. His "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" and "Death of Minnehaha" have frequently been performed in Wellington, whilo his "Songs of Japan" are at present being rehearsed by the Royal Wellington Choral Society.]
