horses scoring many popular successes on the turf in Georgetown, Trinidad, and
Barbados, while his promotion of all good causes, including war charities was

SALA - We regret to announce that Mr. George Augustus Sala, the well-known
1895 Dec
writer, died yesterday at Brighton. His health, mentally and physically, had given
way. Difficulties, brought about in good measure by the failure of recent literary
enterprises, had shaken an iron constitution and affected his mind, so that his
friends scarcely recognised in the prostrate invalid the brilliant writer and ready
ever fluent talker. His mother was the daughter of a Demerara planter and a
Brazilian lady, and he hints at having some "Red Indian" blood in her veins. In
her day she had some reputation as a public singer and teacher of music. Mr.
Sala wrote, in two volumes, his Autobigraphy. In a sense he never wrote
anything else. Every page of his voluminous writings is autobiographical, and he
has told at great length the whole story of his life more than once. He was born
on April 24, 1828, in New-street, Manchester-square. His father was the son of
an Italian, who came to England about 1776, and who was concerned in the
management of the King's Theatre, Haymarket. Mr. Sala gives vague
information as to his Italian ancestry. "Anciently, I apprehend, our people were
persons connected with some aula, or Court, but whether as courtiers, clerks,
