MUSIC.
DIE MEISTERSINGER. E"

Wagner's comedy was given last evening for the
third time this season at the Metropolitan Opera
House, but under circumstances that made the
performance differ materially from those heard be-
chiefly in the participation OF the brothers De
Reszke; but there was. besides, spirit aninating
the whole that had been In evidence in the
seasons previous performances of Die Meister-
singer" and that made IT instinct with life and
energy, redoent of the bourgeois German hurnor
and heariness that Wagner wished to express in IT,
1t approached that is TO say, 70 the ideals
that NeW-York cherishes of the comedy than many
OF the performances that have been heard here in
recent years. Those ideals were implanted in the
old days of the German regime when the forces
that co-operated at the Metropolitan were more In
harmony with the Wagnerian purposes in lyric
drama. and they have never been effaced. however
high the enjoyment that has been given by single
features OF later repetitons.
Mr.. Edouard de Reszke sang Hans Sachs last
evening for the first time in German His I'M
personation in the days when the drama was given
in Italian is well remembered II has gained large

language that is native TO 1t is potent factor in
its Improvement; but he has enriched it with de-
tail and aceentuated it's characteristic qualities
There is still something TO be desired in it before

sympathetic characters of Wagner's creation Mr.

beautiful music that is given him to sing reiocfn-

Mr. HOLMES on THE PASSION PLAY.

At paly's Theatre yesterday afternoon Burton
Holmes gave the last lecture Of his present course
on .Oberammergau in 1900" Although the last
lecture of the course, il was not given yesterday
for the last time 1t will be repeated at the same
place this afternoon and Mendelssohn Hall TO-
morrow and Thursday evenings. Mr. Holmes
lecture was a straightforward account OF Ooer-
ammergau. ;ts people and its play. unemoelhshed
with the picturesque lies wherewith most lecturers
on the subject seem irresIstbly moved 20 adorn
their accounts 1t has never been satisfactorily eN-
planned why going to Oberammergau makes liars or
most men any more than why going hShinS has
the same result but the result is Just as conspcu-
Gus in the one in the other and it is pleas
ant therefore to record that Mr.. Holmes is truthful
The rigid restraints which placed on the taxing
of photographs In the Passion Theatre were a
trouble to Mr.. Holmes in providing the hlustra-
tions for his lecture. The restraints are highly
commendable. and are rightly enforced, but IL is
pity that the official photographs. which Mr. Holmes
or anybody else can buy. are so poor. Because
the official photographs are neither exclusive nor
good Mr. Holmes showed comparatively few views
OF the play itself and Of the village and the
people and the surrounding country These are
really of great interest. and Mr. Holmes was
able to make them for himself they We're much
better than the pictures of the play In the play

really brilliant. but harmonious. Some OF the views
of scenery in the neghborhood of the village were
especially beautiful
