Etc, for Composers Heirs.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE returns of the
performances Of Wagner's operas dur
ing the year 1902 show that 'Lohen-
grin" was produced here more times
than any of the masters other works.
1t was given 997 times during the year
in Germany alone. 420 times IN France,
Holland and Italy. and 318 in England
and America. The royalties from the
productions in Germany amounted to
SOS, 900, and the total for all countries

The next most popular opera. Tam
hauser" was given 267 times in Ger
many, and 30 in England, France and
America. the total royalties amounting
to S32. $50
THE Flying Dutchman" came next.
Taking all the royalties paid for the
production of the operas in Germany
and abroad. and the fees paid for the
privilege of singing portions of the
operas in concerts, and the profits from
the sale of scores, it is estimated that
Richard Wagner's works gave his heirs
