Long Lost Score of ''RuIe Britannia
Found in England.

The long lost score of Wagner's
Rule Britannia has at last been
found. This juvenile overture was the
only thing written by him during the
year he spent at Konigsberg, and was
intended as tribute to the English
people.
Apparently he took it along to Lon
don at the time when he had planned
to seek his fortune in Paris. Apparent
", too, it came into the possession, in
some unexplained way, of an English
musician named e. w. Thomas, who
was conductor of the Leicester opera
house band and also a prolific COM
poser. He, however, fell on evil days,
and the contents of his house in the
Thunderstorm Road, Leicester, were
sold on, including all his music, the
quantity of which may be imagined
from the fact that his manuscripts
more than filled a large truck. They
were all bought by Mr.. Cyrus BERTHE
Gamble some time prior to 1892; for
in October of that year Thomas died
utterly broken in workhouse in
North Wales at the age 70. Since then
a considera bic portion of the music
has been stored away as comparative
ly useless. Recently, however, Mr..
Gamble happened to be looking
through the pile of manuscripts, when
he CHANGED on one which bore the
title Rule Britannia Overture" The
rest of the story is thus related by the
Leicester correspondent of the Lon
don Times:
'On looking through It's TOrIy-one
pages 70 see how the subject had been
treated (as he at first imagined) by
Thomas, he was surprised to find that
it was scored for no fewer than thirty
one instruments, and on reaching the
last page he discovered its authors
name in the margin, written as fol-
lows:
I" Richard Wagner, den Is MARI,
1887, Konigsberg in Preussen.'
Mr.. Gamble has submitted the
manuscript to musical experts, and
thinks there can be no doubt of the

vices of a Claquer.
The chief claquer of the Coincide
Franchise in Paris has received a pen
sion of $3.50 a year, says the London
Chronicle. That is not very much,
and yet it would strike the English
playgoer as a large sum- because he
imagineS that the claquer is not to be
found in London theaters. But it is
The claquer is given tickets which he
distributes to certain people who love
the drama and who he knows will
applaud, and, what is more, applaud
in the right place.
His business is mainly connected
with music hall managers and with
variety artists. Foreigners, to whom
applause is as necessary as their
the continent, and when they come to
London they call on him, and saying
that they have been engaged at such
and such a hall, ask him to provide a
guarantee of a certain amount of pub

who are too poor to pay for seat in

and he gives them a pass on condition
that they applause the artists in
whom he is interested. The foreign
ers are mainly Italians or French
Swiss. They applaud the turns the
claquer selects, and at the close have
not only witnessed an enjoyable enter
tainment, but are often in pocket
But the claquer does not arrange
for applause for bad performers. The
public would not follow the lead of
his boys" and this might damage his
business. With a good artist you can
stir an apathetic audience by Judi
ctously arranged applause, but no
power on earth will induce the Lon
don public to appreciate a poor or a
vulgar turn.
The occupants of stalls in the lead
ing variety theaters. such as the EN-
p1re, Alhambra and Palace, do not
applaud so heartily as those who pa
tronize the gallery. Even in the reg
uIar theaters one cannot help observ-
ing that the stalls are the coolest sec

very unpleasant to the actors and GER
