~ The Measure Of performing Die Wakure'' be-
fore audience gathered specifically to see and
hear this music drama may fairly be measured by
the number and the enthusiasm Of the spectators
then those concerned in last nights performance At
the Metropolitan Opera House had every right to be
happy After the first act OF this. the second chap
ter Of The Ring Of the Nlbelung. had peen
brought 10 a glorious climax under the compelling
leadership of Mr.. Hertz, there was demonstration
so sincere and so nsistent. by the fine asEemolsSe
in the theatre not vestige of doubt was left
Of the depth TO which the music and its presenta-
ton had stirred the hearers. There was another
expression of appreciation and delight after the
second act while the conductor received a speCia.
tribute Of his own. Such was the spirit that ami
mated the performance of Die Walkure' last
evening and by every discernible sign the same
enthusiasm bids fair 70 heighten the potency OF
the two remaining Ring dramas in the current
series.
While chief honors last evening must be awarded
to Mr. Hertz for the splendid impulse and energy
he impaired the orchestra and 70 the other
forces under his control. there was much to enjoy
in the presentations of certain Of the singers Mr..
Soomers Wotan had weight and power in large
measure, and his singing never without beauty
of tone Mr.. Antilles achieved more OF the vlrility
Of Segmund In his acting than in the quality Of his
voice, which too certain in attack and
was sadly deficient in sensuous warmth He made
much Of the sword episode in Hunding's hut, and
he was intelligent throughout Miss MOreTas
SegIinde was tender in spirit and Of uncommon
loveness to the eye. She sang always with
sympathetic insight. though the great outburst Of
Act III had not the cmactic intensity that could
have been wished OF Nine Gadski's Brjnnhide.
It is enough to say that her temperance in this
familiar role showed her at her best. which means
that voice action she was admirable. Mr.
Hinckey's Hunding had the requisite heaviness.
and Nine Kaschowska was competent Fricka.
For the sake Of consistency, the Watraute last
night was Nine. Homer. who will personate the
same character in "C;otterdammerung' Satur-

senble of the VaIkyr choir effective.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In to-dav's Tribune there is an editorial
on our new 90 000-ton Dreadnoughts and their
armament. in which appears incorrect statement
The names of the two ships referred 10 the
Arkansas and the Wyoming not the Utah and the
Florida which 81. o0O-ton ships and sisters of
the Delaware and the North Dakota, now building
The principal for the armament OF these
&c. OO0-ton ships Of ours being the same O2-inch)
as the 9O0Oton Brazilian ships. is that the seven
thousand tons additional weight is taken up mostly
in increase In length, that our six turretS
could be mounted on the centre line. So. while the
Brazilian ships appear strong as ours, they are
not. for they can only fire guns broadside
thaving wing turretsJ to our twelve and 1t Is
broadside fire that counts. Then. as you say, our
vessels q little heavier armored The British
St Vincent and Vanguard only have ten 12-inch
guns, and even the 2O.25O-ton Neptune, completing
a squadron of eight Dreadnoughts for England, has
only that number. but probably disposed so that
all may fire broadside. In the eight new ships
to be laid down by England. we may look for larger
displacement, twelve 12's. and an entirely new de-
sign HAROLD NJ KENNARD.
Brooklyn. April 3, 1909.
TMr Kennard has our thanks for correcting
what a slip of the pen in naming the 26ooo-
ton battleships about to be built for the United
States The reason he gives for providing the.
Arkansas and the Wyoming with only two more
guns than the Dreadnought carries, in spite or
a difference of more than 5000 tons in displace-
ment. is plausible to say the least The Ameri-
government has aimed at such an arrange
ment of its guns ships of the new type that
all Of them be brought to bear in broadside
fire. That arrangement is made possible only
by placing all of the turrets on the centre line
of the ship, and thus departing from the prece-
dent established by the original Dreadnought-
The Brazilian ships follow the British prototype
To accommodate twelve guns therefore. the de-
signers of the Arkansas and the Wyoming evil

TARIFF ON HOSE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The change in tariff increases the duty
on the very small quantity of infants socks that
are now imported to retail at Is cents a pair
from the present duty Of 120 per cent (Which
surely seems sufficient to l62 per cent and on
ladies' misses and mems hose. to retail for -
cents from % per cent Uhe present duty) 10 -
IF cent the proposed duty. On all hosiery 10
retail from 10 cents a pair UP and on all kinds
OF silk hosiery the duty is not changed. or. in
other words remains at So per cent on expensive
cotton hose and 50 per cent on silk hose. SO this
nroposed bill adds an excessive duty to the kinds
Of hose worn by the poor and medium classes. and
allows the rich people TO buy their stockings at
the same old price.
