of Berlin, and one Of these is the compost
ton of the veritable Beckmesser; but most
OF the Sachs manuscripts are in Zwickau.
In the Bibliotheca Norica Williana. incor-
porated with the Municipal Library Of Nu-
remberg there are several volumes of mas
tersngers' songs, purchased from an old
mastersinger some 135 years ago. and from
these the students may learn the structure
and spirit OF the master songs Of the period
of the opera as we'll as earlier and later
periods though he will find all the instruc-
ton he needs in any dozen or twenty Of
the 426 master songs written by Hans
Sachs. The manuscript books known serve
to prove one thing which needed not to
rave called up doubt. In them are poems
from all of the mastersingers who make up
the meeting which condemns Walther IN
St Catherine Church. Wagner has adhered
to the record. l quote from Wagenseirs
book-he is writing about the history of
the mastersingers: Mach der Stadt Mayntz-
hat in den Staten Nirnberg und Strass-
burg die Meister-Singer- -kunst sonderlich
foriret vie damn auch XII Alte Nuren-
bergische Meister annoch i'm Beruff sind;
so nit Namen geheissen. l. Neit Pogner;
., Cuntz Vogelgesang; 3, Hermann Ortel:
l. Conrad Nachtigal; 3. Fritz Zorn; 6,
SIxtus Beckmesser; Z. Fritz kohtner; S.
Niclaus Vogel; 9. Augustin Moser; 10,
Hannss Schwartz; II, Ulrich Eisslinger; II,
Hannss Foltz" The most interesting Of
Sixtus Beckmesser's compositions which l
have found however. is the one preserved
in the handwriting Of Sachs in the Royal
Library at Berlin. This l have translated
i'll order to show the form Of the old mas
ter songs as described by the apprentice,
David. in Wagner's comedy, and also to
prove $50 far as a somewhat free transla-
ton CAM that the veritable Beckmesser
was not the stupid Ounce that Wagner, for
purposes of his own. and tempted, doubt
less, by the humor which he found In the
name, represented him TO be. In fact, l
am strongly tempted to believe that. With
the exception of Sachs himself. Beckmesser
was the best OF the mastersingers or the
Nuremberg school.

Here we have an exact quotation from the
beginning Of the first Gesets In the Long
Tone of Heinrich Muglin, which has a
tune that every candidate for member
ship In the guild had to be able to sing.
Like Beethoven in his "Ieonore' over
lures, which were written for the opera
"Fidelio." Wagner constructs the SYM
phonic Introduction to his only comedy so
as to indicate the elements OF his dramatic
story, their progress In the DEVELOPMENT O,
the play and, finally, the outcome The
melodies are of two sorts. conforming to
the TWO parties into which the personage,
OF the play can be divided, and, like those
parties, the melodies are broadly distin-
guished In external physiognomy and emo
uonal essence. Most easily recognized are
the two broad march melodies which are
typical OF the mastersingers and their
paseantry. One of these has Just been

do, 81 viste de esta de la otra manera
la gente empieza copiarlo como has
ia ell preesnte sc hizo con Eduardo VII
hasta sus indiscreciones han tenido
eco en- el campo international. Sc han
puesto de moda.
Primero es lord Roberts, generalisi-
mo del ejercito ingles, ell que en- plena
Camara hace manifestaciones que de-
bieron ser fntimas, confidenciales; y
habla de 10 indefensa que estan las cos
tas de Inglaterra de la poslbilldad
de un facil desembarco al amparo de
densa nieve.
No ha perdido lord Roberts su pues-
to por su censurable conducta, pero Ell
credito de sus prestigios ha snfrldo
merma considerable.
.Tambien en- Francia hay su oaffaires
de indiscreciones. Ell vicealmirante
Germinet ha dicho un periodista que
los buques de la escuadra del Medl-
terraneo no estan sufcientemente do
tados que marcharian un desas-
tre en- tempo de guerra.
Ell vicealmirante ha sido relevado IN
mediatamente del mando de la escua-

No son estos solamente los imita-
dores del Emperador Guillermo.

ltendiendose con periodistas, estos so

Ahora lego el turno q Italia y es Ell

llerfa ha recibido orden de reievo y
la prensa italiana lleva y trae de mala
manera al general Mangiagalli.
