rnti, one or the other OF the daughters had

I'll the military duties Of a peer of the
realm This is why formerly the crown
sometimes Ignored the elder daughter of a
peer, more especially if her progeny was
restricted to girls, and terminated the
abeyance in favor of the son of one OF her
younger sisters. This question of allegiance
is restricted exclusively to the ancient
English baronies by writ, in which case
alone feminine progeniture counts for moth
ing, although il determines the succession
OF the British crown, and also OF all the
Older Scottish peerages. In fact. where
feminine pri-ncgeniture exists there can be
no allegiance.
II ! have dwelt at some length on this
question of allegiance OF English peerages
it is because it is matter about which
most English people themselves are singu-
larly ignorant and concerning which the
utmost misapprehension prevails.

The first part of Mr.. Walter Damrosch's
programme brought forward the -'Fantas-
tic symphony by BerIioz, which has been
heard three times at concerts of the Phil
harmonic Society this season. and gave a
first hearing in America TO a young Ger
man artist, Erich Ochs, who is seeking to
introduce new instrument Of the vioI
family to public attention. This instru-
ment is the invention of a German musi-
clan named Ritter, who first came into
notice some thirty years ago by construct
ing large type of viola. with five strings
which he called viola alta" and which re-
ceived the enthusiastic Endorsement Of
Wagner. The new instrument, which he
calls viola tenore," proceeds from the
same desire TO supply a want, real or sup
posed, in the family of bowed instruments.
Encouraged by his success in elinninat ting
some OF the mongrel quality which is heard
in the tone of the ordinary viola, Herr Rit-
ter has taken IL upon himself to recon
struct the string quartet. his aim being TO
give a distinct quality, like that possessed
by human voices, to the instruments Of
the string band.
He gives the second voice. ha btually al
lotted to 2 violin. 70 his viola alta: the
bass to the ordinary violoncello, and for the
third has constructed this tenor viol which
seems 10 have the relative proportions of
c. violin. but is only a trihe shorteriand
narrower than a violoncello. II is. how
ever, much shallorer than the latter in
strument. It Is strung with four strings
tuned TO the tones of those Of the violin.
but an octave lower. II responds with re-
markabls freedom, has greater briliancy
than the ordinary viola, though its manip-
ulation is moro difficult, since it is played
in the manner of the violonce1lo. But its
voice lacks the languorous. sensuous pas
sionate charm peculiar to the violonceIlo.
II is, however. not expected to take the
place of the latter instrument, but TO fill
the gap between it and the alto viola. AS
a solo instrument it's music will have to be
adapted from other sources, and perhaps
the best of it will be found in the old COM
positions written for the viola da gambia
the ''vio-de- gamboys' which Sir Andrew
Ague-Cheek could play-though this instru-
ment must have had wider range of Mt
terance, since it had six strings Mr..
Ochs, who played yesterday to the piano
forte accompaniment of Mr.. Damrosch.
made use of a Sara band by Bach and
Cavatna by Saint-Saens. His performance
was tasteful and sound in style. but it was
obvious that tho audience did not quite
know what 10 make of the instrument.
Before the Brahms symphony Mr.. Dam
rosch carried a magnificent laurel wreath
upon the platform and explained that it
had been sent by Sir Edward ElgaI as a
tribute to the memory of Mr.. Sanford.
The performance OF the symphony was
eloquent and beautiful. II. E. X.

Aside from the two vocal numbers sung
at the Philharmonic concert by Pasquale
Amato (Wotan's farewell to Brunnhilde
from Die Walkre' and Hans Sachs's
n7onologue. VAIN! Wahn.' from Die
Neistersinger') the programme contained
the ''kaisermarsch,' Zine Faust Ouver-
ture," the "Siegfried Idyl,' the prelude to
Die Meistersinger' and overture to Tam
hauser." The last two pieces nave figured
several times in the societys lists this sea-
son. but the first three received their first
performance at the hands of the orchestra
under the direction of Mr.. Mailer. They
were vtvidly read with fine elasticity of
melodic contour, broad sweep. much
warmth OF color and poeticai distribution
of nuances- Signor Amato sang, to the
obvious delight of the audience, though with
not so advantageous an exhibition of his
admirable qualities as he makes in italian
opera. His German diction is rcry faulty.
as all operagoers know who have heard
him in Tristan und Isolde yet he shows
a large sympathy for the music of the Ger
man master.
