The critics comment on the strangenesa ol the sensation of listening again to the correct slow Gentian tempi, aisd of witnessing again all the organised gestures of the Wagiierion drama; hut limy agree that the performance was most noteworthy. One goes so far as to say tliab there must have been a vocal as wed as a, political revolution in Germany, for tho stuncitin'! is higher Ihau ever. -A. find N.Z. Cable.
