THE GLEE CLUB PFC NIC.-The great
Musical jubilee ended yesterday with gathering al
ieseo of the Clubs and invited guests, and the public
at EIm.Groye opposite STykers Bay upon the Bloom
ingdae.road, the former country seat OF Col. Tnorne
Al o'clock In the afternoon, fan in hand and needless
of the threatening showers around the horison, we
stepped upon one OF the hafbour trains detailed for the
purpose at Canalst and projected TO the Picnic
The train was very large, and hundreds Of persons
accompanied US Epelish was an unknown tongue,and
when we aghted Strykers Bay, we might have been
n the vicinity Of the Thier GareH or the inoumeraole
gross gardens Of German towns, for anything that
appeared to the contrary. The swarms OF people
climbed the dusty hill to the dusty road and we passed
by military groups and larger bier drinking groups
and groups astonshed at penny shows, and Tyrolese
j5ding groups and parties in lowered wai'tcoat',
and other parties In carriages and sitting sereney on
the dusty grass by the roadside, until we reached the

and emerged upon the broad, unduating lawn shaded
by noble pine trees, and the elms which give 10
the place. The quaint stately old mansion, Of ante
revolutionary mien, stands sequestered from the noisy
road, and the grounds slope away from Ii all sides
with that variety Of surface and aspect which Is most
proper for such fete.
The scene entirely Unprecedented in our vicinity.
The crowds, disposed in every kind Of grouping and en-
gagged In all Of national amnsements, were
clusvey German. Lsger.bier was de riseur. Several
pens of rough boards inclosed men who did nothing
but draw foamng glasses of beer from piles of barrels
for thirsty brsdz whose capacities rivaled the
