and Schachter. Then for gymnastics
and the amusing scenes that followed were
decidedly side-splitting. Only a few--a very
few-of our gallant fre-boys had ever had
the least experience in that line; and as a very
natural consequence, there was many-a-fall
and many-a-ridiculous-position but every
round OF good-natured laughter was followed
by round of lager beer, so that mrth and
hilarity reigned supreme.
Next came a grand rush for the ballroom
tent; and just such stag dance" was never
danced before. Pen can't describe it-lan-
guage would fail if the pen wouldn't 1t was
a quadrllle, and half the dancers "hoored"
then lager A polka, and all hands poked
into convulsions of mirth-then lager. A
schottische, composed of hand-springs and
somersaults-then lager. A waltz-suct a
waltz-and all hands waltzed up to the bar
for lager. So it went, until the " fire BOYS"
came back and stormed every exhiliaratng
shop" in town. They tried how much fun
they could have, and vastly exceeded their
own expectations!
la the evening, the party again assembled.
The attendance was much larger than at any
previous time. A large number of ladies
were present, and the dance continued during
the night We are never disposed to bestow
compliments, but it would be gross injustice
not to say that the grace of the German
ladies in the ball room called forth universal
commendaton from the immense thronr of
outsiders" present. 1t was a gaa-night,
and right merry did it pass As many "out-
slders' as desired, were admitted to the ball
room; and all agreed that the German ladies
and gentlemen exhibited towards them the
most gallant and generous bearing. They
were freely permitted to join in the festivities
OF the occasion; and we observed that a
number of the boys appeared peculiarly hap
py while being whirled through the misty
mazes of the waltz" by some German belle
whose superior "balance" preserved them from
an inglorous sprawl upon the dancing floor.
A number of our most tstimable American
ladies were present as spectators and enjoyed
themselves to an unlimited extent 1t was
new to them, but there was naught to offend
the strictest propriety or the most delicate
modesty. We are only sorry that the atten-
dance of this class of persons was not more
general; because we know that all would
have been pleased and amused and we know
that all ideas OF any real indelicacy at Ger
man May Festivities would have been effect
ually dissipated.
1t is proper to say that extraordinary good
order was preserved throughout. Our Off
GERS were present to quel any disturbance
that might occur; but it was only necessary,
in few individual instances, for them to re-
mind the "oer joyed" that ladies were present
Taken as whole, the Festival passed off
gloriousy; and if it be repeated, as we un-
derstand it will, on the Fourth of July, there
will he still larger attendance, and if posi-
BILE greater degree of enjoyment.

profession He has a classical education and ad-

tributed much to his great success; but that which
has done more for him than all else is the uniform
candor he has shown to his patients. He neyerde
ceives them but tells them with sincerity and hon
