GERMAN FESTIVAL At NEWARK IN AID
or THE GERMAN-ENGLISH SCHOOLS.

An enormous quantity of Lager Bier was consumed
Yesterday at Newark, for benevolent purpose. A
grand Jubilee, got up under the name Of "Nolks and
Gambrinus Feat" was held by the Germans in Goes
Woods, in the outskirts OF Newark in aid of the Ger
man English Schools of that city. Extensive prepare
tions had been made by the German citizens of New
ark in view of the event, and the occasion resulted
not only in furnishing pleasant holiday to the patci
pants, but was eminently successful in pecunary
point of view "Gambrinus," according to tradition
prevailing among the Germans, was King of Flanders
and Brabant and the great Father of Lager Bier,
having been the inventor of that popular beverage;
and the name of this ancient monarch, as applied
to this OCCASION is meant to indicate Lager Bier
Festival.
