The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-06-13

On Saturday the visiting Societies to the Ter
man Festival arrived in this city. They re-
ceived at the cars by the members of the Singing
Associations resident, and escorted to the New As
sembly Rooms, the headquarters Of the Festival.
Several Societies which expected to be here
did not arrive Saturday, and they are looked
for this morning.
THE PROCESSION.
The members of seven united Baltimore Singing
Societies, with their President, Charles Spilcker
met at the New Assembly rooms at ~ O'Clock
and having formed in line proceeded to Monument
Square, to accord welcome and formerly receive
the singers from abroad. At the Square
a portion of the Baltimore Singers, with light
ed torches mounted the Courthouse balcony
fronting Calvert street, where, during the pyro-
technical display, the bands played the national
air. On the arrival of the procession, the Square
was densely packed with people so that it diff
cult to open passage way. Each member of the
Baltimore Singing Clubs carried in his hand a
transparency, constructed of parti-colored oiled
tissue paper, tightly drawn delicate frames,
made in the shape of inverted bells. After brief
address in German from the President, Mr. Spilck-
er, the Baltimore Singers joined in singing in Ger
man the following ode of welcome or sautation to
their guests:
..Welcome to the union of song and liberty,
Thou German singers union welcomed welcome to thee
Now German songs of sweet melody
Shall bind us with its magic tie
OF German song and friends for you
1t sounds forever bright and true
Shake hands ye brethren all around
To lasting friendship are bound
And take our greeting all along
Welcome, ye of German song.
On then, ye friends and lead the van
And show us what your singing
How time and earthly pain
1t binds strong unions lasting chain.
Be brave and strong, We sons Of song"
The display of fireworks was truly autifu
From the time the head of the procession reached
the Square, until it had departed in company with
the guests, there almost ceaseess pyrotechn-
cal display. Some of the rockets, when thrown
into the air, would burst into mvriads of bright
blazing stars, each of which, would in its turn
emit many more brilliant lights, until the whole
heavens, well the Square, with its sea of hu-
man heads was illuminated as bright as noon .dav.
BY these httul CLEANS, only faint idea of the i'm
mense concourse of people could be obtained, but
they were sufficient to show that the crowd was
such as on few former occasions had been congre-
gated in the Square. Amid blaze of light and
shower of rockets, the procession was reformed
under the superintendent of acting Chief Marshal
Charles Hildebrand, and with the music of Lein-
hardt's, Voandts and Fedtman's bands, proceeded
to march through the city.
