THE YoLKsFEsT AT THE FAIR HROUNp9'-fol VI
many days the public have been anxiously looking
for the commencement of the ''Volks" OF peo-
pes feast, which our fellow citizens of the German
origin are getting up this year, at the Fair Grounds
in manner unequaed on any preceding occasion
in New Orleans.
This grand festival will begin tomorrow and
will be continued on the following day.
Our readers are doubtless familiar with the pro-
qramme which has been advertised several days,
and cannot fail to have observed the great variety
and interest OF the exercises. The affair will be
inaugurated by grand procession. Oar two most
celebrated bands, Jaeger's and Bothe's, forty
pieces united, will attend the procession and the
feast throughout. The procession will be distin-
guished by ynumerousnovel spectacular attractions,
and will form on Canal street, at O'Clock to-mor-
row morning, and march through the principal
streets before proceeding to the Fair Grounds.
The Volksfest will open at half past one, when
grand promenade concert will be given by the
bands united and the concert will be followed by
a grand ball. and thereafter will come a variety of
games and plays, shooting matches, "Turner'sn
acrobatic feats, tournament fire engine horse
race recitation of an original poem written for the
occasion and vocal concert. At night the grounds
will be Illuminated by magnesium light of great
power and brilliancy, imported especially for the
occasion,
The proceeds will be devoted to a worthy
charity, the erection of an asylum for needy
Germans.
THE REGEsTRY AND NArgRALIzATIoEs.-T The
Registry closed on Thursday for the election on
Monday. The whole number registered is 12876,
an increase of 1884 since the municipal election in
March, and of 1850 since the State election in No
veuber last. The naturaisations in the district
courts Of the State since the March election have
been much less numerous than is commonly sup
posed. The numbers naturalized IN each cour
during that period were as follows; First District
10 Second, "a Third, 107; Fourth, "a; Fifth, l
Sixth, making an aggregate Of 1913.
By these figures it will be seen that, assumin!
4 1.-The new naturalizstons to hayeregistered the.
do not constitute one-ffth of the number regis
tered since March. The remainder must, q
course, have been citizens previously. Anothe
element of calculation as to the probable resul
CT the contest on Monday is the police. The grea
influence of that nrmerous betty was actively ez
ercsed against the Democratic party in the lat
J city election, but under the present authorize
), they will only cast their Individual votes. Tht
; change must have very perceptble effect apo
4 the coming election.

charged with killing Lewis, was to have been e!
amined before Recorder Ahern last evening, bl
