politan EXCISE law very stringently prohibits any
toytal gatherings, such as the schuetzenfest has
brought together during the week, yet nearly ten
,aousand people visited sones' Wood yesterday,
attending the concerts called "sacredn at the hall
IN the afternoon and evening. The committee OF
entertainment however, very wisely, were mind
nh Of the law and Of the biue-coated and
brassbuttoned officers Of the iaw and prohibited the
sale Of any intoxicating beverage The bars
and stands outside for the sale Of beer and wine
were all completely and efYectually closed,n the
nav Directs and only In the dining and in the
Pest Halle c0ree, chocolate. sodawater, lemonade
end dinner were served to the thirsty and hungry
crowds; but most N demand was imported Ger
man c,er'' In bottles, Of which quite quantity
consumed. The concert, under the direction Of Mr..
Carl Anschuetz, was again success, and was
nstened to approvingly. edf
THE MEETING IN THE FORENOON. ,t
The nrst business in regular order was the mass
meeting OF all the members Of the Schuetzenbund
President p F. Steffen acting as chairman and MI.
Max Moresnthau secretary, both Of New York ciy.
Immediately after the opening OF the meeting Mr.
Mutschlechner, OF Chicago the former President
of Che Bund, announced In feeling words the
eath OF the former secretary and proper resolutions
oS coincidence were passed. Mr.. Gruaz Of High
land made very detailed statistical report OF the
results of the last National Schuetzenfest ct Chicago
IN 1885, by which 1t appeared that the New York
festival this year leaves all similar gatherings far be-
hind. Secretary Morgenthau then reported the
NAMES Of the several societies and delegates
Srom all parts of the country and from abroad,
and he also maze general report of the
shooting during the four days that it was in
actual progress the special report not having been
as yet completed by the committee in charge OF It,
Mr.. Katzenmayer, of New York, moved that q re-
organization Of the Bund should be planned, to
the effect that all local societies of State unite into
enc State society or union, and that the Bund
- constituted only by the several State unions
forming the central head Of the whole, and that
N the future no one should be q member Of the
Bund without being member Of some local So
sety. A very excited debate ensued upon this
proposition, which lasted for upwards Of an hour,
and while it met with few dissenting opinions it was
The general and prevailing opinion that this move
ment should be left to the consideration of the local
societies and the final proposition Of it be postponed
till next biennial meeting but that each society should
notify the Corresponding Secretary of the Bund at
least Two months before that meeting how they
have instructed their delegates to vote the ques-
ton. Cincinnati was fixed upon the place for
the next National Schuetzenfest to be held In the
month Of June, 1870, two years hence. This was
done principally for the reason that the next great
National Saengerest viii also be held at Cincinnati
at the same time, and 1t Ia the understanding,
though nothing OF it appears in the Official records
Of the proceedings Of the meeting that both the Saen-
geSfest and the Schuetzenfest and, II possible, the
National Turn Pest should be combined, and that like
the Oympian games Of the ancient Greeks, these bt-
enna reunions Of the whole people Of the country in
~enera, A~ias~y s--Ass..- counted an era in the
,Soltel life OF America. From Highland In., IT,.
