WHOM, throo yesra ago, It was proposed, nt tho
Third Trionat Baongorfoat, in st. Louis, 10 hold
tho Fourth Festival Of tho sorioH in Cleveland,
Tho question was naturally ashod, whotlor q
Puritan city Hlto -transplanted, aa It wcro,
from tho cool, conservative soil of Now England,
would respond satisfactorily to tho roquiro-
u1enta OF euoh an occasion. It waH finally do
csded that tho Baohgorbund should tako tic
obanocB, and tho result, so far Us can now bo
aeon, 1uatiaos that decision. Tor month past
the coming saongerfoas las been to Cleveland
tic great, oyornhadowing event Of the future.
An army Of ,Tork1non hayo reared, on a vacant
lot, botwoon Euclid ayonuo and Prospect street,
|; An
1nStENHE WOODEN BUILDING,
with galleries round all sidos, capable of aeating
12,0o0 spectators, md giving apaco for q chorus
or ], 400 yoicos, and tho full orchontra Of tho
New York Philharmonic Booiety, which, undor

As already said, this will bo tho Fourth Tri-
oniat, Festival of tho North American saenger-
bund. The First, In 1866, was hold in Olncin-
nati; the Second, In indianapolis; tho Third,
1871, In st. Louis. from horo 1t will worry 1ikoIy
go to Chicago In 1877, tho yoaf after tho Conton-
nial. Though given almost exclusively by Cor
mans, thoro is, in those grand reunions. and tho
| mtisto which accompanies them, enough that Ia
popular nnd cosmopolitan to mako them attract-
lyo and interesting to Ill claHses. Easy as 1t ia
for Americans to like the boor md chooae-annd-
| wiohoa Of tho Fathorland, 1t is still easier to
i enjoy tho good music and tho jolly simplicity
which are equally part Of; German social lifo.
Sustained, therefore, by its own constantly grow
