THE sAENGERFEsr..
Opening of the Great Musical Festival
To-Day.


The annual meeting of the Minnesota State
saengerfest will begin in this city to-day, and
will continue until Sunday evening, when it
will close with grand concert and ball at
the Athen@um. The programme of the meet
ing was published in full in the GLOBE of last
Sunday. The streets of the city yesterday
commenced to put on a holiday appearance
in honor of the occasion. The places of
business of most of our German citizens were
decorated with evergreens, flags and bunting.
Across Third street at Bridge square, mag
niflcent arch has been erected, covered with
oak leaves, and underneath is canvass ban
ner bearing the legend
Ihr trauten saenger,
Won nah und fern,
Seid uns gegruest,
Wir haben ellch germ.
Which being interpreted into United States,
will read as follows:
You jolly singers,
From far and near,
We always greet you,
And love your cheer.
From the rooms of the Arion society is sus.
pended rope of oak leaves, underneath which
is banner bearing the legend
"In diesen Zeichen gruesset euch,
Ihr bruder all, an klaugen reich,
Won vern und nah, Zum festes1eichn,
Bereit euch herr und hand zu weihn,
Tenoren, Bass, und Baritone,
Gluck auf! Won st. Paul Arion."
A translation of the verse, as near as the
GLOBE reporter can make it, is as follows:
"With this token we greet you,
You brethren all, SO rich in song,
From far and near to the festive throng
Prepared to consecrate our heart and hand.
To tenor, bass and baritone
Good cheer from the st. Paul Arion."
A great many buildings were profusely dec
GRATED during the day, and the singers who
arrived last evening were agreeably entertained
by their st. Paul associates. The programme
for to-day will be as follows:
At 10 o'clock a. M, reception Of the guests
at headquarters (Athen@um.) The president
