The tables were well occupied with people taking refreshments, the dancing pavilion was alive with merry dancers, while up above were jolly people viewing the city from the rustic bowers near the edge of the cliff. The cloudy sky deterred many from going in the after noon but in the evening hundreds visited the grove and the State street cars were crowded. President Weckesser of the society was on the grounds attending with his com mittee to the management of the affair. In the evening a large number of the members of the Arion and Harugari Singing societies fraternized with their sister society and all combined in singing their favorite songs,
 making the woods and rock rebound with melody. The finest selections were ''The Forest and ''The Soldiers Farewell. :" Dancing was indulged in throughout the afternoon and evening, and kept up until eleven o'clock. It was very jolly crowd and all enjoyed good time. The committee were Theodore Knipping, chairman; J. J. KreiZer, Fred. Brill, Geo. Fechtner, Wm.
