AT THE PAR
Long before noon q steady stream Of
pleasure seekers set in toward the Elm
Grove moter line, bound for the closing
festivities at the Park, and ths double
trains run by the company were taxed to
their utmost for q time to furnish transpar-
tation for the crowd. During the afternoon
probably 1000 people we're on the grounds,
and as evening approached the attendance
Increased ~perceptibly. The day was spent
oy those present in various sports or in quiet
Enjoyment under the trees, the Opera house
Band meanwhile ~discoursing choice music
In the evening the top of the mound was
BRILLIANTLY ILLUMINATED
with Chinese lanterns, while a splendid dis.
play of fireworks afforded enjoyment to the
immense concourse Of spectators. At the
same time dancing was inaugurated in the
pavilion, and kept up until a late
hour. The crowd Of pleasure seekers was
characterized by its eminent respsctsbility,
many of the leading families of the city be-
ing represented. Not q solitary disturb
ance occurred, and the degree of quiet and
order which prevailed was the subject Of
general remark.
During toe course ofthe day most all the
members Of the visiting singing societies
left for their several homes, one and all ex-
pressing the
UTMOST DELIGHT
with the %enioyments afforded during their
stay in the Nail City. Oae of the last socie-
ties to leave was the Rob:r Blum Maenusr-
Choir, of Allegheny, which marched 10 the
Pewiky depot headed by the G. A. R. band,
the column attracting much attention.
So ends the Saengerfest! May the sue.
cess at Allegheny, two years hence, be as
great.
