North American Sengerfest.

The Oath Sangerfest of the ''North
American Sangerbund'' will take place
at Milwaukee, Wis, on the 21st to
25th days of July next, and the man
agement desires to bring to the notice
of all lovers of choral and instrumental
music the programmes which have
been prepared for the occasion, and the
sentiments and convictions which have
guided Mr.. Ernst Catenhusen, Festival
Director, and the committee on music
in constructing them.
1t has been the aim, not only of the
managers of the artistic portion of the
festival, but also that Of the organiza-
ton entire, to give the occasion a
different stamp than which choral
gatherings of this class have heretofore
borne. It is recognized that art
matters as we'll as all other human
undertakings must change and improve
with the demands Of an advancing
time and taste.
That large male chorus was
enrolled, that soloists of the very
highest order (singers and Instrument
alists) had been secured that the
orchestra will be more numerous than
heretofore; all this will be, perhaps,
considered only natural and a result,
too which every following festival will
strive to exceed or improve upon. For
these attractions, therefore, no overdue
recognition is requested, and although
it will be shown hereafter, that, also in
this direction, extraordinary efforts
have been made and result obtained
which far exceeds anything previously
attempted and which prognosticates
grand and highly artistic success for
the undertaking
What is desired mainly, however, to
be brought before the American public
is the more national character Of the
festival, the picture it affords of the
progress of music in our common
country, Especially in the vest and
the advancement and spread of male
chorus singing as now practiced every
where by citizens of whatever race or
extraction.
There will also appear at this
festival, besides the societies singing in
the German language. one of our fore
most native American male choruses,
the "Artom Club of this city, under
the leadership of Mr. VIM. A Tomlins
who is favorably and widely known as
an expert master Of chorus instruction.
This club will sing several numbers,
100 male voices strong, in friendly
competition with six or eight German
speaking societies of renown in this
country. If on that occasion the
verdict of the hearers will be in favor
of these young adopts of song, the
pioneers of male chorus singing in this
country, the Germans, will cheerfully
relinquish the laurel and it will be
source of pride to the members of the
"Sangerbund" that their example, set
many years past, has been productive
of such ripe and healthy fruits.
Mr.. Tomlin's has also under train
ing children's chorus of 500 voices,
which, with its three numbers, will
lend additional interest to the festival.
In closing it is desired to recur to
the very strong ensemble of soloist and
the grand chorus of festival. The
latter viii comprise 2, 500 male chorus
voices of the 'Sangerbund, besides

Telegraphed Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7, 1873

The past week was one of excitement.
Beginning with Decoration Day, and
including in the week the wedding at
the White House, everything and every
body have been on rush in state OF
excitement.
Grover Cleveland and Frank Folsom
were married quietly and unostenta-
tiously at the White House on the
evening of the End inst. Nothing has
taken place during the present admin
istration in which the chief actor has
taken part, passed off more pleasant
ly or tremendously. Although there
is a great disparity of ages yet there
are none in this broad land who do
not wish the newly married couple
much happiness. To Mr.. Dan Lamont
more than any one else is due the ex-
cellent management from first to last.
While there was profusion of costly
presents, flowers in abundance, and
good things without stint, take the
wedding all in all, it was very re-
publican one, and possibly the only
parties dissatisfied are the few little
sprouts of nobility who wanted an
opportunity to show off, When the
President and his bride, who is very
lovely young woman, return from
Deer Park, things doubles will go on
much the same as before.
Congress the past week did but
little business comparatively. About
the only thing of consequence was the
passage of the Oleomargarine bill by
the House. Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri,
who had charge of the bill, fought a
good fight and deserves credit for
faithfully and earnestly looking after
the farming interest in this matter.
His strongest opponents were repre-
sentatives from Chicago, especially
Mr.. Durham, who neglected nothing
to defeat the bill The only thing
accomplished by him was securing a
reduction of cents per pound in the
tax on all limitations of butter The
fate of this bill in the Senate is very
doubtful. In fact the opponents of
the bill, will prevent it from being
taken up this session if they can. The
fact is that influence" with them,
will be no object, if they can accom-
plish their desires
The Blaine men are jubilant over
his speech at the Portland Irish meet
ing last week. While it is doubtful
whether Mr.. Blaine intended anything
more than to place on record his views
on the Home Rule legislation, it is a
fact that nothing he has ever said OF
done, has made him more friends
among Irishmen. It is thought far
Their that Mr.. B. improved the oppor-
tunity offered to get even with certain
leaders in Great Britain who did all
they could to give aid and comfort to
the late rebellion.
While the Republicans are exercised
over Blaine's speech, the Democrats
are all "tore up over the published
views of Gov. Hill, of New York.
Randall's friends and Cleveland's
friends, and the friends of every pos
sible Democratic candidate for the
President, are interested more or less
Hill is opposed to combinations OF
appointments by Senates, and this idea
will run like wild-fre all through the
Democratic lovers Of the loaves and
fishes.
