Hudson's Thirteen Societies Join in n Grand
Summernight's Festival.
Schuetzen Park, Union Hill, was in all
its old-time glory last Monday evening, the
attraction being neither Plattdeutsch-
volks-fest, Schu teen picnic nor Grand
Army encampment that brought the multi
tude together; but the thirteen singing
societies of Hudson County, which, on
Easter Monday, united with the Valencia
Orchestra, of RcbokeD, in grand concert
in aid of the hospitals, were holding their
fourth annual united concert and Summer
nights festival. Herr Oscar Klahre, who
is the musical director of four societies,
was unanimously reelected Grand Director
for this occasion, and the dexterous man
ner in which he handled the several hun
bred voices clearly demonstrated that a
better selection could not have been made.
Promptly at o'clock the concert began in
the spacious pavilion, and the following
programme of eleven numbers was atten-
lively listened to by an intelligent audience
and greeted with bursts of applause
