gates from the various societies particle
pating in the saengerfest held busi-
ness meeting this morning. Newark,
n. j., was selected as the place for
holding the next saengerfest, three

of three, one of which shall sing classi.
cal and the other national songs. All
societies taking part in the saengerfest
shall be hereafter required to contest
for the prizes. The prize singing for the
second class was conducted in
the afternoon, the test being on
