There 10 no probability that the Lexow

II h barely possible that two or three
extra days may be consumed In finish

There were rumors to-day OF n dis

To-NIGHT's CONCERT.
Every Through Train Brings a
Crowd to the Saengerfest.
More Than 5000 Guests Had Ar.
rived Up to Noon To-Day.
Interior OF the Garden Presents a
Brilliant Spectacle.

"Willkommen freund" was heard on
all sides In the German district to-day.
Even the street urchins in the vicinity
Of Madison Square Garden and the Ter
race Garden heard 1t so often that they
mastered the German accent and hailed
any one who resembled German visitor
in appearance.
From early dawn every through train
brought visitors to the city. Special
trains from the West brought whole
societies. The National Saengerfest
was an event long looked forward to
and thirty-hour journey in crowded
train, with the thermometer dancing
near the nlneties, was not sufficient to
keep them away.
Among the societies that arrived to-day
were the Concordia, of Waterbury,
Concordia, of Bridgeport; Lancaster. of
Lancaster, Pa; Concordia, of Easton.
Pa; Harmonca, of New Haven, Conn,
and the Maennerchor, OF Elizabeth, N. j..
Eighteen societies have already ar
rived from Philadelphia, and fifteen
more will reach here this afternoon.
Committees from the local societies
met the visitors at the depots and es-
corted them to their respective hotels
At noon the visitors were given re-
ception at Germania Hall, Fifty-eighth
street, where there was general hand
shaking and a few informal addresses.
1t was estimated at noon that 5000
guests had arrived by that hour and
more were arriving on every train.
Many of those who reached here to-
day expressed much regret at being un-
able to participate in last nights pa
rade. They had no idea 1t was going to
be such a colossal affair until reading
the accounts in to-days papers.
Complaints reached the Committee

bank building, at Twenty fourth street
and Fourth avenue Sightseers endeav-

There was a constant stream OF ap-

prior to to-night's concert.

director, states that the orchestra Is in
