GARFIELD BEACH.
Sons and Daughters of Fatherland
Capture the Resort.


Garfield Beach was captured by the
Communications yesterday, two
thousand strong, the occasion being
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the bat
t1e of Sedan, when the forces Of Kaiser
Wilhelm, Bismarck and Won Moltke
took NAPOLEON, the Three Times. and
drove him into the soil of sunny France
a foot: routed him horse, infantry and
zouayes, and captured what few field
pieces he had left remaining on wheels.
Had Garfield Beach been France,
and the attaches thereof F'renchmen,
the German colors would now be foat-
ing over the Hotel de Vile of Paris,
and there wouldn't be red-legged SOL
der left to tell the tale, so successfully
was the assault; carried. From the
bowling alley on the extreme left, to
the sandwich counter on the rlght,
down the center where the musicians
strove with beautiful Blue Danube;
over on the skirmish line where the
Anheuser and Budweiser corks kept a
constant popping, all was in state OF
siege.
The day was one of enjoyment, pure
and unalloyed, and. of the character
which fadeth not away. Summed up,
one can describe every thing in gen
eral and particular as being "Ausge-
sichtnit' This may not be spelled
correctly, but it sounds that way.
Everyone was happy and everyone had
a good time.
julius Gauer and Jacob Moritz, the
heroic pair who stood the charge of
the French cavalry on that immortal
day when the trumpet sang death
song to the riders Of the horses; when
the chassepot and the needle gun car
ried messages from the dark beyond
to many a brave hearted Johnny Ora
paud and left fatherless many a gol-
den haired German boy and girl when
mitrailleuese and canister carried de-
struction to solid ranks of dark eyed
youths from Bayonne and rugged men
from Alsace-Lorraine; they were the
observed OF all observed, while Morris
Sommers kicked himself industriously
because he was not old enough to fight,
batter a drum or do something to in
scribe his name on the roll of First
Sergeant Fame.
Captain Lund was there, too. Gov
cred with medals which he won while
fighting the cause of his king. He led
his gallant four sets of tours from his
company of the National Guard
through the intricacies of -Four in cir

they grew weary with we'll doing and
threatened to mutiny. But all this
edited the crowd, and they were
pleased with the evolutions aforesaid.
The crowd did not begin to flock to
the beach until about o'clock. From
that time the trains were crowded
Owing to the small attendance before
3, the exercises were delayed until af-
ter the arrival of the train which
reaches the beach at $40. AS soon as
the people had gathered on the pavil-
ion, President Dern of the Mercur
mine, assumed charge and introduced
the venerable General Solomon, who
addressed the throng in German, ex-
planning the objects of the gathering.
This was followed by a German song.
Professor Hirsching delivered the
address of the day in the mother
tongue. The verbiage of the speech
was not as fully comprehended by
me Herald man as 1t would have
been had he understood the language,
but the frequent "Hochs' which
greeted the speaker conveyed the i'm
preston that the listeners were we'll

of that gallant German warrior, 1.-The
Iron Chancellor" and the part he took
in the struggle, his illusions to the

At the conclusion of his speech, the
German national air Die Yacht am
Rhein" was sang by the select
