 day Morning-Grand Rehearsal at the
 Hyperion in the Afternoon-The Concert
 in the Evening.
 The second day of the fourth Haru- gari Saengerfest was much enjoyed by all the visiting Germans yesterday. At o'clock in the morning about 200 Of them, including both men and women, assembled at Harugari hall and from there went to the green, where a num- Der of cars were waiting for them on the Whitney avenue road. They LOOK this line up to East Rock and walked up the Rock on the west side. Coming down on the east side they stopped at Patrick Delaney's place near Bishop s Gate. where lunch was served and a short business meeting was held. It was decided to hold the next Saenger- fest at Cleveland, O., in 1898, at the in vitation Of the Cleveland Harugar.
 They took the State street line back to the city.
 In the afternoon they again assem- bled at Harugam hall and went to the Hyperion to rehearse for the concert.
 About seventy-five members rom Union City arrived yesterday. To-day all the Harugari lodges in the state Will be here and 1t is estimated that there will be between 700 and 800 people in line when the grand parade starts this morning.
 THE FESTIVAL CONCERT. The festival concert of the Harugari Singing societies took place in the Hy- perion last evening. The audience was q. large one, although the musical pub lie of New Haven was not as largely represented as the affair deserved. The ordinary concert-goer in this city has no opportunity to hear these German societies and consequently their merit ! is unappreciated, while certain other societies achieve considerable success, because they are conducted upon a social rather than musical basis.
 The singers did fine work last night under Max Dessauer's leadership, both ] in the united and as individual soci- 1 eties Beethoven's "Heil'ge Nacht" was beautifully rendered. both in point ot ! tone and shading. Again in "Das Fin ! same Roeslein' the purity of tone ob- I tained by such an enormous number was remarkable. The best work done 1 by the separate societies was done by the Harugari Liedertafel of this city and by the Liederkranz of New York The latter by their spirited singing 1T l Abts "Call to the Chase" quite made the hit of the evening.
 Frau Ida Klein of New York wat the soprano soloist of the occasion | yni, ,.ybr hor several times before, is very beauti 1 full woman and a charming Liedel
 singer After superb rendition o
 Bohm's "Still Vie Die Nacht" she re l sponded to an encore with Reinholt l Becker's Swing Song" which sht sang with splendid spirit and exquisit
 expression. After her second numbe
 she was again obliged to appear ant
 she sang "Leise Zieht Durch Meii l Gemueth." It is a long time since W l have heard such good song singing T here from a woman. Barriri Berthold
 who was heard here in Rob Roy, and who, if he recovers from some un pending Allegations, will be one of tn tenors in Damrosch's German oper next winter. was the tenor. He sang a. aria from "Giaconda" extremely wel T and as an encore the "Romanza" fror
 the same opera. He has a fine ringin voice of the rubusto order and excep for a certain nasal quality. very pleas l ing Ills voice sounded yer powerfr in the Hyperion, but We doubt if hi ''throaty'' method would stand him i , good stead in the Metropolitan. Fo his second numbers less can be satt
 because for reasons best known to tfos i in charge, he sang without accompan , ment unless the noise produced by tn , frenzied strummings of a gentleme s on an autoharp be considered as sucl , The audience listened with composuI s to solo on this instrument, but wei . little prepared to hear violence done
 two beautiful and well known songs
 this way. Herr Troostwyk was loudl
 applauded after his numbers, whic
 were two very striking Gypsy dance by Nachez As an encore he played a e adagio by Hans Sith. The accompan e ments were furnished by the New H; t ven Symphony orchestra and in son e by MT Kraft on a Vocation. Mi! : Klein received an enormous basket ;. flowers and flowers and handsome bee e steins were presented to Conductt n Berthold. The program was delightfu
 ly chosen and we'll carried out.
 Several additional societies will

There will be betwet n TOO and 800 men in line. Several del e gations which had been expected d d not come, but it is expected that mar I, will come this morning from the sta
