the movement, sailed from Frankfort.
Germany, in the ship Concord" :" and
after a passage Of forty-nire days ar
rived at Germantown. While there
were Germans scattered throughout
the colonies at that time this was the
first formal step toward German colo
nization. These venturesome Teutons
underwent great hardships for several
years. but their thrift finally conquered
the wilderness and made it blossom ss
the rose, and it is. becoming that the
descendants of that heroic band re-
/ member the day in feasting and song
and merry making at this day.
The grove has been beautified and
improved for the forthcoming celebra-
ton and the society will be prepared to
entertain an immense crowd.
