The Arbeiter Saengerbund parade
held last Saturday morning at the
same time that the big parade was in
progress made good showing, fully
1900 persons being in line with the Sec
ond regiment band at their head. The
band made its usual tiptop appearance
and the members white duck dress
coats and white helmets We're tout of
sight" AT 1880 o'clock the parade got
under way, and 1t was remarked by
| nearly all of the large crowds which
witnessed it that it made as imposing
an appearance as the big parade
Everything in the march went
smoothly until in crossing the old
green the parade was stopped by the
big parade going down Elm street
| The Germans, however. marched down
inside of the fence to the corner gate
and then passed out The line of
march from this point as scheduled
was down Elm to State but the mar
shall seeing the reviewing stand in
frpnt of city hall turned the line into
Church street. The parade was some
what broken up by the other parade,
the trolley cars and the crowds on
Church street, and soon after the head
of the line reached Chapel street broke
ranks and proceeded to Schuetzen park
in detachments.
At 2 O'Clock the big concert began at
the park with 800 singers taking part,
and an audience of about 5000 people.
The concert was opened by full or
chestra under the leadership of Frank
Fichtl with the Overture to Oberon"
by Weber. The second number, 80
Welt der Himmel Biau ist," was then
sung.
Each number was applauded to the
echo by the enormous audience.
Herr Herman Kunne Of Philadelphia
and Herr Jul. Lach were the directors,
and the concert was perfect success.
The Philadelphia, New York Hudson
county, Brooklyn and Newark societies
sang alone and it was thought by
many that the Newark chorus did the
best. The singers closed with Auber's
"Arbeiter Auf' The Turner squads
connected with the various societies
the evening there were fireworks and
dancing
The pleasantness of the occasion was
greatly added to by the contents of the
200 beer kegs which were emptied, but

ances and no disagreeable incidents
connected with the occasion.
