The fame of this Arion society is
two fOld-the singing of it's finely
trained male chorus, which has re-
ceived meritOriOus recognition in the
larger cities of Germany and of Aus
tria, as we'll as at home, and the pow
erful social influence the society has
welded and is welding in New York
city. Founded in 1854, the Arion has
now a membership comprising the
flower of the German-American bust
ness and professional life of New York
The society has members as far west
as Chicago and San Francisco. There
are others living in Germany, who arc
Cheerfully contributing in New York.
The AriOn clubhouse, situated on Park
avenue and Fifty-ninth street, erected
in 1885, at a cost of $4S5 900, is, aside
from the homes Of the 'milliOnaires"
and of the UuiOn league, the largest
and best-eQuipped clubhouse in New
York. In this fine clubhouse there is
one large room which the AriOnite is
ever proud to show the guest, the Wis
itOr to his shrine. This is the AriOn's
hall of glory" Here are arranged
the 101 costly prizes which the singers
Of the society have carried off in many
hard-fOught contests or received in
recognition of meritOrious singing at
home and abroad-gobIets and cups in
gold and in silver, mugs artistically
carved in ivory, gold and silver med
ais, banneretteS, and heavily GOLDEN
broidered and mounted streamers for
their flags. Here are, too the costly
fOOlsCapS and orders which have from
year to year, been presented to the car
nivalists of the Arion by the great car
niVal societies Of Cologne and of May
social triumphs.
