Notes From the Saengerfest.

The Grand Rapids Maepnerchor
society, with Prof. Hirzy's band at lis
head and "Old Glory" playing to the
breezes, marched up Water street Fri
day afternoon and took possession OF
the Green Bay & Western passenger
train which delivered them in Stevens
Point an hour later for three days fun
at the North Wisconsin Saengerbezirk.
The bows, with their white plug hats
and patriotic decorations, made dis
tinguisEed appearing set. They started
out to have musical good time, and
they had it, speaking in most complI-
mentary measures of the hospitality
and courtesies extended by the people
in our Heighboring town. ''Die aller-
schonsten," as our Maennerchor is now
best known, opened the first grand
concert on Saturday afternoon with a
chorus in their usual very successful
manner, and came in for their full
quota of praise throughout the series of
song festivals.

John H. Brennan of Stevens Point to

the German singers:
''Tbe keys Of the city can be given
for no more worthy purpose than that
for which they were given tonight.
This society signifies more than good
cheer. This movement, of which this
little gathering in northern Wisconsin
is part, is a growing necessity in order
to contend with the too scientific and
too practical proclivities of the Ameri-
can people. The votaries of music are
trying to overcome this serious aspect
and soften the cold American heart.
You cannot have good music or good
composers among you until the people
are educated up to an appreciation of
music. It is but natural that the strong
German race coming to this country
should bring their strongest virtue. The
music idea is gaining ground, We
Americans cannot express IN music
what the German and French can ex-
press until the common people join
together and learn to sing with the
whole heart such songs as the Star
Spanged Banner and like soul stirring
airs, as the Germans sing Die Wacht
am Rhein' and the French the Mar
seilles.' This gathering of yours is
nation-building. 1t breaks down pro-
vincialism by bringing men from widely
separated districts into contact. 1t is
an education. It is great, grand, good
work that demands not only the good
will of the American people, but also
the highest thought and emulation"
~
There was music in the air. Lots of
alling rain, too, the first two days.
But it is said that the good natured
German crowd drowned out the wet by
its singing.
A large number of persons from the
twin cities went to Stevens Point on the
Sunday excursion. They had a jolly
good time, for all were Germans on that
day. The Maennerchor bows came
home on this train in the evening. The
Green Bay & Western run two coaches
which were filed to an uncomfortable
degree.
~
When parade arrived at the fair
grounds Sunday the men broke ranks
and fell to enjoying themselves. Each
singing society had its own head
quarters, a pavilion covered with pine
boughs and set with tables and benches.
The pavilions were arranged in semi
circle and over the entrance of each
was the name Of the society. About
5000 people were present on this day
Several gangs of thieves, professional
pickpockets and thugs started to take
in sthe saengerfest, but Stevens Point
officers. assisted by. detectives Sullivan
and Peck of Milwaukee, hustled them
lively. Several arrests were made,

Dredging the Yukon.

Dredging for gold on the Yukon river
and its larger branches has so far proven
a failure. Many thousand dollars have
been invested in one dredging scheme and
another, but no apparatus has yet been
found that will save the -four gold of the
river beds in quantities that pay. Several
steamers fitted with elaborate machinery
for dredging have tried all the rivers from
kOyukuk to the Hootalinqua. The result
has been practically the same. In all Of
the river bars flour gold was found, but
the machinery on the steamers would noe
save it. The llootalinqua and Lewis riv-
ers have been worked to greater extent
than the branches lower down Some OF
the companies still have hopes Of making
the dredging proposition pay after more
experiment, but the outlook i, poor.
