The German Saengerfest last night was

and every square foot of it held either
a man or a woman or child. Those who
did not want to overcrowd the place sat
on the grade OF Wichita & Western road
until it was terrace Of people. From this
grand stand they heard the lively songs
of the fatherland sung in the native
tongue and watched the merry making SO
characteristic of German people.
The saengerfest was given under the
auspices of the Maennerchor Of the Sons
Of Herman. a superb musical organiza ton
Of male voices and all of the numbers
were high class and greatly appreciated;
for although all did not understand the
German language they understood the
music was good and every numebr met
with an enchore.
Admission into the grove was by invi-
tation. great care being taken that no
Objectionable person should participate.
Nearly all the prominent citizens Of Wich-
tia attended.
The instrumental music was furnished
by Sanford's orchestra.
There was fun galore and every visitor
was higly pleased. The German ladies'

business.
A dancing platform was provided and
after the Maennerchor program was com
pleted the disciples of Terpichore enjoyed
themselves during the remainder of the
night.
The saengerfest was opened by William
Meyer who delivered an able address in
