son Square Garden, tonight. The city
and county declarations are to sing fol-
prizes in the first, second and third
classes in the afternoon. and the New
ark Federation Is to be a competitor In
the first class. The competitive sing
ing OF societies from the second. third
and fourth classes Of the saengerbund

Another grand festival concert was
given In the evening. The great chorus
of 5000 voices evinced improvement
over their work OF the night before.
Nine. Schumann-Hein aroused a
storm Of applause with arias from
"Odysses'' and "Rienz.' Daniel Bed
doe sang an aria from Queen of
Sheba," which was enthusiastically re-
ceived. The concert was opened with
the Philmarnic Orchestra of 100 pieces
uDQtT ulloCtlOIi " )dEi x1Ci1t PM
LES Preludes." At the close of this
number Governor Hughes addressed
the mammoth audience, telling how
much the State owed to things German.
1t was the consensus of opinion
among musicians present that the
Snabian and the Bavarain Societies, of
Newark, and the Swiss Harmonic Sing
ing Society. Of Hoboken, were easily
the best of the eight competing So
cieties In the second class. 1t is be-
lieved that the ldges in picking a
society for first place will nave to chose
between the two Newark organizations.

The judges were seated behind a can

How Judging IL Done.
The societies are judged according to
the precision of attack, enunciation
and Interpretation of conductors.
Societies of approximately the same
size were put into the same class, and
for each Of the three classes a sep
arate song was selected as the test OF
their ability. For the societies In these
classes the prizes are a bust of Weber,
a loving cup and a portrait of the Ger
nan Emperor. The decisions will be
