Grand Gathering of Ge ties. Yesterday being knowa among the Germans as Pfin, Montag, or Whit Monday, was duly celebrated by our Teutonic feltow citizens by excursions and festive gath. erings in the various suburban districts of this motropo. lis, The most important of these was the Saengerfest, or musical festival, at Funk’s Union Park, foot of Sixty< third street, East river. Atan early hourin the day large crowds of Germans, accompanied by their wives and children (for the genuine Deutschers go on no pleasure excursion unless the frauen und kinder are par- Ucipants), might have been noticed wending their way to the park that was to be the prin- cipal scene of their festivities,’ Amid the ums brageous foliage of this rural retreat they spent the day, enjoying to the fuli those pleasures whic! form ao distinguishing a characteristic of this orderi: and pleasure loving people, The Third avenue and Sec ond avenue lines of cars, in their up town trips, were crowded with hundreds of passengers, whose facial con-{ tour, in each instance, gave unmistakable evidence of, Teutonic extraction, aud whose beaming countenances betokened anticipatory enjoyments that the Germans, above all other people, know so weil how to appreciate. Srrived at the ground, these found hundreds of ethers awaiting them, and, ai about eleven o'clock, the strains of orchestral music that resounded through the groves announced the commencement of the day’s festivity. Couples soon took their places on the principal platform, for the inevitable waltz that goes iar to make up the German's programme of pleasure. While these were. circling round in the mazy Terpsichorean exercises’ others took advantage of the opportunity to ramble through the grounds and to whale the health giving breezes that are here wafted from the river, which forms the eastern boundary, of the park, There were present on this Pingst Montag men and women of both high and low degree, youths and maidens; and even children in arms formed no ine considerable ae of the assemblage, Rivers of lager and tuns of Rhein wine flowed freely down the throats of these pleasure seekers, and the only effect of tha omnipresent imbibition seemed to be the rousing of the stolid German spirit to @ point where innocent enjoy ment met with full appreciation. Two excellent bras! bands, in addition to the orchestra that furnished melod: to which the willing feet of the dancers kept time, afforded harmony for the ever increasing crowds; and a9 these, stationed at either end of the park, gave fort their musical utterances, it was made fully apparent that, for this day at least, the ind old woods were ta be devoted to giving equal homage to Orpheus an& Terpsichore. ig occasion was the tenth General Singer Festival, and, to make it what its name imports, thirty-seven singing societies were present, Their exer-, cises formed the prominent featnre in the pleasures of, the day, Soattered here and there over the large area of the park were the banners of these socie~ ties pendant from the trees, and in the shade of these a collected group told the presence ot Mannerchor, Swnger- bund and Sangverein. Each society gave evidence of ita collective musical capacity by executing now and again, under the charge of its leader, of those gran: choral performances that have made the Germans so re- nowned in the world of melody, while hundreds of ap+ gr listeners failed not, at the close of each solec~ ~ 4 Musteal Secieq 4 lon, to express their hearty applause.
