Review: New York Herald, 02 August 1865, 8.

Includes information about the organization, which was composed of “Germans, Frenchmen and Englishmen.”

          “The singers of the Frohsinn Society performed a series of favorite national and patriotic pieces and some complicated compositions. . . . There was only one policeman on the ground . . . who, however, managed to keep order among some roughs, who of late are in the habit of thrusting themselves in among the Germans when they are engaged in their festivities.

          Some two or three thousand persons visited the festival grounds during the day.”
