Reception of Sängerfest Participants

     “The members of the various singing societies intending to take part in the approaching Saengerfest marched in procession to the City Hall last evening at nine o’clock, with Chinese lanterns and torches.  The Philadelphia delegation did not arrive till midnight, when they were received by the Mayor.  A song of welcome was sung by the vast multitude of voices, with considerable effect, after which the Mayor having made a few remarks, they proceeded to Germania Assembly Rooms.  The grand concert will be given this evening.”
