The Evening World

RAIN
SPOILED THE
FUN.

FOR
ALL
BUT
THE GERMAN SOCIETY
PICNICKERS AT JONES'S WOOD.

These Adjourned to a Convenient Cover
and Were no Merry as If the Skies Had
Been Clear-They Heard Music and
Speeches, Danced and Were Full of
Good Cheer-People Who Were There.

An attractive programme of outdoor novelty
had been arranged for yesterday, the
third day of the festival which the German
societies are holding in Jones's Wood and
Washington Park, but the heavy rainfall disarranged
things somewhat, and those present
were obliged to seek the shelter of the dancing
pavilion. Nevertheless, impromptu merrymaking
went on, and there was plenty of
fun, just as if there had been no rain.

Bechman's Band came over from the
Woods to the park, and room having been
made for them on the capacious stage platform,
they joined Leipboldt's orchestra, who
were already there, and it was quickly arranged
that they would alternate with each
other in furnishing appropriate selections of
lively music. This kept up the spirits of the
dancers, and those who did not dance were
regaled by concerts in the intermissions,
which were after their own heart. Many
musical melodies of the Fatherland were
floated through the hall by the generous musicians.

Among the pretty and graceful young ladies
on the floor were Miss Carrie Schultheis,
daughter of the proprietor of the two parks.
and her friend Miss Alice Ness.

In the basement, which is used for the large
dining hall, the members of the Harlem Independent
Schuotzen Club were being entertained
and in very happy address of welcome
Mr. H. Villaret, Chairman of the Press
Committee, thanked his guests for their
bravery in coming out during such a heavy
storm. Other speeches followed.

Among those who looked after the comfort
of their guests were George F. Krumm, Paul
Schmager, Otto Dingler, J. Schoenwaldt, A.
Capke, Louis Reiss, Martin Gerber and
Charles Aplass.

The number of pleasure seekers who braved
the storm included the following:
