A GERMANIA SERENADE.— Last evening
our Germania Band tendered to Mr. HENRY
E. BABCOCK, Station Ageni Lehigh Valley
Railroad, at his residence, corner of Packer
avenue and William street, a brilliant sere
nade. After performing two of their choicest
selections, they were invited by Mr. B. into
his house for refreshments. When all had
become quietly seated a member of the band
left the parlor for a moment and returned
bearing a magnificent and eo>tly silver tilting
water pitcher with two goblets, slop bowl
and platter, which Mr. ED. WALKER, the
Band Master, proceeded to present f o Mr.
BAKCOCK from the band, in suitable and very
appropriate language, as a practical express
ion of their appreciation of the important
services of Mr. 15. in his highly successful
management of their excursion to Watkins
Glen on the 2Gth of August lust. Mr. BAB
COCK although taken entirely by surprise,
seemed so fully delighted !>v the compliment
of the presentation and the rare beauty of tlie
present itself,that lie accepted the same in
very happy, hearty and thankful terms, as
suring the band that what little he had been
able to do for them was the free and willing
tribute of a friend to an excellent organiza
tion of fine musicians, and of liberal-hearted,
gentlemanly fellows, that they could com
mand his services at all times and 011 all occa
sions.
Fine refreshments were then bountifully
served by Mrs. BABCOCK, after which the
band played in the bouse, a waltz sug
gestive of festivity and dancing, and a good
night's selection outside the gate.
The splendid present is not easily described.
It, is entirely novel and recent in its desigu :
A large pitcher tilting or swinging between
two upright standards, supported by a plat
ter 011 which a.e two gold lined goblets, one
in front and one in rear and a large go'd lined
slop bowl, all of heavily plated silver. The
pitcher is richly decorated with delicate leaves
and blossoms and tlnv hanging vines and 011
its front is engraved in exquisite but massive
lettering: "11. E. BABCOCK, from the Ger
TOWANDA, PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER iS, ISSI.
mania Band, 1881." This splendid gift was
from the jewelry store of W. A. CHAMBKR
LIN. Its cost to the band was forty dollars.
The engraving was executed by £i> MOUILL
ESSKAUX. Afterwards tha glorious Ger
manias wended their gleeful course down to
the cornor of Third and Chestnut streets,
where they serenaded their liberal £ patron
and steadfast friend, Mr. CIIAS. L. TRACY.
Several lailies and Mr. TRACY appeared upon
the lawn and applauded the music. Mr TRA
CY thanked the band for their compliment to
him, which being entirely unexpected his
household was not prepared to offer them r -
freshments, which he would be most happy
to do. Mr. FRED E. SMITH, the golden-toned
eornetist was with the band. Two other im
portant members were unavoidably absent,
yet the music was superb and the evening was
summer-like and delightful.
