ing of City.
People are stil] talking of the bean-
ties of the cherry festival the quaint
custom which Hamburg has kept up
for centuries. The bands of white
clad children that pass through the
streets bearing branches covered with
| cherries are a sight a stranger mever
forgets. This festival bad its origina
in 1432 when the Hussitfes marched
against Hamburg with the intention of
| maxing it. A citizen named Wolfe pro-
| posed that & band of children from 7
10 14 years of age be sent to the Hus-
sites wrapped in shrouds with & peti.
§ tion to spare the city. The children
80 presented themselves before the
Hussities’ chief, Procopus Nasaw, who
was 80 impressed by seeing children in
shrouds that he promised to spare the
¢ity. Then he feasted the children
on therries. In commemoration of
that day the children have s cherry
