Through an additional gift of $100,000 by Mr. Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis, the erection of the proposed new building for the Germanic Museum is assured. A site has already been acquired by the Corporation at the corner of Divinity avenue and Kirkland street.

Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador to the United States, was a guest yesterday at a small and informal reception of the Deutscher Verein, held in Grays 20, at 12.30 o'clock.

The other parts went with varying degrees of competence; the chorus of students scarcely needed to believe itself German; and if Mr. Barnes-Hochberg's prince lacked romantic illusion--a very difficult thing to attain and one that very few of the impersonators of Karl Heinrich have gained--the speeches and the episodes that the play gives him helps to bring it. Slowness of pace was the short-coming...
