Lutzelberger’s Grove was a private park in Lansingburgh that was the predecessor of Young’s Grove. It was in operation from 1869 to 1874, at which point the executor of Lutzelberger’s estate leased it to Young; it continued to be called Lutzelberger’s Grove for a couple years more out of habit or tradition.

—Everybody’s friend, Aleck. Lutzelberger, has invested heavily in the real estate business. He has just purchased of the heirs of the Lansing estate, seven and a half acres of land lying on Gould street, Vail Avenue, and River street, Lansingburgh—the whole making about one hundred building lots. The price paid was about $15,000.

—This morning shortly after 9 o’clock Boshart’s Zouaves and Capt. Platt’s command, accompanied by Flockton’s and Sullivan’s bands, proceeded to Lutzelberger’s grove where the Independent Base Ball Club’s pic nic is taking place and indulged in a target shoot. At about 2 o’clock they marched back to the city and halted at Battery B’s armory in Wotkyn’s Block, where a handsome collation had been provided. The interior of the armory had been handsomely decorated with flags and suitable inscriptions hung upon the walls. Speeches, brief and appropriate, were made, and an hour spent in social enjoyment. The Poughkeepsie company leave for home at 4:05 this afternoon.

☞ THE COMING GERMAN PEACE JUBILEE.—At a meeting of Germans at Apollo Hall last night it was fully determined to hold a grand peace jubilee on the 29th of May. A committee of twenty-seven was appointed to make special arrangements. All the German societies in this vicinity will probably turn out. The general plan is to have a procession in the morning, which will pass through several streets of the city, and then proceed to Lansingburgh, where it will countermarch and return to Lutzelberger’s Grove or Rensselaer Park. A grand pic-nic will then occupy the remainder of the day. It will undoubtedly be an immense affair.
