ner in which it was arranged. We
were not able to procure the names of
all the ladies, but have been informed
that their names will all be given in a.
formal acknowledgment by the Mon
umental Association, at the next meet
ing, and presented us for publication.
THE STANDS,
Were well provided with articles of
various descriptions, such as cakes,
candies, and other delicacies, and un-
der the supervision of the ladies also.
We have not yet been able to learn
the amount realized at each of lose
stands and at the table, but will en-
deavor to do so as soon as possible,
and furnish our readers with de-
tailed statement of the result of the
labors of these ladies, to whom so
much is due for the success of the
cause. at
Gave an exhibition of their skill in
gymnastics, which elected a great deal
of applause. Some of the gentle
men performed very difficult feats
with great ease, grace and elegance.
At the time of this exercise there
were more people collected together
than at any other time during the
whole day. We heard many speak in
high terms of praise of that perform
ance. The exercises were repeated at
4 o'clock, and gave general satisfac-
ton.
THE LIEDER KRANZ
The, German Lieder Kranz is one
of the best singing societies in the
city. The songs were all German,
the words of which we could not
understand, but the melody was sweet.
These gentlemen have practiced a
great deal, and on one or two occa-
sions we have had the pleasure of
listening to them, and it has always
been with great satisfaction.
THE sALUTEs
Were fired by some German artillerists
at 6 o'clock in the morning, at noon
and at 6 o'clock in the evening. Sergt.
John HI. Yost, assisted by Christian
Wonderlich, Christoph Heilman,
Emil Kuchlen, VIM. Smitz and H.
Dorr, performed their part of the la
Dor in a highly creditable manner,
with great care, and with promptness.
1t is too often the case that on such
occasions accidents occur, but those
gentlemen with characteristic and
praiseworthy soldier care, guarded
against accidents.
j THE COMMIssARY DEPARTMENT,
Which was detached from the main
ground a couple of hundred yards
was not as well patronized as
it was hoped it would be, but we be-
lieve the result was satisfactory. We
believe there was less drinking than
is usual on an occasion of that
kind; hence the Commissary Depart
ment was not such success as was
anticipated. After having spent a
pleasant and agreeable day, the peo-
pie returned home to get ready to
witness the exhibition of
r FIREWORKS.
1t was greatly to be regretted that
circumstances seemed almost to com
pei the committee, having that part of
the programme in charge, to com
so early. At an early hour in
the evening, the crowd gathered near,
and it was impossible to press them
back 1t was supposed that all had
reached the place of exhibition, the
crowd being so great, and so eager to
have the exhibition commence. We
have not space to speak in detail
of each piece, but suffice it to say that
the exhibition was far superior to any
thing that has ever been witnessed in
the city of Evansville. There was not
a failure in single instance, each
piece going off readily, to the admira-
ton of the thousands who witnessed
the exhibition. Those who had
chance to take a survey of the crowd,
and from whom we heard an opinion,
gave it that there were not less than
nine or ten thousand people who wit
messed the fireworks. The revolving
globe was loudly cheered, and GER
