II GROUNDS.
Here the first thing done on arriving
was a welcome speech by JnO l. Eich-
berg, ST., which was very neat and Ia
exceeding good taste-just the speech to
make everybody feel gengust3icb and at
home.
TIE ARRANGEMENTS
on the grounds were about the same az
last year. The musicians stand had
been q little reitted and the dancing
rick smOothed down q little but be-
yOnd these everything seemed as it did
last May day.
The sffair opened with about Eve hum
dred persons present, but as the day pro-
crossed, each car brought out its load,
and by two or half past two o'clock the
grounds were literally alive with plees-
ure seekers. Most OF this vast crowd
were Germans, but OF course there was q
large Rdmixture Of Americans and
others.
THE ADJUSTMENTS
Of the day were dancing, singing, turn
ing or gymnastics, and iadeed any othe.
rstiOnal msnBe of passing the time.
The arrangements for dancing were most
complete. The sward wzs perfectly
smooth and Was .spriBkled with saw
dust, making a most delightful dancing
floor. Handwerkel's band-the other
necessary-was ia tune and in their best
humor, so all went
Merry as a maria &c bell
keeping up the merrlment all day long.
H CONCoRDIA,
band OF vocalists, were also on the
grounds, and at intervals during the sf-
ternoon saog some choice chOr0ses,
etc.
HI TURNING
was excellent, and reflected great credit
on the gentleman who managed the
gymnastic exercises, as well as his pupils
and the gymnssts. It was kept up at in
tervals throughout the whole day, and
really astonishing feats of strength
and skill were performed.
a PROGRAMME.
Among other sources of amusement
the day was a humorous pro-
grRmme of the entertainment, which
was circulated among the crowd. No
one knows by whom it was gotten Ut,
but 1t bears the impress OF wit in every
line of it. It is too lengthy to copy en-
tire, and we shall content ourselves with
q few Of its best hits.
