WEST MILL CREEK TUREvEREIN.
Celebration Of tho Second Anniversary Last
Saturday.

Saturday.
1t having been made general.
ly known that the members o.
the West Mill Creek Turnvc.
rein would celebrate their sec
ond anniversary on last Satur-
day, the 27th inst, a large crowd
assembled to witness the exer-
cises of the day. The day was
propitious, being clear, cool and
pleasant. At 9 o'clock the
gates Of the fest grouds, near
Fahner's Hall, were thrown
open, and by 10 o'clock people
began to arrive quite freely.
The exercises in the morning
consisted of music by the b.
hemian band and singing of ma
tional airs and humorous songs
by several members of the Ger
mania Mennerchoir, Of this city,
which added greatly to the
pleasures of the day. Every
body seemed to be in the
heighth of enjoyment and the
day passed pleasantly, until
the hour of q o'clock arrived,
when the contest of the Turner's
two from each club-was an
nounced. Everybody congre-
gated around the spot selected
for the performance. The con-
test consisted of exercises on
the horizontal bar-three trials
each, resulting in the awarding
of prizes to the following gen
tlemen,. as the most skilled per-
formers:
Ist PRECIOUS Ammons,
I'd prize-Willie Stuckert,
sd prize-Hennan Neumah,
4th prizc-Rudolph Stuckert,
9Th prize-L7urence Fox.
In awarding the 5th prize to
Fox the fact was taken into
consideration that his club were
"new-beginners," with but little
practice, and not on the ground
of genuine merit. There were
fifteen participants in the exer-
cises and all did remarkably
well.
THE BALL,
which terminated the days fes-
tivities, was given at Fahner's
large hall and was largely atten-
ded-literally crowded, and all
who wished to dance had ample
opportunity, as the members of
the Mill creek turnverein were
very kind and courteous to all
visitors, especially members of
visiting clubs.
Taken altogether the celebra-
ton was a perfect success, fine
ly enjoyed by all who were so
fortunate as to be present.
KNOCKED DowN.-About II
or II o'clock on Friday night
as Mr.. John Cloud, of Hemp
stead, was on the sidewalk on
the south side Of the square on
his way to the Pennington
house, he was met by a good
sized rooster who asked him if
he was a cowboy, he said he
was; the rooster then asked
him if he had any money. Cloud
replied that he generally had
enough to do him. The rooster
then struck him a terrific blow
On the head with a sand-bag.
When Cloud recovered he found
that his left trousers pocket had
been amputated with a knife
and the rooster was out of sight.
Cloud had no money in that
pocket, but had some change in
his vest pocket which was un-
nolested.
