ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for the Next
Three Days

The Welcome to the Brethren at the
Acknowledgements for the Next
Three Days. fS
In accordance with the announcement made
in these columns, the Turner's gathered in St.
Paul yesterday in considerable numbers and
were received by their brother Turner's in q
becoming manner, and all were properly taken
9care of and suitably entertained. The formal
reception, however. did not take place
till evening at the Athenaum, when the home
societies and those visiting gathered together
for social reunion and general introduction.
mingled with music and speech making. In
this way the whole evening was rendered very
pleasant.
The speakers were introduced by Mr.. J. c..
Haupt, the president of the Turner society.
The first one was Col. Allen who appeared be-
fore the organization to represent the city. as
president of the council and acting MAYOR,
during the absence of Mayor Rice.
He opened his remarks OF well
come by expressing the pleasure
he felt at meeting so many gentlemen from
abroad. He had been called upon quite unex-
peetedlv to perform the pleasing duty of
extending the welcome of 81. Paul to the visi-
p tors, and he could not therefore be exnected to
make that welcome very elaborate but it would
be hearty and cordial. 1t seemed rather
strange that q city away mp north 30 far,
should be able to present attractions sufficient
TO induce people from the east to come such
long distances. He felt proud of having such
an organization as the Turner's here in st.
Psul, and had no doubt they would do all
that should be necessary to render the stay OF
the visitors pleasant.
Prof. Boen,sh, president Of the st. Paul
Turnverein, welcomed the turner's on behalf
of the st. Paul societies, and explained what
the Turner's contemplate in education. he
closed by expressing the hope that the festi-
val would lead to something valuable and
good.
Col. Pfaender briefly argued that the main
idea should be to carry out the plans Of the
Turner's for education.
Mr.. Hahn. of Bellville, III, gave a brief
history Of the Turner's society. since 1885.
The Turner Organization had always been in
favor of personal liberty. and was always Ca
the side Of right. .-
Mr.. Ropp, of the Tolks=eitung,
said all had spoke of the men and be
thought something should be said IN flavor Of
women. he referred to Milwaukee, W here the
ladies had made themselves quite distinguished
IN some parts of the business belonging to the
Turner'S.
The remarks of sll the gentlemen were made
in German except those of Col. Allen.
After the formal speaking was concluded
those present INDUCED In a very pleasan
time, the Great Western band
furnishing some olendid music.
