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
care OF and suitably entertained. The formal
reception, however, did not take place

e for social reunion and general Introduction,

this way the whole evening was rendered very
pleasant.
The speakers were introduced by Mr.. J. C.

The Arst one was Col. Allen who appeared be-
president OF the council and acting mayor,
during the absence of Mayor Rice.
He opened his remarks, of well
coms BY expressing the pleasure
he felt at meeting SO many gentlemen from
abroad. He had been called upon quite unex-
pectedly to perform the pleasing duty of
extending the welcome of St. Paul to the visl-
tors, and he could not therefore be expected to
make that welcome very elaborate but it would
be-, hearty and cordial. It seemed rather
strange that city away up north so far,
should be able to present attractions sufficient
10 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 Boenish, president of the st. Paul

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
