 THE STATE TURNFEsT. What Our Local Turner's Are Doing for Their Four Days, Festival-Expect- ing a Large Number of Turners-Re-
 ceptiOn This Evening and Picnic To- morrow.
 Turn Hall was fairly alive with active and muscular young athletes last evening They were dressed in gauge undershirts, gray pants with blue belts and canvas slippers, and they were exercising on parallel bars, trapezes and other contrivances for increas- ing muscle and skill. One party of eight stalwart young men were going through ex- ercises in fencing, and their regular strokes given in time to the "ein, swei, trei" of the leader, were very pretty and even looked quite forcible. The stage looked like one of the fairies bowers of old with it's rustic scenery and masses of green, from which several busy workmen were evolving fes- toons and garlands with which they were draping the hall.
 These active preparations were making for the State turnfest which begins this evening. The contests are to be rewarded by liberal prizes. The.vsrfous societies which are ex- pected to be present are those of Meriden, Hartford, Holyoke, Rockville, Collinsville, Waterbury and Bridgeport. A delegation from Bridgeport is also expected. These dele gations will be met at the Derby and Union depots by the New Haven society about 8:30 this evening. The American band will head the procession to Turn Hall It will be 0 torchlight parade through the principal streets. At the hall an address of welcome will be delivered by Charles Weidig, chair man of the committee of arrangements. The evening will be spent in pleasant social en- joyment and Q banquet will be served.
 On Sunday there will be con tests in swim ming and other gymnastie exercises at South End. On Monday the gymnastie exercises will be continued at Sehnetzen Pard. Tuesday night there will be grand ball at Turn Hall when the prize awards will be announced. The judges for the various contests will be men out of the State one from New York, two from Boston and one from Lawrence, Mas The whole affair promises be very sue eessful and 1t certainly deserves success.
