AZ very many Of the delegates and

pleasantly spent in renewing old ac-
quaintances and making new ones.
Our people were only too glad to vel
come the representatives of the Mime
sofa Sengerbund and everybody kept
open house. Nearly all the business

It was decided to hold the next
Sangerfest in Minneapolis one year
from now, the exact time to be decided
by the Minneapolis societies. There
was considerable discussion about the
advisability of continuing the practice
of prize singing at future s@ngerfests,
the prize singing in the past having
been a disturbing element in the bund.
1t was finally decided to continue the
practice, judges to be selected wholly
from societies not participating. The Sec
rotary was instructed to correspond
with the several societies not represent
ed at the convention and ascertain
their standing in the bund, it being in
ferred that their absence indicated a
desire to withdraw from the bund.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President Henry Hauschild; secre-
tary, Henry Bachman; treasurer, jos.
Rauch, all of the Frohsinn society,
Minneapolis. Each society elects its
own vice president of the bund.
A vote of thanks was unanimously
passed to the Maennerchor, Musen-
Soebne, Board of Trade and citizens of
New Ulm in general for courtieses
shown visiting members of the Mime.
sofa Sengerbund. The convention
then adjourned sine die.
In the evening the several societies
joined in a concert in Turner Hall,
which was quite we'll attended by our
people. The several numbers were
satisfactorily rendered and everybody
expressed themselves we'll pleased with
the evenings entertainment.
Sunday morning about fifty more
came up from St. Paul and Niinneapo-
lis, and they too were taken care of by
our citizens. Despite the extremely hot
weather, the picnic at Schell's grove
Sunday afternoon was largely attended
and it certainly was the jolliest crowd
that has gathered in this city for a long
cllne. 1ne procession through the city
previous to the tramp to the picnic
grounds was cut very short owing to
the extreme heat. The great majority
of the visitors departed for home on
the Sunday evening train, though not
few remained over until Monday
morning. All seemed to be we'll pleas
ed with their reception and entertain
ment by our people and the wish was
frequently expressed that the s@nger-
fest of the bund may be held in New
Ulm at no distant date.
A Commemorate Movement.
