Tho Meeting and Parade the Most Sue
cessfii In Its History.

CINCINNATI, o.. June 25.-Thc present
meeting Of the Turnerbund IL the most
successful one ever held. II Is much larger
in the number Of comrades and other at
tendants, and the arrangements have been
more adequate. The extensive grounds
used by the Order OF Cincinnatus for It's
exhibition Of lis representations Of Rome
under Nero and the Fall Of Babylon, have
been used as the place for athletic con.
tests, as well rs for the camping ground Of
the Zoo athletes. An amphithcaier, with
seats for 1900 people, affords the best
possible view Of the exercises. Then the
weather has been delightful from the be-
ginning, and today, which has been set
apart for the great parade, seems likely 10
DO everything that could be desired for
that purpose. The parado ends In Inwood
Park, on Mount Auburn, where general
picnic will be held, and where tho award.
ing Of prizes will be made known during
the afternoon.
The parade Of today Is the most con.
spicuous feature Of the meeting. The
whole line Of march has been profuscly
decorated by occupants Of buildings until
the streets are one line Of color. Tho ma
tional flag and great quantities Of the ma.
tional colors, red, white and blue, form the
principal part OF tho decorations. There
Is a notable absence Of tho German colors,
which on former occasions were much
more conspicuous The parade was formed
In sixty divisions The ilnt two contained
members OF the various Turn circuits"
present, the third was made up Of the
GOO active Turner'S, the fourth Of local
military organizations, the fifth Of Men
nerchors and singing societies. and the
sixth OF Turner'S.
Tho city contributed its Mayor, its
mounted police, is patrol wagons and a
portion Of It's snowy fire department 20
grace the occasion. Tho parade started
from Turner Hall, on Walnut street, about
10 o'clock, and passcl through the prin-
cipal streets 10 lnwood Park. Everywhere,
especially In the German portions Of the
city. the streets we're thronged with en-.
thusiaslic and admiring spectators. The
great strength OF the Turnerbund az shown
by this demonstration ~ well a. the thor.
ough discipline and training, as was made
apparent by the precision oi marching and
tie perfect physique Of the active Turner'S,
made lasting impressions on the behold
ers.
