These, with the American flag, the
red.' white and black OF Germany, and
the laurel wreath fer which the Turner'S
met the eye at brief intervals
everywhere about the city yesterday.
The Turner'S have moved In, and the
town ia theirs! It was a peaceful inva.
sion. The great Bezirks funniest opened
last night with n scene OF brilliancy not
equalled, certainly, since the last Presi.
dentiai campaign. To-day the real ies.
~tivities begin, and the contests will
probably DO concluded
Early yesterday morning the work Of
decoration began. By moor the town
looked gay, and last evening the build.

weyethe exception, and even These will
doubtless BIZ decorated early to-day. The
city has not shown up az well In this re-.
spect since the big reunion of'S7. The
Germans never do anything by halves,
and on this occasion their enthusiasm
in a good cause was contagious, and all
classes seem to have |. bad. T
In all the decorations the American
flag p!edominated, while wreathes, fes.
.oous. stare, evcrsreens, the German
colofs and every appropriate decoration
appeared. Large flags swayed in the
breeze across the streets. and small ones
almost hid buildings. Bowers OF green
and the %tri.colors cauopied the side
walks. Shields, arches, mottoes in En-.
glish and in German, greeted the eye
everywhere.
All day long and late into the even.
ing the sound o: the hammer lacking
up hags and decorations was heard, and
it IL evidenttha the decorations are not
yet all in place.

active Turner'S on the State Fair Ground
were completed early Yesterday. In the
main building long rows OF cots were

tact, the committee giving the work to
