| the highest praise at the various eX-
hibitS. The particular attractions of
the day were the German dinner, and
the musical and dramatic entertainment
in the evening at Turner hall. The
dining room at the Arcade was
beautifully decorated with Ger
man flags, and the national col
| OrS of the fatherland we're twined
in all directions. Four large portraits
| in elegant frames stood in the middle of
the room on easels, draped in the Ger
man colors. They were life-like por-
lures of Bismarck, the present emperor,
his lamented father the late emperor,
and his grandfather, Kaiser William L.
The ladies who were in charge of the
arr angementS were:
Mrs. Maurice Auerbach, assisted by Mrs
Won Goetzein, Mrs. Koltf, Mrs. Peabody, Mrs.
MRS. Van den Bergh, Mrs. Albert Scherter,
Mrs. Gruber, Mrs. Christian Frey, Mrs AL
bert Lindeke, Mrs. Schrader, Mrs J.. Schur-
meier, Mrs William Constans, Mrs. Otto
kueffner, Mrs. NJ. Propping, Mrs. g. Heine-
mann. Mrs. F. Siebold.
Neat little mattresses dressed in
white, with hair braided. and wearing
caps made of the German colors, bus
tied hither and thither, looking after
the crowd OF hungry business men who
fiOcked into the building from - to 9.
The scene was a most animated
one, for not only was every
seat occupied. but a large crowd
congregated near the doors waiting to
occupy seats at the tables as soon as
| they were vacated. In fact, the rush
was SO great that over two hundred per-
sons were turned away, who, no doubt,
must have felt disappointed when those
frl, tn f,lN t.aitr
seats told them later of all the good
things supplied. The dinner was
strictly German, and the speise carte
contained the names of dishes which
tOuk the reader back to Inter der LIN
den. The regular lunch and tea count
erS were also beSieged, and the ladies
in charge must have felt highly gratified
at the appreciation by the public of
their labUrs. Extra accOmmOd alton will
be supplied during the rest of the week
in the dining room, so that all corners
will be served.
In the evening large audience as
sembled in Turner hall to witness the
entertainment, and, when Prof. DanZ
lifted his baton to lead the overture,
standing room only could be obtained.
The first numbers on the programme
were exercises in calisthenicS by classes
of Toys and girls under the instruct on
of Prof. Julius c. Hermann. The lads
and lassieS varied In age from seven to
fourteen, and were dressed in knicker-
booker suits and white-braided serge
dresses respectively. TO the strains of
the military march the children moved
through a number of intricate move
mentS with regularity which evoked
the plaudlts of the audience.
The second number on the programme
was piano solo Of popular melodies, ar
ranged and executed by Greve Open
helm. The audience was surprised
when neat White-capped bonnie led
onto the stage a beautiful boy of four
years of age, dressed in white, with
shoulder Knot of German coiors on his
right side. The child was seated on the
piano stool. and played number
of popular airs in manner
truly phenomenal. The little fellow
was thoroughly in earnest, and it was
difficult to realize that so young child
could possess so much talent. He was
greeted at the close of his SOLO with vo-
ciferOus applause, and for an en-
core played a duet with his mother,
Mrs. A. Oppenheim. Two handsome
baskets of flowers were presented TO
the young artist, who stood bowling his
acknowledgement of the applause
which saluted him. 1t was stated that
he plays entirely by ear. and has not
been taught, and there can be no doubt
but that in few years he Will become
great pianist.
Herr Oscar Lienau sang sim Herbst,"
by r. Franz, and "Barcaroe," by r.
Friend, in his Weli-knOWn artistic man
ner, and was compelled to respond to
the wish of the audience with third
song.
Fraulein uulda Voedish executed a
difficult arrangement of Lucia di
Lammermoor' on the violin. Her
technique and time were very perfect,
| and she was loudly congratulated at the
close Of the solo, and was obliged to re-
| peat the number.
The Turnveren Germania choir. COM
posed of twenty-four male voices,
brought the first part of the programme
| to close with grand rendition of
Fevd Mornings "Vorbei." The vol
ume of tone filed the large
hall, and the number was, per-
| hapS, the most successful of the
whole programme. An encore
was demanded, and the choir responded
with the beautiful German melody
Elm SchOne Zelt."
The entertainment was concluded
with the performance of the One-act
comedy Die Respectable Gesellschaft,"
