Notwithstanding the wretched con.
dition of things, the pro cession made q
creditable showing. Had the weather
been favorable it would undoubtedly
have been one of the finest ever wit
messed in Central Missouri. Great
regret and universal disappointment
were expressed that the elaborate ar
engagements Of the managers Of the
celebration should have been 90 sadly
interrupted.
AT THE PARK.
The scene at the park was one OF
activity and the vast grounds had
been transformed into q picture of
life and beauty, which the rain had
sadly marred. An arch, decorated
appropriately with American and
German colors, bearing the word
Environment" spanned the main
entrance to the park. Among the
different booths beautifully arranged
we're these, which would have been
we'll patrenized but for the rain
"Keltser Appel und Wein," where
a cider press produced the pure juice
of the apple in old time style.
"Der Katie Stube" was neatly ar.
ranged, where F. Blunchen served
out coffee, cakes and sandwiches to
customers.
The "Two Eds" had a booth filled
with confectionery, fruits, etc., which
was arranged attractively.
A large pyramid with bouquets of
various designs was one of the bright
and pretty attractions.
The "Kass Stube," was a center of
attraction. 1t was a distinctly Swiss
feature of the Jahrmarkt, where gen.
uine milk was drawn from bona fide
COWS, as ordered by the customer.
Cheese and butter was also sold.
In the floral hall was the "Beyrishe
Bier Halle" where table and seats
were arranged for ease and comfort
while enjoying the national beverage.
The weather caused all the congrega-
ton in this quarter.
Mr.. Frank Kruger had nice ar
ranged the "Berliner Vein Stube."
A large number of handsomely painted
wine casks containing imported wines
of different manufacture from the
Rhine and the choicest vineyards of
European lands, was feature of the
exhibition.
Not much beyond a social reunion
could be had under the circumstances,
but this was heartily enjoyed, inter.
spersed with music and some speeches.

1t took good deal of nerve to
march out to the Park in the mud

nerve Sedalians are always in it.
