The annual prize athletic contest of
the night class OF boys and girls, under
the direction of Professor Chas. Rohde,
took place last evening in the ball OF
the Turn Verein Germania. The affair
was attended by some of the best of
Los Angeles's German colony, many OF
whom were represented on the stage by
progeny of the present generation.
Many English-Americans, too, were
there, and ali were highly pleased with
the exhibition submitted to their judg-
ment. One of the best known educators
of Southern California, after seeing the
boys and girls 60 through their exercises
expressed the hope that so excellent a
system OF calisthenics and athletics as
that practiced in the Turn Verein might
soon be introduced in the public schools.
The exercises consisted not SO much
of displays of agility and strength as of
illustrations showing the method en-
ployed to develop in the young every
muscle Of the body, and facilitate the
use of every joint and sinew.
The perfect manner in which both
boys and gills went through their drills
shows the thoroughness with which
these exercises have been practiced.
The wand-drill of the boys, and the
long-pole exercise of the girls were es-
pecially notable, it being particularly
worthy. OF mention that several girls
certainly not more than six years of age
were in the class and took their part
with the rest. Rather a novel feature
for such an exhibition was the running
broad-jump by the girls, wherein the
young ladies showed astonishing pro-
ficiency.
The feature of the evening, however,
was the forming of living pyramids by
the boys class. Some of these struct-
ures were built up with the aid of lad
ders, while others consisted of human
bodies only. Ali were beautiful. and
