Grand Ball.

the games was large.
The various visiting vereins gathered
at Turner Hall at $50 A. NJ, and, under
escort of the Sacramento Verein, and
headed by the Artillery Band, they
marched through the principal streets to
Richmond Grove.
CONTESTS OF STRENGTH.
The games were resumed at about 10
O'Clock. Thea apparatus work was finished
on Sunday, and yesterdays competitions
were all of the legitimate outdoor order.
They consisted in the forenoon of high
jumping, rope climbing, weight lifting
and hop-step- The hundred or
more competitors were divided off into
classes, and while one class was engaged
in jumping the others We're competing at
something else. Thus, there was some
thing going on constantly, and the spec
tators were kept busy trying to see
everything.
The exhibitions of strength and agility
given by the first class were unusually
line. Good records were made at jump
ing and rOpe-climbing. Frank Ruhstal-
Ter, Jr., was the most prominent Sacra-
mentan in the games, and he surprised
the visitors with his hop-step- and Jump
and running high jump. The weight
lifting contest was very interesting.
Owing to the lead he obtained during
Sundays contests on the apparatus, j.
LEM, of the San Francisco Turn-Verein,
was still in the lead for the all-round
championship when the forenoon eXer-
cises were concluded.
At noon a recess was taken for lunch.
IN THE AFTERNOON.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the contests were
resumed, both in the regular competition
for first prize of the Bezirk and for the
special prizes. The special events were
Of the class that could not be included in
the regular championship list, and con-
sisted OF the l00-yard foot-race, wrestling,
putting the heavy shot, fencing, club
swinging and reciting.
The regular events that were contested
were the pole-vault and putting the light
shot. AS these events had to be counted
in with those preceding them on Sunday
1t was not possible at the time to figure
out who the winners were, except that
Lenz was still in the lead for the cham
pionship.
One Of the best of the special events was
the I00-yard race. There were six start
ers, and all were swift runners. AS there
was not room enough in the park for the
race, II was run on the street in front of
the park. After hard run Dick Knaak,
OF the Eintract Verein of San Francisco,
won the race in eleven seconds. Knaak
is an unusually apt young man, and by
the championship. He was recent res
ident of Denver.
UNGERMAN NOT IN IT.
Many people went out to the park in
the afternoon expecting to see Gus I'm
german in the wrestling bouts Unger-
man is a member of the Verein Eintracht
of San Francisco, and is the amateur all
round champion wrestler Of the Pacific
Coast, having won tnat title at the tOurna-
ment held in the Olympic Clubs rooms
IN San Francisco two years ago. He is
really middle-weight, but wrestles all
comers in the amateur ranks. He was
only beaten once in his life, and that was
by Jules Tibbatts of the Olympic Club,
who has long since retired from the
arena.
But the crowd was disappointed yester-
day. Ungerman, while he competed on
the various apparatus on Sunday, did not
put in an appearance at all yesterday,
having been summoned back to San
Francisco to attend to some business.
The wrestling bouts given by the others,
however, were quite interesting.
The heavy shOt-puttlng contest, one of
the special prize events, was watched by
large and interested crowd ofspectatorS.
The shot weighed thirty pounds. New
man of the EintrachtS won the event
with a.recOrd of is feet inches.
Late in the afternoon there was a rifle
shoot, and some exhibitions of fencing
and club-swinging, all of which were
highly interesting.
jacob ON DECK.
Among the notables who are here with
the Bezirll is Philo jacob, the famous
rifle shot, carrying a breastful of hand
some medals. 1t was Mr.. jacob who
represented California at the Worlds
Shoot in Europe last year, and who
brought the honors to this country with
him when he returned. He did not enter
for the shooting prizes yesterday, pre-
fering as he expressed il himself "tO
give the young fellows a chance"
Otto Freund, who in former years was
one of the best turner's in San Francisco,
is here with the Eintrachts, but is not
participating in the contests.
Charles Hartman and Clement Shuster,
who are two OF the best gymnasts and all
around Turner athletes on the coast to-
day, are here also, as spectators. These
young men have Oh various occasions
represented the Pacific Bezirk in the ma
tional turning festivals in the East, and
twice represented the BeZirk against the
world in Europe. In each instance they
acquitted themselves with honor
Conrad Flach and R. Stahl, two famous
instructors, are here with the San Fran
cisco Nereins, and take an active interest
in the proceedings.
Late in the afternoon there was a SWIM
ming contest, near the Yolo bridge, in
which there were four contestants. A.
Hasche of Oakland was an easy winner.
THE BALL.
The new Pavilion never looked so
gay, nor contained such large and lively
throng as it did last night-the occasion
being the Turner's grand ball.
The big hall was gayly decorated and
brilliantly lighted. There were fully
2,030 persons present and 400 couples in
the grand march. The Artillery Band
furnished excellent music for the dancers.
The arrangements and supervision of
the ball were entirely under the super
vision of the Sacramento Nereln, and
that organization is deserving of much
praise for the excellent and orderly man
ner in which the big affair was carried
out.
