It Is needless to say that the orches.
tra's contribution to the entertainment
was all that could be desired. That or.
gauization always aCquits itself In q
to reflect credit on itself and on |
The city. The part Of the programme
IN which members Of the Turnyerein
took part was also OF character to re.
dect credit on professionals. It was in
The performance OF the pupils Of the |
physical training classes that all were
interested on this occasion,
however, and to say tibet these were
pleasing Is to express the fact in q
weak way. The audience applauded
VociieFoasly. The manner in which the |
children did what was assigned to them
demonstrated the advantage OF Just such |
culture. While it is good training, good
discipline and good development, It Is
also fun for the performer, and the little
1nes get all the good out oft while en-
oying themselves as much as II at their
games.
The address in German by DR.. u
iich was an. interesting and suggestive
ak Of fifteen minutes, and was received
With hearty applause. Dr., Jepson made |
only brief remarks, but he took occasion
o endorse the physical training and
Prof. Krogh in no uncertain way. He
the Germans for teaching
Americana several valuable lessons, one
1f them the advantage OF play, and the
,ther the value OF holidays. His ad.
lress was warmly received.
After tho fencing bout, which was
very fine, Prof. Krogh was presented
with most magnificent sword OF natural
lowers. The hilt was Of fine roses; the |
guard Of heliotrope and the blade OF |
solid white carnations. The audience
.pplauded wildly as the beautiful pres. |
ant was handed over the footlights by
IN uaher. It was thegift OF the young
aides Of the Professors physical culture
