In the big funniest here two years ago
there were fourteen societies particle
pating. It is expected that this year
there will beeighteen. Wheeling may
be expected TO come off with no mean
share of the honors. She has always
held her own creditably, and Professor
Krogh, the efficient tuinteacher, and
his pupils have devoted good deal OF
time to periecting themselves for the
coming severe, though friendly, contest.
Last night an INTELLIGEEoER reporter
Witnessed rehearsal at Turner hal,
under direction of Professor Krogh, and
the work done there was OF a character
to encourage one to hope for great
things from the Wheeling class.
The work done last night is the same
as the classes as whole will compete
in. The entire fifteen went through
evolutions and the manual with five.
pound steeI'wauds with precision and
grace that were very pleasing and i'm.
pressiVe Then the class in divisions OF
five went through exercises on three
parallel bars, and then through exer-
cises in high Jumping. All cleared a
stick at 8 feet inches easily, while
many exceeded this great deal.
In individual exercises, also, Wheel
ing has some members that can hold
their own. These consist OF horizontal
bar and parallel bar exercise, exercise
on the side and long horse, rope climb
ing, long and high jump, club swinging
and fencing. Swimming and wrestling
are included, but this city has no con-
testants.
Last night the best long jump was 10
feet inches-certainly good for indoor
work; but the other night 1t was beat
on, one contestant clearing IL feet 8
inches in tho hall.
In the individual contests Herman
and Christ Schambra, Albert Fisher,
Joe Jacobs Frank Miller and Ed Brand
fass are the Wheeling contestants: The
members Of the class which will COM
pete ms whole are: Herman Scham'
bra, Christ Schambra, Albert Fisher,
Edward Brandtass, George Brandfass,
Joe Kurtz, Charles Miller. William Sui
livan, Charles Woeber, Frank Miller,
Charles Jahnke, Harry Burke, Charles
Dittmar, Frank Straub and Joseph ia
cobs.
Prof. Krogh is certainly the right
man for his place. He not only gives
his classes thorough training, but In
fuses intotham an espnt de corps which
will do much to win success in the con-
tests.
