Witness a Celebration.
q clear sky and a zephyr, soft as a
whispered prayer, ushered in the ami
yersary of independence Day for 1892.
Along with it came the booming of can
non and the constant racket of the pistol
and fire cracker and before many hours
had slipped away the streets were well
lined with people. The small boy, ever
ready to make himself heard, the little
girl with her new white dress of which
she was just as proud as she was of her
country and the young man from the
country who having heard ..ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-a" for the first time, hummed it
all day-all were on deck and having a
jolly good time. One thing in particu-
lar was noticeable the absence of an
noying demonstrations and useless and
rowdy disturbances. Everybody was
happy, but no one was inclined to be
rough.
The parade in the morning did not
possess many new features over those
given in our city on previous occasions
but at any rate it was creditable. At
the head came Col. Pfaender and Adit.
Eckstein and following them were the
Concordla Band, Company A, Hecker
Post, Burg's Battery, the Mayor and
council and the speakers. In the second
division, headed by VIM. Koch, were the
Silver Cornet Band, the st. Joseph's
Society, Turnverein, and the pupils of
the Turner, Lutheran and Catholic
schools. The third division with JOS. A.
Eckstein as marshal included the Mos
quito Band, the Fire Department and the
various floats. The latter represented
the business houses of Louis Buenoer.
John Hauenstein, Aug. Schell, Wagner
& Saverien, w. Eibner, the American
Express Company and Andrew J. Eek
stein.
At the close of the street exhibition,
the more impressive exercises were held
in Turner Hall Park. Singing and the
reading of the Declaration started the
program and then followed addresses in
English and German by Prof. Nix of this
city and Louis Stern OF ST. Paul. Both
gentlemen were eloquent and logical in
their brief discourses and instead of
plucking feathers from the eagle gave
their listeners the benefit of careful
thought and valuable suggestions.
In the afternoon the crowd divided
up between the various parks. Around
Turner Hall lowered good share of the
throng and financially the picnic was a
success. VIM. Julius won the solid cold
medal III bowling and Emil Wichelski
won the silver one. Julius made 81 in
three throws.
In German Park and around Schmuck-
er's Tvoli, Company A and the Concor-
dia Band furnished amusement to MANY.
Prize shooting was the chief feature here
and the prizes were awarded as follows:
B. Carols, rifle; Julius Krause, a revol-
yer and cigarholder; Henry Meyer, pipe.
| On college hill and near the Catholic
church interesting picnics were also held.
The Methodists OF, the city repaired to
the country and enjoyed the quiet Of
| Carl Schramm's grove in Milford.
In the evening the crowd gathered
around the Sioux Monument and witness
ed the finest display of fireworks ever
seen in New Ulnn. 1t was indeed beau
tiful sight. Many of the rockets were
new and the variety rendered the scenic
effect pleasing to all.
Then came the dances in the various
halls and good attendance is reported
from all.
