New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-06-27
The exercises of the previous day were


repeated for class prizes aud the intense
rivalry existing among the boys was ap-
parant in all their actions. The New
Ulm boys easily excelled in rope-chmb-
ing and jumping, but when it came to
the exercises on the bar and horse they
fell behind. Their jumping however
was we'll worth looking at. Every mem
Der of the class went over the 9 point
mark without missing, whereas in the
other classes it devolved upon two OF
three athletic fellows to bring up the
average of the rest.
After the prize contests were conclud-
ed, about fifty ladies from St. Paul and
Minneapolis gave an exhibition in club
swinging that was delightful to look
upon.
Then came the wand drill in which all
of the csass took part. With glistening
steel wands and all dressed in similar
suits, the boys presented an appearance
as they went through the many different
movements, that called for loud bursts
of applause from the assembled multi
tuie. This over, number of mon to
whom rope-climbing and bar exercises
| were new thing. formed class and
went through the different exercises,
| There was President Anneke for instance
Chas. Hauenstein, J. II. St1asser, E. Malt
zahn, Fred Pfaender, Chas. Hauser, Otto
Schell. T. Mueller. H. C. Gerlach and
others. From such men it can be i'm
agined that great feats followed in
quick succession.
In the evening, the local Dramatic
Section produced Der Process Hansl".
The hall was packed to overhowing with
people and standing room even was at a
premium. Thirty took part in the
play, and so good was it that we regret
that space forbids a more detailed de-
scription of the plot and the players. Il
will be reproduced next Sunday how
ever and then We expect to be able to dc
them justice.
Monday morning opened BEAUTIFULLY
and, while the crowd that hovered about
the park was small, the exercises were
none the less Interesting than they had
been at any time during +he Fest. A
group consisting of Herman Gurnau, W
Mueller an6 Adolph Stamwitz, went
throug three exercises. high jumping,
high and long jumping and lifting
;-uudred-pound weight. Mueller easily
excelled in the former, but when it came
to lifting the weight. Grunau showed far
Superior strength, raising it repeatedly
from eigh% inches above the ground to
the full length of his arms above the
head twenty-one times, while Stamwitz
raised 1t only eleven times and Mueller
only twice. This feat gave Grunau the
first prize in the group, and gained for
him areputation for strength that is held
by none other in the state. He belong.
to the Germania Society, of ST. Paul.
Mueller's jumping was admirable. With
ease he scaled the rod at height of five
feet and seven inches at the end of the
run, and of four feet five inches at dist
anee Of ten feet from the jumping place.
Mueller has never met his equal in high
jumping, even at the Milwaukee turnfest,
and he maintained his reputation today
with credit. He also belongs to the
Germania, Stamwitz proved a close
second, making FIVE feet six. In another
group, Mueller, Stamwitz and Koch
entered into the hop, skip and jump,
pole va"lting and running contests.
Mueller made record of forty feet three
Inches. making most points, as he also
did in pole vaulting, eith a record of
nine feet seven inches. Four participant
ed in the running match of 100 Yards.
Snow made it in 121 seconds, Stamwitz
in 12f, Mueller in 10 and Koch in 118.
The latter was compelled to run twice
owing to the failure of the Judges to
take time in his first effort at it, which is
conceded, entitled him to record of 10
seconds. Saturday evening the prizes
were awarded and the best of feeling
prevailed among the victors. West Min.
neapolis captured first prize, the Germa-
mia OF St. Paul second, New Ulm third,
Duluth fourth, West st. Paul fifth and
St. Anthony sixth.
For individual exercises of the first
grade in class work of all kinds, Adolpb
Stamwitz, Of West Minneapolis, first:
William E. Koch, of New Ulm, second
Robert Brandt, of New Ulm, third; and
