The morning call., 1894-10-26

Laughter and song and music intermingled
with the voices of pretty fiower-girls as
they beguiled tn gen tie dollars from the
pockets of defens eless SWANS. 1t was like
fairy land turned into one big, busting,
happy gatheri5g-a miniature Mini Nov
gorod in the heart of San Francisco.
There were booths Of many and fantastic
designs presided over by the charming
femini0ity of the occasion, where the
hungry and the thirsty soul alike could
appease the cravings of entirely fictitious
appetites. There was coffee as hot as The
Sahara and black as the Arabs who cross
it, needing no other sweetening influence
than that of the maldens who served il;
there was Ice cream and cake nOt half so
seductive as the young ladies who served
it, aud so on at all the booths, beauty ad
lib. till man. poor man, could only throw
up his hands and wonder what use he was
on earth anyway. They sold him cigars
ana they inveigled him into lottery. They
balted his hooks with darling chances and
led him TO the big fish pond in the center
to fish-for whales. maybe.
And how every body enjoyed himself and
herself. Cayking care was thrown TO the
winds and full vent was given to the eXu-
berance that had undoubtedly been accu-
mulated for the occasion. The old fellows,
some OF whom were young when the
Verein Eintracht was organized, enioyed
happy, and the young people were so glad
The old people were so cheerful. 1t only
takes that kind of an arrangement TO make
things 90 smoothly and thapsthe kind of
one that was uncODSci0uslv entered into.
So the members of the Verein Eintracht
have number of reasons for congratula-
ton. Their membership is as numerous
ana as representative as any in the city;
they have record To look back upon anu
be proud of; they have a magnif icei.t new
building. and the opening night Of their
celebration was more than a success. They
can also thank their lucky stars that they
have had the benefit of the assistance of
such charming and energetic ladies' CON-
mittee. Without their efforts there is not
a doubt but that the dedication would
have lacked a great deal of its charm.
The celebration is divided into four
evenings, devoted each to the singers,
the turner's. the sharpshooters and the
theatrical section. Last evening was
singers night, and the representatives of
that section of the Eintracht did them
selves lasting honor. The exercises were
opened with an overture by Hoge's or
chestra, after which the president, A.
EntZmann, opaned the fair with a short
address. which was received with cheers.
Abts charming "Im Valid" was rem
dered magnifceDtly by the San Francisco
Maennerchor. The young ladies' class
followed with charming song There
was chorus by the singing section and
drill by the boys class. The Teut0nia
singing section rendered a comic medley
very beautifully, aud the singing section
OF the San Francisco Turn Verein gave
the Rrrau's Polka in stirring voice. The
formal exercises of the evening were con-
cluded with o cleverly and SkillfUlly exc
cuted ladder pyramid by the active turner's
of the VereiD Elntracht uuder the leader
ship of Ii. G. +. Stah.
This evening the Turner's will be hon
ored and the programme will be even more
extenside. On Sunday evening the for
NAL dedication OF the hall and building
will take place. the fair will close and the
Verein EIntracht will be formally in pos
session of its new home. Addresses will
be made by three of the Oldest members
of the organization. in fact the only ones
living who took part in the organization

deliver bis address and the evening will

rage Question in Helgoland."
