when they clearly formulated their plans
for the coming fete.
The members of the literary and ex-
hibition committee--M. Greenblatt CHAIR
mani, Theodore Kirchhoff, M. Kollmann,
R. Wienecke, Louis Roesch, A. Entzma ann,
r. Capelle, J. Simmer, G. Uhlig, e. frost,
A. H. r. Schmidt-and the committee on
decorations-E. L. Hueter chairman,
John II. Sievers, Chris Roeber. f. Rqether
and M. Northumberland the grouping
and mum Der of the booths, and appointed
E. A. Otto, an artist of acknowledged
ability, to superintend their arrangement.
There will be fifteen booths, all Illus
trating some feature of the works of Ger
many's literary giants. 1t is intende ed
that the booths be so appointed that they
will form one harmonious and artistic
whole. There will be one general plan, all
the details of which will receive careful
attention. The committees will avoid any
such anachronism as girl in eighteenth
century attire in sixteenth century booth
and such incongruities as Marguerite
dressed in the fashion of a grand dame.
Each booth will be an arristic representa-
ton of some scene from the German
classics, and the occupants of the same will
be appropriately costumed to represent the
characters figuring in those scenes.
The ladies of ''Lilly's Park booth will
contribute to the success of the entertain
ment postoffice. The fair attaches of the
mimic government institution will wear
costumes suggestive of the carrier dove,
and envelopes will be conspicuous baoges
Of their attire. They will give special
dance.
There will be Faust booth in charge of
ladies from Alameda and others. Their
plan, according to the requirement that
each booth give its quota OF a special en-
tertainment, is to give an old Bavarian
dance, the participants in which will be
attired in peasant and hunting garb.
A weirdly fascinating scene will be the
representation of the Broken and the
dance of the witches.
The opening evening of the series, No
vember 5, will be occupied by a programme
consisting of an orchestral overture;
grand chorus of voices with orchestral &C
com paniment; an address by the presI-
dent of the association, G. Bunuschu, and
grand march in which representatives of
the principal German organizations will
participate. It is expected that at least
1000 persons will be seen in the march,
which will close with a series of panto-
mines or ''acting pictures" in which a ma
iority of that mum Der will join. These will
be enacted on picturesque stage with a
magnificent woodland setting of natural
trees.
The following evenings programme will
be under the auspices of the Turner'S or
German athletic societies. The Schuetzen
and singing societies will have charge of
the next EVENINGS entertainment, and the
fourth will be partially controlled by the
Olympic Club. This November 81 will be
the suburban evening, and special ar
rangements will be made for the attend
ance of persons residing outside the City.
On Saturday, November 8, there will be
an afternoon programme devoted to chill
dren, when the entertainment will be of a
character to please the juvenile popula-
ton, and the price of admission will be re-
duced. A grand ball that evening will
close the fete.
