One was from the San Francisco Turn
Verein, and the other was composed of
members of the Vorwaerts Verein.
All went away glowing with enthusiasm
and warm anticipatiens of the good time
which was in store for them. Their friends,
too. took especial pains to see that their
going away was accompanied by all the
features which usually accompany jolly
farewell "whoop up"
A programme had been arranged for the
morning, which included parade to the
wharf The San Francisco Turner's
gathered in their hall on Turk street,
near Jones. They were dressed in
their picturesque gray suits, with broad
brimmed hats of the same color. A drum
corps was also in attendance to head the
procession At $50 o'clock the men fell
in line with Leaders Albert Furth and
Theodore Planz in the van. From Turk
street the parade, accompanied by many
friends, marched to the hall of the VOr-
waerts Verein on O'Farrell street, near
Mason. They were heartily received by
v,
invited into the main hall, where, after a
brief interchange of courtesies, the men
again fell into line and proceeded
on their way to the water front.
The Vorwaerts in their gayest at
tire followed the San Franciscos,
and with drums beating merrily the
Turner's headed for Market street. AS the
parade passed the Office of the CALL three
hearty cheers were given. The march was
taken along Kearny street to California,
and down that thoroughfare to Market
