Committees at Work


a mosr inter ,sting event to occur in Los
Angeles from June 22d to 26th inclusive.
the Pacific Kreisturnfest, or gymnastic
tournament of the Turner's of the Pacific
coast
The tournament will be given under the
supervision of the Turnverein Germania
of Los Angeles, and the society will make
it one of the most memorable events in
the history Of the North American Turner
bund, or Gymnastic union.
The first tournament since the division
of the Turner bund into krese or circles,
was held in Oakland in 1890, and this will
be the second. In 1884, eleven years ago,
the Pacific Coast Turner's had an enjoya-
BILE meeting at Los Angeles, and upon the
occasion OF the second assemblage the
visitors will be extended a royal welcome.
Turnvcrein Germania has grown during
the eleven years past at lapid rate, and
is now one OF the most vigorous organiZa-
tions in the entire bund. 1t will be ena-
bled to show the visitors the difference
between 1884 and 1895.
In order to arrange the numerous de-
tails for the tournament the following Of
ticers and committees have been appoint
ed. They meet once a week, and are
working enthusiastically to make the

The tournament will consist of athletic
sports OF every description at Agricul-
tural Park. of exercises at the Turnverein
hall and swimming competition at Cata-
lima Island. The CONF mpetetion for some of
not members of the turner's, and alto
gether it will be one of the most notable
athletic tournaments ever held on the
coast.
1t is estimated that there will be be-
tween 300 and 400 active competitors from
che ranks of turner's. and from informa-
ton already received it is known that
there will be several thousand visitors in
the city from various localaties in the
Pacific circle, which includes California,
Washington. Oregon and Montana. There
is mem bership of over 5000 in the circle,
and the various Turnvereins composing it
are looking forward to the kreisturnfest
of 1895 with eageIness.
The organization of the turner's is one
of the most interesting in the United
States. and there is something about
their sturdy manhood and their develop
ment OF physical and intellectual strength
that appeals strongly to the American
citizen.
The work OF preparing the programme
for the tournament is already we'll ad-
vanced and the various committees are
performing their duties with an energy
that speaks well for the brilliant success
of the occasion.
There is no doubt that the Kreisturnfest
will attract many visitors to the city who
do not belong to the turner's to witness
the superior and interesting feats OF skill
and strength which will take place. 1t is
expected that there will be fine bicycle
meeting during the tournament, and an
exceptionally interesting rifle contest.
Mr.. Louis Herzog of Turnverein Ger
mania left Friday night tor San Fran
cisco to make arrangements in connec-
tion with the tournament. and will visit
a number of turnvereins before his re-
turn.
Citizens generally are taking an interest
in the event and it is believed that there
will be quite general decorations of busi-
ness houses during the tournament in the
cOlors of the Turnverein.
