liken The Wellington men thoroughly
understood this and declined TO enter the

SUCCESS OF Sacramentan's Efforts to
Bring 1t to This COast.

Editor Albert Curtin, saws the San
Francisco Post" is a good Californian.
Mr. Currlin is proprietor of two Ger
man newspapers-the" California" pub
lished In San Jose, and the California
Herold, published in Sacramento.
He IS also a prominent Turner and a
clever man. This year Mr.. Curtin was
a delegate to the North American Tur-
ner-bund, now in session at Louisville,
Kentucky.
Through the efforts. of the editor the
next National Turner -Bund, which will
convene In 1898. will be in San Fran
cisco.
Inc Importance of this Bund will be
understood from the fact that eighty
seven societies, aggregating a mem
bership Of $4,000 people, are represented
in it.
Several hundred delegates will come
to the Bund here, and they will doubt
less be accompanied by a large number
OF unofficial delegates, such as wives,
children and friends.
The San Francisco Turn -Verein is I'm
quite f1utter of excitement over the
teiegraphic announcement that the
great meeting will be held here, and will
soon begin preparations for the event.
Though Editor Curtin is the repre-
sentative Of the Pacific District of We
reins. it is the hope Of the San Francisco
Vere1n that, as the largest and Oldest
organization on the coast, they will
nave the privilege of managing the en-
tertainment
Music will, of course. be large factor

ruses will begin to organize and drill

TO 2OO miles, and a single rate for from
2OO to 800 miles No excursion trains
will be run, but there will be ample
accommodations for all who wish to
come here
President Lawton of the committee
reported that after thorough examina-
ton of the reports made by the several
subcommittee, and the personal inter-
views which he has had with the citi-
zens or sacramento, he can safely say
that 1t will be the best military and
CIVIC society parade that Sacramento
mas seen for many years, and that
large number of the business houses
are making extensive preparations to
participate in the parade
More money bas also been appropriat-
ed for fireworks this year than ever be-
fore, and the committee are getting
twice as much for their money as ever
before. The same company that fur
nshed the fireworks for the Columbian
exposition at Chicago has contracted
10 supply these, and the programme in
ciuoes everything on their list, so it is
SAFE to say that Sacramento will see
such a display of fireworks as has never
been seen here on that night.
The meeting then adjourned till next
Monday night at o'clock.
