full wind and sand storm set in early in
the forenoon and continued necessarily
until evening. But there was one thing
that helped us out the presence of a
great number of uniformed visitors from
st. Paul. No one had any idea as to
who would compose tho party, and it is
a matter of regret that the reception ac-
corded them could not have been in
keeping with the dignity of our guests.
The committee in charge had never been
advised of such large and unexpected
visitation, and should it ever occur again
our St. Paul friends may rest assured that
they will be met with open arms. New
Ulm's hospitality IS what it always was,
but surprise parties may afford some ex-
cuse for failure to keep it up to its u.s.
level.
The St. Paul special arrived at 2 o.
clock and was met by the Great West
ern Band and number of citizens. It
was indeed a distinguished contingent,
| and on the train we're decorations an
banners, bearing the inscription: St. Pau.
Carnival Directors, bound for New Ulm.
The visitors were all dressed in uniform,
the directors in white with baby blue
trimmings, the Bostons in red and black,
the Lafayettes in grey and blue, the
Wholesalers in red and black, the Town
audCountry Club in blue black with lamb
wool trimming, the Minnehahas in red
and white, the Columbias and o. E. Sci
ter in the St. Georges uniform of 1885.
At the head of them was STEMS military
band with Feise as drum major.
Theparty Immediately repaired toTur-
ner Hall where lunch was served, after
| which, Schiffman introduced the speakers
Finch, Lindeke, Koerner and Benz.
Benz also read the following greeting
from Rex Flandreau of the St. Panl Car
nival.
Learning from our Minister of Pleas
ure that YOU were enjoying a season of
carnival festivities in beautiful palace
of ice, we had FULLY determined to part
icipate in the joys of the OCCASION; but
being informed by the Chief Constable
of our Royal Palace OF the Pole that
Norwegian of inquisitive propensities,
by the name of Nansen, had recently tres
passed upon the hitherto sacred precincts
of our domains, and was about to unfold
to the world the secrets of our royal re-
tlrement, we felt it to be our duty to at
once depart for the north and endeavor
to intercept this impertinent intruder,
and deal with him in a manner commen-
surate with his offense, This unexpected
event will prevent our presence in person
| at your entertainment, bnt we send as
representatives of our royal person a
| delegation of choice spirits from our
| City of St. Paul, who are endowed with
carnival capacities equal to your re-
now, ned hospitalities, We have explained
| fully to them the vast social resources
of your people, which we have enjoyed
on SO many occasions, and our great re-
gret is that we will be unable to part
icipate in the present merrymaking.
After the return of our representatives
from your city, should your people ex-
perience famine in the necessities of
life, draw on our royal breweries and we
will cheerfully supply the deficiency.
:'Moegen Sic allie gluecklich Sc in, das
list mein Wunch." ....
Chas. L. Roos then responded on be-
half of the people of New Ulm.
1t had been intended to have the pa
rade at three O'Clock, but so unfav6rable
was the weather that the directors held
off until five, when few of the floats
managed to get out and pass through
small portion of the city. Most Of them
were the same or nearly so, as appeared
in the parade of the 4th, but there were
a number of new ones, including John
Hauenstein's, w. G.. Alwin's and Fl. Man
derfeld's. Many of the best ones were
detained from participating on account
of the wind.
After the procession Ice King Luck,
niger delivered himself ofh1s royal proc
lamation at Turner Hall.
In the evening the st. Paul clubs unit
ed with the New Ulmites in the torch
light procession and storming of the pal
ace by. Fire King Fischer. The latter
was magnificent sight and was greatly
admired by all onlookers. An unexpect-
ed explosion Of fireworks within the pal
ace only added to the beautiful effects.
Following this were the masquerade
balls, the one at Turner Hall being the
