Never before has New Ulm experienced
such a wave of excitement as it did on
Saturday and Sunday-the occasion of
the dedication of the monument to Her
mann.
The weather was exceptionally ine;s il
couldn't have been better. In conse-
quence decorations were increased and
throughout the two days the main street
was one mass of flags, bunting, streamers
and wreaths. ..
And such a crowd! EARLY Saturday
morning the citizens of the surrounding
country began to pour into town and by
ten o'clock the streets were dense with
vehicles aud moving humanity. To say
that there were ten thousand people
within the city's gates is not oxaggerat-
ing it in the least.
At ten O'Clock the first excursion train
arrived over the Northwestern road from
Waseca. It consisted of ten crowded
coaches, the majority of the passengers
hailing from Mankato aud St. Peter.
The lodges from each of these towns
were accompanied by fine bands and a
crowd that aggregated 400 people. All
hour later another excursion came in
over the same road from St. Paul, car
rying between two and three hundred
guests. At 1880 ten coach special,
with five hundred people, pulled in over
the St. Louis road. Most of these came
from st. Paul, the lodges of that city
having engaged the Hermann Sons band
for the occasion.
Governor Clough and staff arrived on
this train and were properly received at
the depot by Company A, Burg's Bat
terry, the local lodges and the Great
Western Band. A great multitude of
citizens swarmed about the platform
and Burg's Battery fired the governors
salute of thirteen guns. In the COVER
nor's party were Gen. Nuremberg, Coils.
Mccoy, Conley, Hartley, BarroWs, Seng,
Taylor, Campbell and Pusch and Mai
Eor Campbell. They were all in full dress
nniform and presented splendid ap.
Ipearahce with all their glittering show
Of braid and epauletts. They were at
once taken in carriages to Turner Hall,
where an hour afterwards the parade
was formed.
At about eleven o'clock another train
of ten coaches steamed in bringing the
balance of Fridays Twin City delega-
ton.
The big parade came off at noon. /.
And such paradel New Ulm has new
er seen an thing to compare with it and
few, if any, of the large cities nave ever
got up anything to equal it. Over q
/ Thousand people participated and lthou-
sands upon thousands lined the streets
to witness it. For nearly two miles ii
strung out, and while it was mt rich ii
ssplendor, it was unique and unusual.
! e took New Ulm to get it up.
At the headof the parade rode Colo
mel Bobleter, with Il. Budy Of st. Paul
and Capt. Steinhauser Of New Tim az
aides. Three divisions followed, mar
