Charlaa Armbruster Association
Holds Its Picnic In Sch Park .

Anyone strolling down through Green
Vile yesterday afternoon and evening
was under the impression that it was a
holiday, for the streets were completely
deserted and the houses and buildings
throughout that whole section were be-
decked with flags and bunting. The
fourth annual picnic of the Charles Arm
bruster Association. whose standard
bearer is better known as Happy
Days" Charlie, took place at
Greenville Schuetzen Park, and it is
doubtful II a larger picnic ever took place
In this city.
The festivities began with a big parade
In he afternoon in which over two hun
dred members Of the association were In
line. They formed at the Boulevard and
Stevens avenue, and under the leadership
OF Marshal Charles Gerhardt marched
down the Boulevard to the park. After
dinner was served the bowling and games
began and were in progress up till six
o'clock. In the evening about eight
O'Clock the bicycle parade about three
hundred strong, composed of the follow
ing clubs, Clos. Mantle, Hamilton, Ar
canum, Business Mems and Aetna Cycle
Clubs. marched into the park headed by
Siefert's band. The Printers and Book
binders Pleasure Club, Court Greenville
Foresters, Greenville Liederkrantz, the
Greenville Republican Club n the
Minkakwa Club followed in the order
named. They marched around the park
several times and finally came to a halt
on the dancing platform.
After a whole lot of hand shaking and
which over two hundred couples partica-
pated lead by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
A~rmbruster, took place. The march
ing was fine n ELECTED tre-
1t was almost impossible to dance,
for both platforms were packed. 1t is
estimated that over five thousand people
were present. The Unity Drum and Fife
Corps. the Columbia Fife and Drum Corps
and the Court Greenvilie Drum and Fife
Corps, were scattered among the trees,
and furnished excellent music for the
merry crowds. Professors Beggs' and
Vogler's Orchestras furnished the dance
music. The dancing platforms were
beautifully decorated with flags and bunt-
park was also decorated with large
American flags. After the march Pro-
fessor Adolph Merkt. displayed a series of
stereopticon views on a large canvas
erected near the pavilion, while Seifert's
band played patriotic airs.
