The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-11

related, but still there is enough diff
ference to give the judges considerable
trouble in making out their percent
ages.
The different societies were repre-
scented as follows on the apparatus:

The last number of the programme
was the flying rings. Both societies
appeared to the best advantage here.
The Minneapolis team however, show
ed more strength and familiarity with
them than the visitors. In fact, the
exhibition given by the locals was one
that has never been eXcelled in this
city. Three class and one free eXer-
else was given on this apparatus. as
on all the others. Nearly all evolu-
lions imaginable were given IN Il
manner that would have scored high
ly in their favor had not a heavy rain
been falling. At the same time
that it must be said that the
exhibition given by the visitors
was of a high order, the judges
had to admit that their exercises were
not in the same class with those chos-
were the combinations as happily eff
fected as they might have been. The
parallel bars were the first apparatus
used at the afternoons programme.
1t was the first exhibition of the day,
and cinched the first Srize for the
Minneapolis Turner's. We eVolutions
that were gone through proved a rev.
citation to such as might not be &C
quainted with this particular appara-
tus. The eight Turner's all received
very high marks. The turning of the
Chicago society on the parallel bars
lacked spirit. They had evidently not
been drilled according to the strict
methods adopted by Hagbarth Her
manson. instructor of the Minneapolis
society, and they lost many points,
where carefulness would have had the
close of the different exercises end in
better positions. There was a lack
of rigidity throughout.
The horizontal bars was one of the
best parts of the programme for the
visitors. Although laXity in training
had its results here also, the men
showed that they had taken more in
terest in cOnquering different feats
on this apparatus than any Of the 9TH
ers. Both Fridtjof Anderson and John
Johnson gave the giant swing in as
acceptable a manner as could be
wished for, and certainly helped to
class exercises chosen were too difficult
for several members of the class, 81
that the class percentage will not be
as large as that of the Minneapolis
class.
Pyramids is an exhibition in which
the Norwegians excel, not even TAX
ing a back seat from the valiant Arab.
Both societies presented different and
marvellous compilations of human
forms. The visitors ended as the ia
vorites, the local society having failed
in its last pyramid, and was unable
to rebuild it, after taking the second
trial. The pyramids built by the Chi
cago boys were of the quick, agile or
der, with hardly a mistake or misstep.
The turning was followed by field
exercises, and which resulted as fol-
lows:

apolis, second; Sigurd johnson, Chicago,
third.
