New Ulm review., 1901-03-13
A Brilliant Social Event
Participated in by the
Wealth and Beauty
of the City.

The wealth and beauty of the city
were there.
The annual balls given by Sioux Lodge
No. 1O1, Knights of Pythias, have al
ways been rated as the most brilliant
social functions of the year and the
Monday evening event most fully sus-
tanned the reputation gained in former
years.
Tho beautiful new Turner Hall. was
profusely decorated, the stars and stripes
mingled with the red, blue and yellow,
the emblematic colOrs of the order, had
prominent place in the display, while
on the stage, in full view of the entire
gathering, was placed mammoth fac
smile of the badge or emblem of the
lodge bearing the mystic lettering F. G.
B.
The arrangement of the new Turner
Hall is most happy one in that while
the main floor of the auditorium IS
cleared for dancing there remains the
dress circle and the balcony co.nfortab-
ly seated for the convenience of specta-
tors, and in the present instance the
seating capacity, reachicg several hund-
red, was fully occupied.
The Review has yet to learn the exact
number of tickets disposed of, which IN
fact is the only means of determining
the true number present, but the grand
polanaise at the opening of the ball was
participated in by nearly so couple
while as before stated the dress circle
and balcony contained scores of inter
ested spectators.
Music was furnished for the occasion
by the popular Turner orchestra and the
Fronting was done by F. W. Fritsche in
his customary happy and satisfactory
manner. Supper was served in the
spacious dining rooms connected with
the hall and wBs most satisfactory and
bounteous spread.
