Considering that every town within a
radius Of nearly fifty miles had cele-
brahon last Thursday, New Ulm did re-
maTESably we'll in securing the large gath
ering that came here to participate in
| the festivities of that day. Rain fell in
torrents OH the right previous causing a
heavy landslide on the NJ. s. st. L. road
about two miles out of the city SO that
the trains coming from the north were
delayed and people from that direction
returned to their homes.
New Ulm is fortunate in having the
| material for fine parades in the shape of
societies, the Second Regiment band and
"A' company of the National guard
| The order of the parade was as follows:
First division: Col Jos. Bobeter,
chief marshal; the 2d regiment band,
Go. "a" I'd regiment, Capt. Frk. Burg's
battery, float Columbia, the States of
the Union, the orators Of the day, mayor,
clerk and city council in carriages, and
the New Ulm fire department.
The second division, under marshal
And. j. Eckstein, was composed of the
Concordia band, the ST. Joseph's Verein
of New Ulm, the St. Joseph's Verein OF
st, George, a float, The>Three Graces,
Faith, Hope and Charity by St. Johns
Court, No. 69S, G. O. F., of New Ulm,
tmembers of St. Johns Court of New
Ulm, St. Benedict Court of St. George.
The third division was commanded by
Capt. l.. G. Vogel as marshal, led by
Gruenfelder's Cadet band, and followed
by Hecker Post G. "A. r., a float, LI,er-
tty Bell, Progress Lodge A. o. Q. W., a

the Lindmeyer band, New Ulm lodge O.
d. H. s.. and the Arbeiter Yerein.
The last division, with Ben. Stock
man as marshal, comprised the follow
ing: Milford Cornet band, and floats of
the Aug. Schell brewery, Eug. A. Pfeff-
erie with large bathing tub aud half a
dozen boys bathing in il, with the an.
nouncement, you'll be in the swim if
you buy at Pfefferle's drug store,n the
Hauenstein Brewing Co., Forster Bros.
with ..sleeping Beauty woman
lying on one of their elegant couches
which was very handsome; Chas. Fled
Ter, the Broadway grocer; L. j. Buenger,
with representation of Niaara Falls,
drawn by 6 black horses. which made an
impressive float, Henry Frenzel of the
pop factory, a Prosperous Farmer, byJ.
NJ. Hauorlch of Milford, the New Ulm
Supply Co., and tue New Ulm Turnver-.
elm.
The judges of merit of the exhibits
were men from out of town, so that no
claim of discrimination can attach to the
decisions. But the general opinion seems
to have been that Eug. Pfefferle's float
was most original though the work on it
was not so extensive as Mr. Buengei' s,
and should have been given place
among the prizes. The awards went to
L. j. Buenger, the Hauenstein Brewing
Go. and FL. Frenzel, all meritorious ex-
hiblts. A much lalger line of floats was
expected but the rain on the night pre-
vious spoiled a number and time was
too short to re.arrange them. It was a
fine spectacle and the marching of Co.
"a attracted most attention. Uniforms
and rifles catch the eyas of the crowd.
A large audience formed about the
speakers stand, but the wind and noise
of the trees prevented most of them from
hearing the speakers, Hon. Julius A. I
Collier of Shakopee, a young man and a
speaker of remarkable force and power.
His entire address was logical, fair aud
Impressive, as also was the address of
iseV. q 3. sandmeyer who spoke in
German.
Music was furnished for the occasion
by the Second Regiment band and it
was thoroughly enjoyed by all. This
band certainly IS composed of musicians
and attracts attention wherever it ap-
pears.
The afternoon was given up to pic
by most Of the crowd who
found great deal of amusement at the
Catholic park where games and various
other attractions were in progress. This
branch of the celebration paid more
money to its originators than any other,
swelling the fund for the parsonage sew
eral hundred dollars.
