New Ulm review., 1901-06-26
A GREAT SUCCESS
The State Funniest on Saturday and Sun
day In this city Draws an I'M
nense Crowd.
SOME SPLENDID WORK IN TURNING.
The Great Turner Hall is the Center of
Attraction and Admiration to
Thousands.

tue ceHIeF ol INTEREST 10 50 many people
not only to New Ulm but to other cities
Eof the state, is over and more success
full gathering of the Turner's has never
been held. The local society had its in
genuity taxed TO its utmost to provide
for the unexpected numbers which came,
| but there Was no hitch Or disagreeable
circumstance to mar the entire days
work. Visitors and classes began to ar
rive as early as Friday evening, but the
crowds of excursionists came in on Sun
day so that by noon there was without
doubt five thousand strangers in town.
| You could find them everywhere-in the
park, at Turner Hall and at the ball
game-everybody having good time.
The Turner's of course were mostly in
terested in the competitive gymnastics
| at the hall. Some excellent work was
done, both by the men and women, and
Capt. Albert Steinhauser delivered a
splendid address, full of sentiments of
the Turner society and patriotism and
loyalty.
He told the mission and aims of the
organization, what it had accomplished
and what its future aims were. 1t was
unfortunate that the wind and other dis
lturbances made it impossible for more
than hundred persons to hear his
words. Col. Pfaender also was called
upon to speak and delivered an address
in German.
On Saturday night the play s.In The
White Horse Tavern was produced by
members of the Turnverein, in which
some thirty-tive characters were intro
duced. The play, from beginning to end,
was full of interest and the lines deliv-
cred by each one had the effect and APP
pearance of old actors. Those who took
part were complimented by one of the
largest audiences that has greeted play
in this city. and those who know say the
play is worthy of repitition. New Ulm
has some splendid talent in this line.
| After dinner the different classes re-
presented formed into parade and
marched out on Minnesota street and
back on Broadway making very credit
able showing. There were six bands in
line and innumerable people.
Sunday night the program closed with
a grand bali lasting until the late morn
lng hours. 1t was very pleasant party
and thoroughly enjoyed by the large
number present. There were large
number of people there from outside
side but a large number were prevented
from being there on account of the early
leaving of the trains. Dancing was IN
/ progress also at Union hall, Schmucker's s
and at Herrian's bowery, besides there
were many other places of amusements
that drew large crowds until late hour.
1 Il
| Hotels and restaurants were taxed to
their limit to supply the hungry at meal
times and every refreshment stand did a
good business. The whole thing from
start to flush was a success of which the
! management may well feel proud.
The music furnished by the Second
Regiment band was superior to that of
any other, though the Owatonna band
was not far behind them and they all
did we'll and were generous in their
playing.
The 23rd ANIMAL Gymnatic Tourna-
ment closed successfully and every boy
went home satisfied that they had been
well treated and had enjoyed good
time.
