Interesting Program.

Now that it has become a settled fact
that the New Ulm Pioneers are again
to be entertained by the Turnverein, it
has induced others to offer helping
hand. In this respect, as usual, the
members of the Second Regiment band
have shown their willingness in assist
ing them in their work. The two or
CARNATIONS will combine and make the
afternoon and evening of August 9th
memorable one to the old settlers of
Brown and Nicollet counties.
AS it becomes more widely known,
there are general inquiries as to the
features of the occasion and who are
to be considered as old settlers. The
suggestion that was followed last year
will not be taken up this time and it is
she wish of the committees that it be
understood that the celebration is open
to everyone, young and old, to attend.
There will, however, be a line drawn
as to who should be considered an old
settler. Inhabitants of Brown and
Nicollet counties that have lived here
during and prior to the year 1868 will
be recognized as old settlers. To these
real pioneers of the counties particular
attention is to be paid. They will be
shown all the cordiality that the affilia-
tions of a junior pioneer may purpose.
A large book will be kept at the
grounds in which the old pioneers are
to register their names so as to be used
for further reference. They are also
to be given souvenir badges, before
they enter the park, which will entitle
them to participate free of charge in
all games, prize contests, etc. From
others the small fee of ten cents will
be asked before entering the park.
The management of the picnic is in
good hands and in good shape and
preparations for entertainment and ac-
commodations will be so complete by
the time set for the convention that
there will be nothing lacking to make
it a success. They are assured of the
crowd. People are all anxious to
come and they are coming, some of
them having to drive from five to
twenty miles to get here. There is but
one hope in the hearts of the members
Of the two organizations, who are in
terested in the coming old settlers
convention to be held in this city, and
that is that the sun might shine upon !
this occasion.
Although the program has not been
officially announced, from suggestions
that have been made and that will be !
introduced, it becomes evident that it |
will be of interest to everyone Ample
provisions will be made to be on hand
with every thing that their desire may
call for.
The chorus Of fifty voices under the
excellent dictatorship of A. J. Alvin
have been diligent at work the past
week and the progress that they are
making is wonderful. Selections by
this chorus will be rendered during
the afternoon and evening both. This
alone may be worth the price of ap-
pearing on the grounds to say nothing
of the field sports and prize contests
that will be introduced. Prof. Herman
Helm will be on hand with we'll drilled
athletes, who will give afteroon and
evening exhibitions in the rear of the
hall.
Among the prize contests there will
be one that will be of interest to old
settlers particularly. In fact it is
meant for them alone. A dancing
