Sunday was gala day fol the Ger.
mans in Glenwood, and the German
Order of Harugari installed lodge
here with membership roll of forty
two.
At 8 O'Clock the Juvenile band
headed a reception committee, con
sisting OF twenty eight local Germans,
that marched to the Midland depot and
welcomed a delegation of seventy five
Harugaris from Denver and Leadville.
1t was near 10 o'clock when the
visitors reached the hall, so sumptu-
GUS luncheon was served before the
installation ceremonies were com
menced.
After an enjoyable hour spent at
the table Henry Hoecks, gross barde
of Colorado, took up the work of
initiating the Glenwood applicants
into the mysteries of Harugari and
it was 3 O clock before the work was
completed,
The following is list of the officers
elected to manage the affairs of the
local order:
Charles Beck, ex barde; Joseph
Benedeck, obre barde; Henrick Yer
dick, unterbarde; John Sothman, sec
rotary; j. Wulfsohn, richnungs fuerer;

horst, R. q. G.. OBJ; George Sievers,
fuerer; Herman Verdick, aufseher
Emil Ringhofer, innere wache; Adolf

Ratjen, L. H. G., U B.; John Wen

At the completion of the installation
ceremonies the hall was vacated and
everyone wendell their way to the
Hotel Colorado lawn. Arriving here
the boys were entertained by the
saenger verein from Leadville under
the leadership of Prof. Volker. Some
select German songs were sung by
different members and it was nearly
8 clock before the fun subsidized.
At $50 the visitors train departed
but they were having snch a "heigh
old time" that over twenty of them
remained over till Monday noon when
they left for Leadville.
After the train departed the local
lodge with their twenty guests went
back to the hall where an excellent
dinner had been prepared for them
and to say this was an enjoyable
feature of the program is expressing
it mildly. After dinner was served
the music was started and everybody
was welcome to come in and join the
dancers. Between numbers German
songs were sung and instrumental
pieces given and it was late hour
departed for their respective homes.
Monday morning the visitors were
given a ride over Glenwood and were
highly pleased with the appearance of
our beautiful city. AT the conclusion
of the ride Charley Beck requested
the visitors to sing few German
songs and they responded quickly with
a selection appropriate to their de-
parture from Glenwood.
The Post is especially requested by
the officers IN behalf of the lodge to
thank Mayor Schwarz, the city coun-
Gil and the police officers for throwing
open the town to the Germans Sunday
and for their kindness in doing all
they could to further the successful re-
certion and entertainment of the
visiting Harugaris. The local men,
bers are very much pleased indeed by
the kind action of the people and the
city in their behalf and their good
hearts are full to overlooking with
gratitude toward all.
Here's to the long life, happiness
and prosperous advancement of every
member of the German Order der
Harugari.
Time may alter and years depart
And old friends grow more dear;
May deeper gladness fill your hearts
