New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-07-06

The two days festival, including the
great gymnastic tournament and cele.
bration of the Fourth proved to be a
success. There isn't city in the state
of Minnesota that can arrange for
public celebrations and entertain visi-
tors in such royal manner as New
Ulm has now done. The parade on
Monday forenoon was one of the
best ever held in this City and was
we'll worth seeing. The celebration
not only met all expectations but in
many respects surpassed the keenest
antisipations. Early Saturday after
noon and evening numbers of visitors
came to our town, the bulk of the vi
sitors, however, came Saturday night
from the twin cities over the M. &
St. L. road. This train was over
three hours late and this fact proved
to be a sore disappointment to the
various committees and many citizens
who had made arrangements to meet
the visitors at the depot and escort
them to Turner Hall. Through the
inability of this road to bring the
passengers in on time, or at least on
near schedule time the we'll arranged
plans of the entertainment committee
for Saturday evening were annulled
and thus considerable disappointment
prevailed and remarks not very COM
plimentary to the road could be heard
on all sides.
On Sunday morning the societies
TO the Minnesota Turnbezirk entered
on the grand gymnastic tournament.
The competitive exercises were contin-
ued during the afternoon of the same
day and the afternoon of Monday.
The exercises were carried out with
great enthusiasm and promptness on
the part of the participants. The gym
nastic doings were witnessed by many
thousand people who carried away a
most favorable impression of the
systematic gymnastic exercises, as
taught by the German Societies. Below
will be found list o. those who we're
awarded prizes.
German Theatre.
A packed house the largest audience
that was ever assembled in the Turner
Theatre greeted the Dramatic Section
Of the New Ulm Turnverein Sunday
evening, when they presented that side
splitting four act farce ''Ein toller
Einfall." From the moment the cur
tain rose for the first act and until it
" as rung down at the end of the fourth
act there was something doing all the
time to keep the audience in good hu-
NOR and in an uproar of laughter. The
play was admirably staged and the
% arts we'll placed and as result the
audience was treated to Well-rounded
performance. DR.. Malchow, Mime
apolis remarked that he got more
thorough enjoyment out Of this play
than out of most of the attractions at
the Metropolitan Opera House. And
that seemed to be the UNIVERSAL senti-
ment. When we consider that the main
parts were in the hands of such we'll
known and accomplished actors as
Mrs. FrancesiBellm, Mrs L. G. Bell.
Mrs. N. G.. Alvin, Robert Scherer, A.
J. Alvin, W. E. Koch, Fred Setter
and Albert Steinhauser, it is not to be
wo ndered at at all that the play was
such decided success. The other
p PARTS were in the hands of Mrs. Z. B.
Krook Miss Gretchen Behnke, Miss
Hilda Peuser, E. j. Buehrer, Peter
Scherer and Max Pfaender who played
their parts so we'll that it is to be
hoped that they will play again in
the gar future.
The Parade.
Monday being the national holiday,
vas largely devoted to patriotic
,xerci ses which were held in Turner
Park. Previous to the program the
grand parade was held through the
streets OF the city, the likes OF which
