In the evening Jolly gathering in the
theatre Of the Turner Hall tripped the
light fantastic till a late hour. The
floor was crowded to capacity and then
some. Every one was there for q
rollicking good time and forgave crushed
feet and hard bumps in the packed hall.
Monday occurred the big parade thru
the city. Seldom has New Ulm wit
messed prettier sight than this parade.
The visiting and the local Turner's COM
bined with New Ulm's military and civil
organizations made a pagenat mile in
length. Leading the procession was, Of
course, the. Second Regiment band
followed by the Company "A" boys.
A few grizzled veterans represented the
thinning ranks Of the G.. A. r. Then
came the ranks of the sturdy little girls
of the children's class of the local Turn
verein. Then came the more mature
classes in neat fitting uniforms. The
st. Paul Turnverein came next and
didn't hesitate to tell everyone that they
were from the Capitol city and that they
liked New Ulm. The St. Anthony Turn
verein came next and were an equally
jolly crowd. The trim uniforms of both
men and woman with the dash of red
to relieve the blue and gray made a
pretty showing as they swung up the
street in perfect order. Burg's Battery
followed the long lines of the Turner's
and the New Ulm fire department in
fine blue uniforms brought up the rear.
After marching the length of Mime
sofa Street the parade returned to
Turner park where a program Of speeches
was held. Fred w. johnson was first
introduced and delivered stirring
appeal for peace and poise in the present
conflict of the nations. He pointed out
forcibly the fallacy of seeking peace
thru preparedness for war. Mr.. John
son is strong speaker and held his
audience closely with his apt illustrations
and pleasing manner. He was fire.
quently interrupted by applause and
when he closed his address was greeted
with continued cheers and shouts of
approval. Attorney Albert Pfaender
then addressed the big crowd in German
and was as well received as his pre-
decessor. He pointed out the salient
features of the territorial and political
growth of the nation from its birth to
the present time as it stands today the
foremost nation of the world. The
speech was a scholarly review of our
national history.
In the afternoon another big open air
meeting was staged at which the mass
exercises of the previous afternoon were
again given along with few variations.
With more space to exercise than the
narrow confines of the stage affords, the
drills were even prettier and better
executed than the day before. After
these drills and the relay races, the
victors. were awarded their diplomas
and laurels. Below is a summary of
events and the winners:
Rank of societies by total score: LIST,
St. Anthony; I'd, st. Paul; Sd, New Ulm.
Individual prizes for apparatus and
field work: 1st, Max Mohr, St. Paul;
I'd, William Fritsche, New Ulm; Sd,
John VERIFY, St. Paul.
Thus ended the big funniest and at
eight fifteen the special train left over
the M. & St. L. bearing with it one of the
jolliest and cleanest crowds that ever
visited New Ulm. The city will long
remember the Turner'S of St. Paul and
Minneapolis and will always be glad to
welcome them here. And it is to be
hoped that these clean-cut young ath-
letes will be as glad to come.
