New Ulm had been beautifully
decorated fer this affair with flags,
bunting, electric lights and other
decorations appropriate for the occa-
sion. Special window displays have
been put on by merchants and one
that is especially worthy Of mention
is the window in Crone Bros. store, in
which miniature buildings had been put
up to represent Fort Ridgely in 1862, the
powder house below the hill, miniature
soldiers stationed without the fort on
guard duty, an Indian camp in the
distance and canvass covered wagon
loaded with supplies just driving over the
bridge to the fort. Many other displays
are also worthy Of special mention.

7:30 with an automobile parade for
which cash prizes, ranging from $50 to
SIS was offered for the best decorated cars.
The car decorations we're beautiful, to
say the least, and all received loud APP
plause from the spectators lined up on
beth sides of the street. One car was
decorated to represent moving shock
of corn from which issued sounds If
cackling hens, the growing Of roosters
and quacking Of ducks and geese. Another
car, named the Trouble Shooter, was
fitted up to represent a huge tank from
which fireworks were shot off. After the
parade, Hofmeister's famous band Of
that city entertained the throng with d.
