Brown & Son, 20th and Pa. | the managers of the event, and they decided to postpone things awhile in order to give those who were waiting for the clouds to break an opportunity to get to the park. THE TURNERS. Meanwhile the jollity was going on in the grounds, Suddenly a burst of music came through the trees and a line was seen winding down the muddy path to the pavilion. First came the baud and behind it was a string of humanity in knickerbockers and light blue trimmings, shading down froma shim young man six feet two inches tall to a black-headed little fellow searcely three feet above ground. | ‘These were twenty-five pupils of the Turn Verein and they were on their way to give an exhibition of their muscularity. ‘The pavilion was by this time pretty well filled and the dusk had become so great that it was necessary to light the gas jets, which protested vigorously against the onslaught of the winds that caused them to sputter and hiss, THE EXHIBITION. The exhibition was hugely enjoyed by the crowd, the performances of the little fellow at the end of the line winning for him rounds of applause. For three-quarters of an hour they went through their movements in marching, running, ou the parallel bars and over the dumb horses, and when they had completed their maneuvers they marched back to the hall and changed their costumes. By this time it was quite dark. THE PROCESSION FORMED. Presidents Hockeimeyer and Woif put their heads together and decided to proceed with the program. So another procession was formed of the band, the Sengerbund, the Ger- mania Mennerchor, the Turn Verein and the executive committee of the Scheutzen Verein, and the road to the pavilion was tramped over again. Between the band and the rest of the line marched Messrs. Anton Eberly and Chris, Heurich, proud of a heavy burden they carried between them with great care, It was a square package done up in brown paper, sealed on one side with three great splotches of wax. Behind this walked Mr. Paul Schultz. After several turns around the pavilion the proces- sion came to a halt in the center around the square package, in front of which Mr. Schultz stood with his hat off. Everybody else un- covered, A PRESENTATION. Facing Mr. Schultz were the officers of the Schuetzen Verein—Messrs. Wolf and Hocke- meyer in the center. Then Mr. Schultz began his speech in German, presenting to the verein a tablet designed by him commemora- tive of the occasion and expressive of the good will felt by the German-American citizens toward the suciety. The tablet is surmounted by a vignette emblematic of sociability. Be- neath is a pedestal, in the center of which is a lyre; to the one side is the coat-of-arms of the ‘Technique societies surrounded with laurel, and on the other those of the turaer (gym- nastic) societies, ornamented with the rod, de- noting strength. The lyre is decorated with palm, representing peace; also with floral wreath. Tlie inscription is in German text, and the whole is signed by the different Ger- man societies of the District. ‘MR. SCHULTZ’ ADDRESS. Mr. Schultz, in his speech, said: “I consider ita special honor and particular pleasure to tender to you the heartiest and best wishes of the Germans of this city on this occasion. It will not be considered strange that so many of our nationality—and more would be present but for the stormy weather—should today evi- deuce their interest by their presence when we consider how much your «ssociation has contributed to the social life of our city and how much you have furthered every euterprise of a public character. May your association grow and prosper, not only that its members may be together to toe social hours, but to perform acts that will benefit the general wel- fare. “Mr. President, I am directed to tender to you these memoriai resolutions to testify that you have earned our esteem and confidence, and shall be a reminder that the Wash- zen Verein not only has a warm corner in the hearts of its countrymen, but also the entire community of this District. In conclusion I ask one aad all to join me in pro- posing the health, happiness and prosperity of the Washington Scheutzen Verein. Er iebe hoch! This last exhortation was followed by a tumult of Teutonic cheers, waving of hats and shaking of hands. ‘MR, HOCKEMFYER'S REPLY. When the noises had subsided the sentiments of the society were uttered by its president, Mr. Hockemeyer, who spoke in English. He id: ‘On behalf of the Washington Schuetzen Verein I thank you kindiy for this testimonial gift. You have come here today to celebrate with us our twenty-fifth anniversary. You come and tell us that we have done our work well; that we have fulfilled our obligations as laid down by our forefathers. What were these | obligations? A person would naturally sup- pose that all that is necessary todo to belong | to the Schuetzen Vercin is to pay for amember- | ship ticket, to shoot at the target, to roll at ten-pins, to drink lager beer and eat schweitzer cheess Oh, no, my friends; let us look back twenty-five years, At the close of a long and bloody war the streets of Washington were filled with soldi fresh from the field. Day and night the social enjoyment of our citizens was interfered with, and it was dangerous for your sons and daughters to travel the streets, It was then, in the interest of humanity, we | organized the Washington Schnetzen Verein not only to shoot at targets, but to encourage one another in social intercourse—to obtain a park wi they could bring their families and keep watch over them and save them from harm. “Gentlemen, you have filled our hearts with jor in telling us that we have kept all those ob- igations, and 1 can assure you that with re- newed vigor we willkeep om, and [ trust the public of Washington will appreciate our iabor. Again, gentlemen, I thank you.” ADJOURNED TO THE BANQUET HALL. Mr. Wolf followed with a few words in Ger- man reinforcing Mr. Hockemeyer’s thanks aud announcing that the rest of the speeches would be made around the banquet board. The Sen gerbund, under the leadership of Prof. Waidecker, sang a German song, and then the | Hood's Sarsaparill: societies moved back to the hall, where long | of ali other simila: tables were spread in the banquet room. By this time the showers had become a mat- ter of frequent occurrence, and the crowd, which had swelled tou respectable size, did not imind the moisture. ‘THE SCENE INSIDE. Inside the house the scene wasa gay one. The hall had been neatly decorated and the tables, formed in three parallel rows with a cross table at the east end, lent a business-like alr to the place. There were over three hun- dred plates, and every seat was taken. At the east table were the guests who were specially honored. The places here were filled by Messrs, Woit. Hockemeyer, Commissioners Douglass New Sterrixe Cans ro St. Lovrs.— Louis, via Cincinnati, on the Baltimore and Ohio Vestibule Limited, leaving Baltimore daily at 2:30 p.m., Washingtoa 3:30 p.m.,arriv- ing St. Louis next afternoon at 6:45.

Mr. Wolf once more obtained the floor ‘and said that he would be obliged to transpose one of the toasts in order to accommodate the speaker, who had to leave early. He then in- troduced Mr. Anton Eberly, who responded to the toast “The Fatherland He spoke in Ger- man, dwelling upon the dear memories which all German-Americans, however patriotic in _ cause of their adopted country, have for fe land of their ih. He also mentioned the great military strength of Germany, especially as it was developed during the ‘assian war. ‘MR. WOLF'S ADDRESS. Mr. Wolf responded himself to the toast “The day we celebrate.” Not only in unity lies strength, he said, but in temperance and sobriety lies the true conduct of the American citizen, and the Schuetzen Verein was organ- ized to promote these elements, He went back into the history of the society, and showed its development from a local to a national and even an international importance. He ro- minded his hearers that one by one the old landmarks of Washington are disappearing, and he felt that a calamity was about to fall upon the society in the loss of its park. He fearcd that from lack of co-vperation and interest the members might some day read of the sale of the beautiful property to some real estate syndicate, Crzvetaxns Superior Baxrxa Pownen Crzvetaxps Sapeior Baxrsa Powner, Assorvrety Ts Busr, BECAUSE ‘It is pure and wholesome, It is nchest in cream of AFEW tartar, REASONS WHY Itis bighest in leavening CLEVELAND'S Power. “SUPERIOR ‘Food raised with it keeps BAKING POWDER moist and sweet, 1s It is, in the end, more eco- ABSOLUTELY nomical than any other THE BEST.

Gen, Sherman was to have responded to “The German-American asa soldier,” but he had been called away to New York, and Mr. Wolf made his apologies. The general, who, he said, had taken ail his war paint home with him, could not have said more than everybody present knew, that when the German fights he fights all over, and that his blood lies on many an American battlefield, shed for the cause of the Union. THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. “The German-American as a citizen of the District of Columbia,” was the theme given to Commissioner Douglass, He made an_ in- teresting and entertaining response. Com- missioner Hine’s name, uttered by Mr. Wolf, was greeted with tremendous applause. He said that he had consented to come upon the condition that he should have no toast to re- spond to, but he had found a subject in the rophesy of Mr. Wolf about the park. He ‘new that it should fail to come true, for he was sure there was no such thing as failure ahead of the Schentzen Verein, It would be a sacrilege and a disgrace to allow the park to be sold. FROM A NEWSPAPER POINT OF VIEW. Mr. Beriah Wilkins, in speaking on the sub- ject of the German-American from a news- paper standpoint, created a laugh by dropping into a little colloquial German here and there. He asserted that the German-American from this standpoint iaa good citizen, loyal and patriotic, He referred to that German idler of older days, who once whittled out the first ypes, and said that the newspapers revered his memory. oT! SPEECHES, Representatives Neidringhaus and Lehlbach spoke on the subject of the German-American in politics and Mr. Burkhart gave bis views of the German-American in office. Rev. Mr. El- terich made a combination speech in German and English about the German in his domestic relations and then Mr. Wolf apologized for Col, M. M. Parker, who was to have spoken to the toast “he ladies,” Additional speeches were, at the call of the chairman, made by Mr. Paul Schultz and Mr. Theo, W. Noyes.
