Volksfest at San Pedro springs ends in farce and crowd dissatisfy
The San Pedro Volksfest opened with speeches by Madarasz Ogden Shields and Seele then a weak horse race and a parade of militia. Charges for food drinks and tickets were high as 3,000 spectators left disappointed by scant racing and heavy emphasis on displays over sport. Police made four arrests for drunkenness while bands entertained and outfits from San Antonio and Weimar joined the event.
