Volksfest Day Two Opens With Military Drills And Races In San Antonio
The second Volksfest day featured a US Army drill on the race track and a competitive prize drill with the Prairie City Guards from Weimar and the Belknap Rifles drawing praise. The Belknaps won the team prize, while Sergeant William Herff claimed the individual medal. Racing events included 100 yard and 220 yard sprints, horse races, and a tub race won by Mortensen, with Banks and Degener delivering notable spills. A pig hunt and a soldiers race drew big crowds, and Luling club controversy over a baseball game with Caldwell County remained unresolved at press time.

Startling Discrepancy in City Water Rates Exposed
A city report contrasts municipal water terms with private charges. At $1 per month for a family, 2000 gallons are assumed. If private users paid the city rate from 1884, many would face about $90 monthly. Hydrant rents and exemptions yield a complex total, with fire-use figures and planned hydrant additions for 1885. The piece urges taxpayers to study the inequity, calling it an unprecedented imposition.
