Yesterday morning they came, arriving by special train on the Chicago road, and * reaching here at 11 a. m. They were met at the depot by the West and South Side Tnrners Societies, with bands, and the whole party marched through town, bands playing and bannors streaming.THE TEENERSwere dressed in their brown linen suits, which were cool enough. From the depot a throng followed that blocked up the walks. A large number of citizens came up from Chicago, and all seemed bent on having a good time.TO THE PARK.Parading through the streets the Turners escorted their guests to Quentin's Park, and all of yesterday entertainment was the order. Songs were sung; bands played; speeches of reception and thanks were made; toasts were drunk, and lager beer flowed some. “Salamander” after “nola-mander” was drank, until this wub too slow work and then lager was drank without any * ‘salamander1' at all. There 'was littlelikeINTOXICATIONat the Park, which fact would puzzle the manB in New York who still insists thatthere is “drunk” in lager. What there was in the staggering line was outside of the Turners and their friends, and would satisfy most any one that a Yankee, oran Irishman, or an Englishman, or a TVelshman, or any other man, has no business whatever to enter into a lager beer match with a Turner, especially if that Turner has been educated in Chicago.THE ATTENDANCE %at the Park during the afternoon of yesterday was to speak within bounds, immense. All the German portion of the city, nR well as a considerable American and Irish part were tliero to see and listen.A JIATN SQUALL.At one time during the afternoon, aheavy storm came up. The only place for shelter was the Ringle building on the summit of the* hill. As the large rain drops began to patter down tlio crowd—men, women and children broke for this single roof. Men jostled and crowded the women and they in turn jostled and crowded the children. It was one huge, grand, indie-cribablo “rush,” ludicrous as it was laughable. Trains and hoops Buffered—dresses suffered—everything suffered. The building was packed full. The inmates dovetailed in like sardines, but not one tenth of them could obtain shelter. This tenth was happy — nine-tenths outside in the rain were unhappy. The wet taken in in the shape of lager did not counteract the wet coming down in the shape of water. The outsiders looked ut the contented insiders, grumbled loud and deep and then pushed on towards the building as if such “6quozen” mass could be compressed any closer. It was as solid there as a mass of iron, and as unyielding ab a bar of lead. Then the insiders, their “store clothes protected from the rain if not from the “jam,” laughed aloud and jested and taunted the perplexity and anxiety of the outsiders. And all ihe time the great rain drops came down from above—pattered on the trees about, and made the outsiderscling closer to each other and try the harder to get into the building. Fortunately he rain was only the surplus discharge of a single cloud—it was no set affair, and in few moments the sun shone out brightly again—the great rain drops “dried up,” and all was merry again. The crowd about Sie building spread out to dry, and the crowd inside wended their way out. Then there was a time, getting things into shape again. The rush was a lesson or foretaste of what was to come when the garden emptied itself and everybody sought to get back to town by the very first car. srxiPTOiis or a now.About 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon there were strong symptoms of n disturbance at the Park. Accompanying the Chicago Turners were a few hard cases who will always force their way into company where they are not wanted, and a few of the same sort from this city, filled up with beer. They looked fight and they begun seriously to talk fight, when three were arrested. Two were from Chicago, and one from this city. They were locked up to cool their tempers.

All seem to be well pleased at their treatment here, and say they will come again. •THOSE OX BOHNS.Attached to each party or society^ of Tnmer6 ope jnight notice a number of men earning immense ox homo.. Those horns have a prominent plape in the history of tho Turners, and it is a great privilege to be allowed to drink out of them. Horns never circulate until the party has drank lager enough to feci “well/*A great many 3*ear6 ago, before Turners were known, in one of the small German states, a party of young jnen organised as gymnasts. One day they went out on a target excutsipn. The purveyor had pro-vided keg after keg of the foaming lager,but by a strange oversight had neglected to furnish seidlcK. Thero was not ft glass or cup to be found. Tho young men were not to be beaten in this way, however, andknocking the bottoms out of their home they used them as glasses. A lady of rank noticing the strange drinking cups, remarked to her liege.“How easily those young men turn up the bottoms of tholr horns.”“Good,” exclaimed one of the party,‘‘Turners they shall be, nnd the ox hornshall bo their good goniuB.”From that day tjio organization was known as Turners, and spreading all over tho world nn they have, they hove carried the namo with them and have reverenced tho ox horn, using nnd drinking out of it only on gala occasions.Ccon a 1ft fror pro ed i Hei ty c C dati laidmufnotcur.0wheandgotJob;Smimuckno-took500Timer mor sees app« Cha: ftuti-in d; thrcN-thnt stab Sum to scWjdietr of w havo recei powc Plapriueit ia s full I of tl:Maimpo tho j' CrFLE8.fectilt; amoc made It is ] otbei great drug,Tn in th
