When the procession arrived on
the 'fest-ground, HrfhT J. F. Wol-
ters in a short and appropriate ad-
dress introduced the May-Queen,
Miss Ida Schaefer, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Sigmond Schaefer. who,
in a brief speech, returned thanks
for the honor conferred.
By this time dinner was an-
nounced for the visiting bands and
Capt. Wittich's military company,
who were guests of the Mai-fest.
At 2 o'clock the band contest
took place, which was entered by
the Shiner band, the Appelts Hill
band, the Schindler band, of Se-
dan, and the Lone Star band of
Freyburg. The judges were: A. F.
Rose, of Weimar, G. Foitek, of
San Antonio and Gus Prause, of
Yoakum. Each band had to play
three pieces. The first prize was
awarded the Shiner band, which
made a score of 675 points. The
second prize was won by the Schin-
dler band, with a score of 525. The
third best score was made by the
Lone Star Band of Freyburg, which
was 365 and the Appelts Hill band
scored 355 points.
After this the Weimar band ren-
dered some fine concert music
which was heartily applauded,
especially the Varitone solo by Mr.
Otto Rost.
There were also prizes given for
the best decorated floats, carnages,
buggies, bicycles, etc., and the fol-
lowing were the fortunate winners:
Otto, son of Emil Schulz, first
prize—the wagon represented a
menagarie.

count of lack of room we can not
mention them.
NOTES.
Ed Wangemann and Dick Sev-
dler, silent members (when it
comes t'> playing—not talking—
and—and—b<n'r) of the Shiner
l)an(l, were «lso among those pres-
ent. This was Ed's first visit here
in over five years.
The Shiner band was O. K.
Iliey made good music, and the
members aje a jolly set. The
leader, Aug. Schramm, is a whole-
souled gentleman.
Capt. Wittich's military com-
pany put up a drill in Turner hall
in the afternoon.
The Appelt's Hill band in their
pretty uniforms made a nice show-
ing.
There were no flies on the Schin-
dler band, they didn't look it but
—law me—didn't they play?
Little Marie, daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. H.J. Mosig, of Hallets-
villef won the first prize for the
prettiest baby.
At night a grand ball took place,
which ended one of the most en-
joyable feasts ever held in Schulen-
burg.
Everybody expressed themselves
as well pleased, and said, that
Schulenburg never fails to have a
good time at anything they may
undertake.
Emil Baumgarten's buggy was
admired by all. It was decorated
with genuine cape jassamines and
water Tillies.
Owing to an accident, the parade
was deprived of a float gotten up
by Oltmanns, A. Schumann and
Ebeling & Son, which represented
the three beer agencies. The
horses ran away and broke things
up in the alley in the rear of H. P.
Schaefer'8.

THE OPERETTA.
Turner hall was crowded last week
Wednesday night to witness the juvenile
operetta, "A Dream of Fairy Land,"
presented by .the talented pianist Miss
Alma Boettcher, assisted by Mrs. Fred.
Ebeling and Miss Emma Merrem, in aid
of the cemetery association.
TEe hardest job a newspaper man
ever undertook is to write up an enter-
tainment given by home talent and es-
pecially by children, for you- know, dear
reader, to please the mamma's, grand-
ma's, sisters and cousins is just out of
the question, so we will state right here
that no writer could do justice in a write
up of this play as it was as nearly per-
fect as it could be and what really added
most was the beautiful style in which
the stage was decorated—the nice flow-
ers adding much. The first scene sure-
ly came as near representing a dream of
Fairyland as could be possible.
The whole cast of performers consist-
ed of little Misses and boys between the
ages of 3 and 16 years.
Every single one of the childien did
well and those of the little tots who de-
serve special mention for playing their
parts so admirably were Fay Johnson,
Emmy Russek, Edith (H. P.) Schaefer,
Lucile Upton, Mabel Rose and Mabel
Holland.
Those who had leading parts in the
play were: Hilda Ebeling and Sadie
Margolius, as the ''Two Orphans," both
little Misses had lengthy roles which
were rendered without a flaw.
Little Lucile Upton sang "I Love You
Best Mamma Deal9' and carried the
tune with as much ease as if she had
been used to it always.
The cake walk was executed very ar-
tistically by the following: Misses Cleo
Clark, Lassie Schaefer, Sadie Margolius,
Hilda Ebeling; Masters Herbert Neu-
haus, Robt. Schaefer, Chas. Krook, Ad.
Wangemann and little Emmy Russek
and Victor Johnson.
The following are the fairies—Good
Fairies: Misses Irene Holland, Emma
Rose, Mary Beniker, Cleo Clark, Geor-
gia Yanch, Lassie Schaefer, Lima John-
son and Lillie Bohlmann. These were
all dressed in white trimmed in gold
braid.
Evil Fairies, dressed in black with
gold trimmings, were: Misses Selma
Keuper, Julia Matula, Hilda Wange-
mann, Erna Neuhaus, Lannie Tanner,
Stella Rosenberg and Lydia Russek.
"Two Angels," Misses Elsa Voelkel
and Tonip Russek.
To train all the above children and
teach them their respective parts is no
little task and the above mentioned la-
dies, who had charge of this affair cer-
tainly deserve much credit.
