Masquerade of the Chicago Turngemeinde.

Illinois Staats-Zeitung, Feb. 13, 1877

The masquerade of the Chicago Turngemeinde was the greatest festival of the year so far. Its greatest attraction was the representation of the cycle of Niebelungen. Picture 1 represented Rheingold. Picture 2 represented Walkure. Picture 3 represented Siegfried. Picture 4 represented the Dawn of the gods. Picture 5 represented the apparition of Prince Carnival.

The carnival procession was most successful. The wagons of the gods were magnificently decorated. The Chicago Turngemeinde can look back with pride upon last night's entertainment.
