The lion's share of all prizes went to the Chicagoans, victors at the Turner festival. The magnificent festival is over; the thirty-fourth festival of the American Turners' Alliance in Buffalo was brilliantly concluded with a final festal display at the All High Stadium yesterday afternoon. The wonderful weather favored the performances; 15,000 people were present when the speaker of the Bund, Seihel, began the distribution of prizes.

The Lincoln Turner Society finished with honors and won with 230.73 points the third prizes. The Chicago Turner Society won sixth place.

Chicago Rich in Honors

The Turner festival was a tremendous advertisement for German gymnastic exercises, and the Turner Bund can rightfully be proud of the success of the festival, which was held in Buffalo. For the Chicago Turners [especially] 2this festival was a great success. Even though some [individual] societies had perhaps greater hopes before the festival, still the [total] result exceeded all expectations. Chicago carried away the lion's share of the prizes. No other city can be compared with Chicago.
