Also the participation of the general public was satisfactory. Most impressive were the exercises in mass formations which indeed gave an imposing appearance...The purpose of the exhibition exercises, to give to the public a clear picture of the endeavors and achievements of the German Turnerships and to gain new friends, may have been reached this time perfectly. The spectators will without doubt beconvinced that the various clubs have tried with success to obtain the bodily developments of their pupils by following strict systematic rules and at the same time will recognize that the opening up of public athletic grounds in the parks of the City is an absolute necessity.
