Splendid piano music was rendered by the misses Ester and Elizabeth Rylander; "Skona Maj" (Beautiful May) was well sung by a male chorus under the leadership of Mr. Emanuel Carlson; the Union Quartette sang two numbers, "Old Folks at Home," and "Aftonen" (Evening); Nati Peterson gave an imitation of a Cornet solo, Miss Selma Holmquist and Stylander, and the male chorus, already mentioned, completed the festival with "Hor oss Svea" (Hear Us Svea).

One of the features of the program was a speech by C. R. Chindblom who had chosen as his subject "The Swedish Americans." The talk was received with strong applause. The festival was well attended.
