Three thousand Norwegians celebrated the eighty-eighth anniversary of the adoption of the constitution of Norway, yesterday at Kuhn's Park.
Fritz Meyer delivered the address of welcome. Then followed B. Bjornson's old and popular song "Ja vi elsker dette landet" (Yes we love this land), sung by the entire crowd. A. O. Thorpe made the festival speech. B. T. Richolson, Coroner, H. L. Hertz, and Peter Svanoe, Vice-Consul for Sweden and Norway also spoke.
After singing "The Star Spangled Banner" the program was brought to a close.
The proceeds will be used to purchase an oil painting of Lief Erickson to be exhibited at the World's Fair.
