German-american Day

Yesterday was German-American day and right royally was it celebrated in Chelsea. The crowd was very large and all report the best of times. The procession was a large one and a great credit to the business men of Chelsea, the business raen's part of the procession being said to have surpassed all previous parades. The number of persons who participated in the festivities, who were not of Germán descent, is said to have been remarkable. But there was a vast number of GermanAmericans from all over the county present and everyone votes the day to have been a success. Gov. Rich was on hand and after an address of welcome by Peter J. Lehman, the governor spoke to the grandstand and torty or fifty auditors on the race track. At this stage our informant left.
