At Relief Park

The Germania Lodge of the Harugari dedicated its fine new flag on the Fourth. A large procession, in which several visiting delegations from Detroit and most of the local Germán societies took part, marched through the principal streets, in the morning, to Relief Park. John Meyer, president of the society, occupied the chair. He introduced Mayor Doty, who, after a few appropriate rëmarks, extended a hearty welcome. He was followed by Paul G. Suekey, the orator of the day. He gave statistics hearing upou the society. It was organized in 1847 and now spreads over twenty-four statea, having a total meinbership of 22,418. The Ann Arbor lodge comprizes seventy-one men. The afternoon was spent quietly, picnicking and fireworks being the principal attractions.
