The First Saturday Excursion at the New

The First Saturday Excursion al the New
Pleasure Grounds.
a beautiful morning dawned yesterday
fol- the benefit of the first Saturday eXcur-
sion to the new pleasure grounds at Ell
Campo, which are to be continued every
Saturday and Sunday until late in the
autumn, and many persons awaited them
selves OF the opportunity to visit what
promises to be one of the most popular
family pleasure resorts on the whole Coast.
To say that the excursion was in charge of
W. II. Mention is guarantee of its perfect
success. The gallant Colonel was to the
lore as usual looking handsome and be-
bonair in his white tie, fancy summer vest
and diamond studs, and took great pride in
the pleasure which his guests seemed to
take on the trip. The commodions Ukiah.

panied by their teachers, had gone to pass
the day at Ell Campo. This beautiful
spot, which commands a view of
Red Rock and San Pablo Bay, lies
famous in the annals of Marin County.

slope in winding way up toward the sky,

music to the great delight of all the excur-
sionists. Those who love to roam among
the trees followed up the many roads that
have been opened along the old trails into
the hillside forest
1t is the intention of the company to keep
this place for family resort. The Society Of
California Pioneers are to mold reunion at
Ell Campo III on week day. 1t is the in
tention of Colonel Mention to arrange some
plan by which the children of San Francisco
may be enabled to enjoy the delights of a
day in the country and yet not take more
than forty-iVe minutes to get there.
In time batE-house will be built at Ell

PIGEON SHOOTING.
Closing Contest of the Alameda
Gun Club.

The Alameda Gun Club held its seventh
and last shoot for this season at the Oakland
rate-track yesterday afternoon. The an
nouncement that this event would close
very successful season, and also determine
who are entitled to the three handsome
medals offered by the organization as sea-
son prizes, served to bring out not only
large crowd of devotees, but a strong con-
tingent of all-around sporting people as
well, who seemed to enjoy the diversion
as much as the participants themselves.
The opening contest was, as usual, the
club match, for which ten members entered,
all of whom had made full scores in the pre-
yious six matches. with the exception of
Norton, Houghton and S. l. Kellogg. They
had missed many of the matches, only hay
ing shot at sixty birds for the season out of
a possible seventy-two. Throughout the
entire season competition in this club has
been exceedingly close and the men faced
the traps yesterday with an unusual amount
of caution. A good lot of birds had been
provided, only three during the day refusing
to fly. There was light wind, and taken
all around, the closing contest for the sea-
son of 1891 was big success The scores

epaulets and skirt frills. The knotted sash
falls in front and long mitts of ecru silk are
worn. This costume was finished in New
DIRK this week TO the order of Miss Sallle
Hargous-ab whose clothes one gets, alas
very tired of writing-and sent to Newport
for the late summer practice.
Over the rail of a trim little yacht with
black hull and white sails there leaned all
day yesterday groups OF girls watching the
dazzling water and the maneuyers of the
gulls It was an ideal day for a yachting
party, and it brought out some ideal water
gowns. There were white flannels with blue
shirts, gray flannels with pink shirts, and
brown flannels turned up with hens of gold
braid. As rule most of the decorative re-
sponsibility of the costume seemed to rest
upon the bodice and the hat. as in case of
black serge skirt worn with white shirt
upon which the tawny orange tie hung har-
moniZed with a bunch of variegated roses
on the black chip hat.
There was black and white striped
dress crowned with a basket work hat
trimmed with powder blue velvet which
accorded wonderfully with the yellow hair
1t rested upon. There was white serge
that was closely spotted with mauve, and a
dark blue serge with tull blouse and
sleeves of that universally used material,
pinkisn lowered chiffon. Another Curious
phenomenon was a fine white flannel
trimmed with black chiffon frillS and worn
with little black hat with white wings.
The costume shown in the sketch was of
white serge with white silk blouse and
REFER of navy blue with white cuffs. A
frock of red cotton, for even on the water
cotton is not wholly abandoned, was
printed with small white horseshoes and
worn with large black hat trimmed with
red chiffon and white wings.
There are not so many new things in
evening dress, and yet the summer dance
gowns are picturesque in shape and in
color. Strings Of bluebells or daisies are
festooned about the muslin fiounces. and
flower chains fall from the waist almost to
the ground. The new silk muslins are pat
termed with yellow grain spikes, and with
gorgeous pomegranate and cactus blooms.
a pale blue muslin is figured with horse
chestnut leaves. A full ruche of pinked
out silk borders the skirt, and there are
shoulder knots and waist fulls Of the same
ma terial.
delicate green silk is girdled at the
waist with green beads. 1t has d tiOunce of
silk embroidered green chiffon about the
bottom of the skirt, and low bodice with
chiffon feStoons.
A white corded silk embroidered with
buttercupS is uncommon in design. Guipure

Pye Regrets That He Cannot Comfort
the Old Man.
James Pye, resident of PentonYille
Hill, London, is very sorry that Florence
BIythe's Grandpa Perry is dead, and he
has poured out the walls of his grief in
long letter which Judge Coffey received
yesterday. In this morbid communication
the writer says he is sorry that Perry is
dead, because the old man had made scan
dalous and villainous statements to a re-
porter concerning letter which Pye wrote
to Judge Coffey in April He wanted Perry
to live so that he might at some future day
confront him with proofs of his wicked
ness. Pye also states that Sarah Baily,
who gave valuable testimony for Florence,
has returned to London and says that the
testimony she gave was given at the request
oil Perry, who promised to richly recon-
pense her, but who in reality treated her
like dog.

ing as in the regular match. Nine members
entered for the purse, which was divided
into two moneys and won by Bolander and
Osborne, each making a clean score. Os-
borne killed his birds with the first barrel,
and some of them were very swift drivers
Bolander found it necessary to use q second
barrel on four birds out Of the six. Smith
missed his fifth bird, which rose from the
trap like flash, and Lake did some ex-
ceedingly clever work on left-quarter
drivers. Barney missed his last, which was
a rlght-quarter driver, and Bell made the
lowest score, losing three out of six. The
scora stood ms folIowe.

travelling abroad. The young people are
both prominent in society circles. The gen.
