the Union league.
Councilman McGary and Captain A.
F. Mackey, than whom no more genial,
whole-souled or truer Democrats ever
came from the Emerald Isle, received
a perfect ovation as they rose to express
their thanks for being honored with be-
ing guests of the Union League. They
declared they had never felt more at
home, even at Democratic love feast,
than at this friendly and fraternal gath
ering, and they proposed to stay and see
it through.
DON MARCO FoRsTER's FEATs.
As closing performance, G. B. It'd

put on the mittens and meet him in q

VAIN ATTEMPTS TO SLEEP.
Finally most of the older roysterers
retired to their berths in Pullman
sleeper, which the railroad company had
sidetracsed for their use. Those who
could not get in the car bunked on the
sand and in all sorts of odd places, only
a few seeking the shelter of a roof
Some of the young bloods did not retire
at all, but put in their time keeping the
sisting of fifteen pieces, took prominent
part in this, and furnished some sere.

mony than noise.
THE INNER MANS COMFORTS.
There were refreshments for the inner
man, in abundance, but the published
announcement of the managers that nc
intoxicating beverages should be sold
on the grounds, was adhered to to the
letter. Deliciously cooling draughts
however, were dispensed without money
and without price. In the edible line,
the principal item was barbecued heller
Spanish. One Of the fattest and juiciest
Of Don Marcos heifers was slaughtered
on Saturday, and another on Sunday.
Besides there were frijoles, tortillas,
chiles and various other Spanish dishes,
and midnight lunch OF tomales. For
breakfast, bacon, eggs, fried onions, po-
tatOes, etc., were served. The excellence
of the fare was attested by the zest with
which it was eaten.
SUNDAYS SPORTS.
At daybreak Sunday morning every
body was up and getting outside of a
good breakfast. Many took dip in the
ocean before sitting down to their matu-
final meal. The morning train from
Los Angeles brought several hundred
more people, many ladies being among
the number. There were also number
OF ladies present Saturday afternoon,
and dancing was INDUCED in. The
sports of Saturday were rehearsed on
Sunday, bull fights and all, with added

GORED BY A BULL.
About 8 O'Clock in the afternoon, as
the vacqueros we're bringing fresh bull
into the ring--a large and vicious ami
mal-George Wightman, Of Santa Ana,
was run down and horribly gored by
the ferocious brute. Wightman is over
20 years of age, and hard of hearing. He
was walking from the beach to cottage
which he was occupying for the sum-
mer, when the bull sighted him. The
crowd shouted to him to beware, but
he either failed to hear the warning
cry or did not have time to heed it, for
almost before the horror-stricken throng
realized it.. the infuriated animal was
upon the old man, and impaled him on
his horns. One of the beasts horns
passed between the thighs of the unfor-
tunate man, from the rear, horribly
the scrotum. He was
thrown most violently to the ground
and trampled upon. In an instant the
cowboys had lassoed the bull and
dragged him from his prey, but when
was picked up, it was found
that he had received injuries that will
prove fatal. The injured man
was hastily carried to his house, and
Drs. Davisson, Smith and Weldon pro-
ceeded to make an examination. They
found, in addition to the wound above
that, four ribs on the left
side were crushed in, the broken parts
the lungs. The lower por-
ton of the sternum was also broken,
besides numerous bruises and contu-
sions. The doctors pronounced his
chances for recovery exceedingly slim.

Among the guests of the league were
the following gentlemen from San
Diego: w. H. Fullerton, A. w. Ather-
ton, E. H. Miller, F. o. Roffins, A. Gas
son, Superior Judge w. L. Pierce (the

Clendenning's gun and 40 happily re-
covered), Major Keen, G. j. Dougherty,
L.F. Works, N. Kennedy and Pat Sprigg.
All are members of the San Diego Union
League except Mr., Sprigg, who ia a
were perfectly carried away
with their entertainment. Judge Pierce
had as much fun as any man in the
crowd, and before adjournment offered
the following set of resolutions in behalf
of the San. Diegans, which was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, we are strangers and we
have been taken in, way in; and, where
as, we have taken in much food and
more drink; and, whereas, being filed
the Union League of Los Angeles is re-
sponsible forit; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the. members of said
Union League are bully boys, that we of
San Diego have it in for them; that the
