THE TRIP TO THE PARK.
When the crowd had boarded the Ukiah
that comm odious craft looked like sardine
box afoat, so closely was she packed,
Messrs. Bergin and McGlynn, who we're
on board as representatives of the railroad
company, estimated that 200 persons had
passed the barriers when the steamer
moved of. but it is safe to say that more
deliberate count would have raised the
number nearly thousand. The upper and
lower decks of the steamer were in the
same condition; standing room only, and
very little at that. On the arrival at Tiburon
the crowd poured out through the exit ex-
actly like stream of water through
funnel. and though everything that would
run on wheels had been gotten ready for
the rush there were not nearly cars enough
when the FIRST long train moved away.
1t was half-past y when the cars drew I'D
opposite the park, and then a wild, laugh
ing scramble down the embankment, in
which about 700 INDUCED, served only to re-
veal The vision of the old stagers who took

EXERCISES IN THE PAVILION.
The pavilion was well thrUnged when the
crowd had all passed the gates, and no time
was lost in getting to business. As each
man and woman entered the grounds the
legend over the gateway spoke to them in
this patriotic fashion:
The oath has been kept and fulfilled
BY our fathers so brave and bold
For the freedom they have to us wfiIed
We shall fight as the patriots of old.
The patriotic spirit was sustained by the
spectacle of Tell and the boy, who occupied
a prominent place on the platform. John
Ii. Fritschi, President of the day, intro
duced Consul Antoine Borel, who made a
few remarks very much to the point, say
ing that on August /, 1891, just GOO years
ago, three men met ON the shore of the Lake
Of Lucerne for the purpose of forming a
league to defend and maintain the princi-
pies of liberty. They met in self-defense
and in the face of heaven. They were sat-
isfed in their hearts and in their conscience

SUNDAY PASTIMES.
Cricket Contest at Golden Gate
for Benefit.
Sixth Pigeon Shoot of the Recreation Gun
Club at the Oakland Track-Iuter-
esting Hand-Ball Games.

There was larger attendance than usual
at the cricket match at Golden Gate yester-
day. Several also had purchased tickets OF
admission who did not intend to be present,
and the financial result of Tie game Is ex-
pected to net a substantial amount 10 the
beneficiary. Tom Booth.
The eontesting teams we're the eleven
which leaves today for British Columbia
and a fifteen chosen from the remaining
members of the association. The game
proved a somewhat disappointing one, the
ball having the upper hand throughout and
the scores running small There were lively
bits of hitting during the innings of Robert
son and Sloman for the eleven, and How
elPs batting in the first innings of the tf-
teen was a sound and finished display.
Play was commenced about II o'clock,
and the fifteen were all out in an hour and
half for a total of 90 runs. With the excep
lion OF Howell's score of %, and JohnSton's
unusually slowly compiled contribution
10. none OF the batsmen offered any serious
resistance TO the bowling. Howell hardly
seemed comfortable al the start Of his in
nin2s and gave at least one palpable chance.
Afterward he steaGied down and showed
his usual strong defense against the best
bowling on the Coast Robertson IN par
ticular was in exceptionally fine form and
obtained his eight Wickets for the trl1lng
cost Of y runs.
Lawrence and Webster started the in
nngs for the eleven, and more than twenty
runs we're obtained before Lawrence was
well caught and buwled by Low. Webster
batted throughout in his usual style, and
saw three other members Of the side out be-
lore being smartly caught by Howell.
Sloman's p was merry contribution and
included a fine drive fer four over the fence
4 Eoud stand was made later by Weise and
Randall, the former Of whom seemed to
have recovered his form Of the rieT part
Of the season. The innings Of the eleven
closed with an advantage Of 80 in their
favor. About an hour was left for play,
during which the fifteen lost nine wickets
for 81 runs. Hood was the only batsman
who met with more than ordinary success.
Howell was decidedly unfortunate in being
given out On decision which was al least
doubtful.
Tie fielding On both SIDES was good
throughout. The eleven in particular were
on their mettIe ana worked like beavers.
Appended are the scores:

of the legitimacy of their action. 1t was a
grand. noble example that was given by
the founders Of Swiss independence. The
progress of the Swiss republic has been
slow but certain, and to-day witnesses its
citizens united as ever for the defense of
liberty, the greatest OF earthly blessings.

THE ORATORS SPEECH.
Rudolph Strehli of Stockton, the orator uf
the day, was next introduced. In the course
OF his remarks he said: six hundred years
ago. while all Europe was gr0aning under
the oppression Of the feudal system. the
people of Altorf, humble Swiss town,
were enjoying the liberty which their au-
cestors had enjoved from time immemorial
The people of Uri and Schwyz and INTER
walden had been protected by the Emperor
OF Germany, and in return rendered him
help in the hour of need. The turning
point in the affairs of the country came
when Albrecht Of Austria began to sanction
the erection of castles by feudal lords in
men were compelled by these lords to
forge letters for themselves. Then it was
that three men, one from Uri, one from
Schwyz and one from Unterwalden came
together, and soon after thirty men met
in secret. vowiBg to stand together for the
right In the face OF all trials and dangers
and eXtremities.
The speaker proceeded to tell the familiar
legend Of the tyIant Gessler, and the single
hearted patriot Tell; of the triumph of the
archer's skill in the keenest of all tests; of
the mental struggle which Tell underwent
before he waylaid and slew Gessler at
Kussnacht. He next spoke.of the patriot of
patriots. Arnold Winkelried of INTER
walden, who in the battle of Sempaeh gath
cred the spears Of the Austrian foeman into
his bosom and by his death made pathway
to victory for the Swiss through the gap in
the spearmen's ranks. He spoke of the
glories Of Morgarten and tile battle of st.
Jacobps on the Birs, where 600 Swiss peas
ants kept back the army Of the French

The condition of the New Castle jail
faithfully portrayed by representa-
tive of the REPUBLICAN who visited it
and whose article Is found In to-day's
REPUBLICAN, is very suggestive to the
lx-payers OF New Castle county. 1t
shows in one OF the minor details that
the Ball law for the supprds siou of the
tramp nuisance does not meet the pur-
pose intended; first, because those who
have contracted to furnish stone to
break do not fulfill their con tracts. and
second, even IL they did the tramp null
sance would remain undated.
The Levy Court could remedy the
stone deficiency by getting after the
contractors for furnishing stone with
a sharp stick, but that would have no
influence i'll lessening the number OF
tramps sent over to New Castle. The
main point fully set forth in the arti-
Gle referred to is that the jail is too
small for the number of prisoners sent
to it, too small for n county of nearly
lou, 600 pc ulation, when it was built
to accommodate the Grim nal class oil
sc. 600.
Crowded together and duplicated IL

Allow me space In your valuable pa
per TO saga word In reference TO sister
Josephine Sorden, one OF the most
faithful members OF Mt. Joy M. Z.
Church. It pleased the Almighty to
call her from labor to reward on the
23d instant. She left a husband and
four children to mourn her deeease.
She has been member OF the M. L.
Church for about eighteen years. When
she was well she did not stop on &C.
count Of the weather. She has been q
good wife and an affectionate mother,
but God has called her to another
world to reap her reward.
Before she departed this life a broth
er asked her: where shall ]. meet you,
sister Sorden?" and she told MIN in
the kingdom of our God. No. class
will meet sister Sorden no more In Mt.
JOY Church, but II they be faithful they
will meet her In the church triumphant
where there will be no more parting.
She has lived about AZ years in this
life. but Christ has called her to live
with him for ever. Oh, may the pray
ing part of the church make special
prayers for her husband and -four
children that they may DO found ready
when the blessed Master shall come.
