SWEENEY'S GIFT
TO THE PEOPLE.
A Pretty Panorama on Straw
berry Hills Summit.
Many Guests and Visitors Present at the
Presentation Ceremonies-Speec
Made on the Occasion.

A ceremony of unusual interest at Golden
Gate Park yesterday was the presentation
to the Park Commissioners, by Thomas U.
Sweeney. of the Park Panorama, a beauti-
full new structure recently completed on
Strawberry Hill and overlooking the ocean
and the Golden Gate. The panorama is
really an amphitheater. designed for wis.,
itors to the park and to protect them from
the strong winds that blow off the ocean at
that point-at the same time aifording
magnii ent view for miles in all directions
on land and sea.
The presentation took place at 80 o'clock,
and in the presence of many visitors and
invited guests. The Board OF Park Com
missioners and the Supervisors were pres
ent, though Mayor Sanderson could not at
tend. The party of guests assembled at the
lodge and was thence taken in carriages
over beautiful drive winding around
Strawberry Hill to its summit. The Park
Band was already there as well as a big
crowd.
Mr.. Sweeney, the donor of the unique gift,
was there, OF course. and was the happiest
man in the party, shaking hands cordially
with the visitors. After some selections by
the band Mr.. Sweeney was introduced by
President W. W. Stowe of the Park Com
missioners. The donor is IA small. sparely
built man, with full beard, grizzled with age
and dressed in clothes of dark cloth and
black SLOUGH hat, as modest and unassum-
ing as his own demeanor. lie looked like
man who had received many hard knocks.
SPOKE BRIEFLY AND FEELINGLY.
He spoke briefly and feelingly, prefacing
his words with a short sketch of himself.
lie told how he left New York in 1851 and
landed in San Francisco in 1852 with only
S15 in his pockets. He went at once to Sac
ramento. where he was delayed one week
by the breaking OF the levee, but eventually
started tor the gold mines with 81 80, the
last 80 cents of which he expended for food.
He said, abiding to the Panorama in
which lie stood, and pointing ont the beau
tiful views on all sides, that what he had
done any other poor boy could do. He
closed with these words: Il now present
this magnificent structure to the Park Com
mssionerS for the benefit of the public"
aud placing his battered hat back on his
head from its resting place on hitchlng-
post he stepped back amid loud cheers.
President Stowe, in behalf of the Park
Commissioners, accepted the gift, declaring
that no higher praise can be bestowed upon
Mr. Sweeney than the statement that he saw
aud cUmprehended tho wondrous works OF
nature here displayed and generously fur
nished the means for their enjoyment by
others.

Monday night Patrick Donnally, well-to-do
rancher living near Oaksdale, was shot and
seriously wounded by Marshal Malhern. The
circumstances of the affair were as follows: Mr..
Donnally had stoppedin town on his way up the
river to take charge of the logging camp of
William Codd. He met several old acquaint-
ances and in their company imbibed SO much
liquor that he became very boisterous. He
started to walk toward the depot every now and
then letting a blood curdling whoop which
would have done credit to a Sioux Indian en-
gagged in the ghost dance. Marshal Malhern heard
the noise and pursued the disturber of the quiet of
the town. He caught up with Donnally near the
skating rink and attempted to put him under
arrest Donnally resisted and breaking away
started to run. Malhern called upon him to
stop and fired two shots in the air. but the fugi-
tive didn't scare worth cent and ran faster than
ever. Malhern then shot in earnest and winged
his man. Although wounded Donnally con-
hnued to run and eluded pursuit. About IL
o'clock, however, he hobbled into town and
gave himself up. He was taken to the st. Elmo
hotel aud medical aid summoned. 1t was found
that the bullet had entered the right thigh and
