The morning call., 1892-05-22

toned a fact which probably has hardly ever
been recorded in so large gathering, where
there was the fullest license for enjOYment
and beer and wine were not interdicted.
Not single intoxicated person was seen on
the grounds or in the pavilion throughout
the entire day, and the four policeman sent
up by Chief Crowley found themselves with
absolutely nothing to do. 1t occurred to
some of the boys that policeman, with his
occupation gone Is a likely subject for the
blues, and by dint of a little cOaxiHg the
cops" were induced to come inside the pn-
vili0n and TO even trip the light fantastic
toe. Nothing but the terrible suspicion and
fear that a special session of the Board of
Police Commissioners might be called to
break" the offenders prevents a detailed
record. But as one of the young merchants
expressed 1t, "If Chief Crowley were here
himself and saw how happy and orderly we
are, he would have TO get In with the rest.
II he didn't, we'd make him get in. That's

Quite large number of merchants closed
their places Of business yesterday to allow
their employees to attend the picnic. Not

too, and took their wives with them, cir

THE PRIZES.
There we're 1913 gate prizes, the numbers
for which were distributed on the train 60
ing up. The gifts to which these related
were Of the useful sort-barrels Of -four
groceries, tobacco, etc, and the drawing
caused great enthusiasm. Nearly every
large firm in the city had furnished a con-
trlbuti0n, and the winners were keenly
envied. No. 424 took the first prize, 716 the
second and 143 the third. The chances were
one in eight.
The party started on their return at $50
p NJ, but aid not arrive at San Francisco till
o'clock. There was but one complaint on
the return journey. There are two tunnels.
one between San Rafael and Millers the
other between Reeds and Milbrae. The
Young people, and especially the girls, OBJ
jected to the lamps being lighted. Colonel
Mention says that is an old story, but he
does not want to give the girls away or he
would tell why SO many bangs have to be
fixed up when the lights go out as they are
apt to do if the boys can get access to the
burners.
