THE BOAT AND THE CANYON,
Something About the Big Ukiah and
Lovely Ell Campo.

There is something to be told of the big
boat which carried all these bows across
the bay and through Raccoon Straits to
the picnic grounds-something which will
prove of interest to everybody.
The CALL knew there would be room
enough for all when 1t engaged the boat.
1t determined that there should and that
IS just why the biggest ferry-boat on the
bay-yes, and the biggest double-end pas
senger ferry-boat in the world-was pro-
cured for the occasion.
just four times as many people might
have piled on the Ukiah as were there and
yet there would not have been bit of a
crush.
That is one of the beauties of the big
floating palace.
The Ukiah is 291 feet long and IS feet
inches in breadth. That makes it about
as long as an ordinary block and almost as
wide as Van Ness avenue. The tonnage
OF the boat is over 5,000 900 pounds and its
horsepower is 1870.
Five thousand passengers can be carried
by 1t, as can also train of eighteen cars.
NOW IL IS only natural to suppose that
boat as big and heavy as this one is
could not travel very fast, but then the
Uklah can. 1t can go plowing through the
bay at rate of eighteen knots without
any apparent effort. and it did it yester-
day Just to show The CALLS happy boys
what it could do.
There is another thing about the big
Ukiah which makes it different from all
the rest Of the bay steamers. 1t cannot be
tilted to one side. No matter how hard
big boatioad of people might try they could
not possibly crowd on one side of the
boat enough to make it careen bit. The
reason for this is that the boat is so con-
structed that it has cabins and machinery
along both sides in such way as TO take
up great deal of room. and thus is it
made impossible for all the passengers to
hudcle together on one side or the other.
The equipment of the Ukiah is both ele-
CANT and convenient. There are cabins
with cushioned seats and cabins without.
| Ihere are walls adorned with pictures and
| walls just covered with looking-glasses
There are smoking-rooms, restaurants and
! even open decks half way up the boat,
upon which persons may Lounge and enjoy
the fresh air and still be sequestered from
| the strong winds which frequently sweep
| the bay.
| But If THE CALL showed good Judgment
in selecting the biggest boat on the bay to
transport its eXcursionists it showed better
| judgment in the selection of the picnic
| grounds.
There are lots of pretty bits Of country
in the immediate vicinity Of San Francisco
bits made pretty by natures wild pranks
but by far the prettiest one is to be found
in FL Campo Canyon.
| There all that goes to make up an ideal

HAPPY NEWSBOYS At EL CAMPO YESTERDAY

Once within the sacred precincts there was
more fun Walters were useless, every
boy helping himself.
Requests to sit down fell on needless
ears. The boys were too busy eating TO DO
anything else. Like all youngsters, tney
wanted pie, and wanted 1t before
anything else. They had been dreaming
of pies for week and common, ordinary
sandwiches would not fill the Dill. Pie
was wanted and pie they secured.
1t was mad stampede and demoraized
the ladies, but the lads enjoyed 1t and that
is what they we're there for. A regiment
of policemen could not have stopped their
quest for pie.
After the hundreds of pieces OF delicious
pastry had disappeared the boys appetltes
called for cake.
1.-The bridget The cakes" was the new
war cry and then a grand rush for the

A Day of Unbounded Delight.

high on the picnic tables the games were
in progress at the other end of the grove
and Casassa's musicians were footing away
in the pavilion.
All at once some il-advsed wretch
tipped the signal to the lads that the lunch
was ready. The details of the rush that
followed could not be told in book.
In less than five minutes it was over,
and Marie Evelyn's orderly little pro-
gramme for the boys to march in to lunch
con while the band played the Conquer
ing Hero" or something like that was
smashed into smithereens.
But the bright little woman who had
struggled so hard with her pen and her
hands TO make the affair successful was
not forgotten by the boys.
When "Jammy" Mack proposed three
cheers for The CALL, "dat's given us all
dis grub to chew" and three cheers ''fur
de lady dats fixed it all" even the hills
trembled at the blast of lung power that
followed.
George Boyne didn't get his cheers till
after the pie-eating match. but it came
just as heartily and as spontaneously as it
could at any other time.
But about that rush for the "things to
chew" 1t was typical of the struggle of
the universe. In the specified time the
board tables looked as though a Kansas
cyclone had been along that way. and yet
some of the boys were hungry.
Luck was with the latter however, and
inside the kitchen were yet other barrels
OF sandwiches. not to mention the fruit
and the icecieam. which had wisely been
reserved for the last course. So, in the
end there was enough for all. and the
smallest boy in the crowd sought the
steamer for the home trip with distended
waistcoat.
And this home trip was not the least Of

augurated their athletic sports.
The boys were wild to show their speed,
and the limited ground for that purpose at
Ell Campo (Which is soon to be enlarged)
was quickly crowded with young athletes.
1t was understood that "Bloaters," Chick
McCann and few more had been under
going rigid course of training, but this
did not frighten the rest. They
were all in training. Selling news
papers is no sedentary work BOYS have
to be pretty lively and can't afford to let
many flies or much fat settle on them
Goats were quickly peeled off together
with vests and suspenders In many cases.
Hats of hundred forms were pressed
down on the brows of our future states
men or flung impatiently aside. They
were all ''out for the stuff" and many of
them got it.

Ine time was short and the ground too
short for the varieties suggested, so it was
determined tG have some straight racing
and give not one but several prizes for the
events.
Ihe result was that nearly forty prizes
were hnally awarded. All OF them are
good stuff and such as anv boy will be
proud to acknowledge having won.

In the Court.
TUESDAY, Feb. 2Sth.

A decision of the Supreme Court
in banco has been filed in the case
of New Kung Tung and twenty
others vs.. Wong Ka Mau and ten
others. The case is an action for
trespass upon fishing right at
Eva, and the jury rendered a YER
dict for defendants. Plaintiffs ex-
copied to the verdict and alleged
errors of law during the trial, the
principal being the refusal of the
Court to admit in rebuttal as evil
dence of plaintiffs title, the records
in previous case.
The Court unanimously overrules
the motion and hold, that "where,
in an action of trespass, the issue
is the title to the property alleged
to be trespassed upon, the burden
is upon the plaintiff to prove his
title; he, having put in such evil
dence in chief, may not in rebuttal
introduce evidence of the same
character after the defendant has
closed his CASE"
