lucky youth who wins 1t need never be
late for an appointment.
A large number of the prizes consist of
candy, of which it has been impossible TO
put mere than r few samples in the win
dow. The suns rays would melt the ten

that process to take place in their own
mouths.
After all. however, the prizes are only
one item In the delights that tomorrow is
to bring. Such fascinating programme
anywhere else except in California. the
rain would descend and thunderstorm
come along just to prevent mortals from
enjoying days perfect happiness.
But in California the sun is always
shining at O'Clock on June morning.
And al o'clock punctually the boys have
been told to assemble at the Tiburon ferry.
Tickets are not OF the least Importance.
Every newsboy who presents him self will
be admitted to the steamer, tickets or no
tickets, and every imposter the committee
will turn away if he has any number of
tickets.
The Tiburon wharf will present n fine
sight that morning. Flags will be flying
and Casassa's band playing in the delight

to provision an ordinary ship for a long
voyage will be on board and when the last

the whistle will blow and the ferry-boat
steam out into the bay carrying the gayest
picnic crowd that has been seen this year.
How short that trip across the bay will
seem. ut cannot be possible we have got to
Ell Campo already!" is an exclamation that

sort of place that no one is sorry to reach,
particularly a lot of boys who are to be
monarch of all they survey for the day.
No other picnic parties are TO mar the pleas

airs, and pretending to be better dressed

will have FL Campo all to themselves. The

every boy who wishes to enjoy them.
Only twelve games, each carrying first,
second and third prize, must be put in be-
tween landing and Ell Campo and partak-
ing of lunch. The sporting editor has
charge. and the arrangement OF them does
him credit. There are two-legged races
and three-legged races, pie race and
climbing a greasy pole, chasing the pig
and--well. there Is no use telling story
twice. The newsboys can recite these
games already, just like saying "a B c."
for they are all printed upon the invita-

Every one will be so much occupied in
winning prizes that the innch-bell will
come like a thunderclap. Ding, dong"
What an appetite the pure country air
does give, when the subject of food is once
remem bered, however.
''Is the lunch free?" some one asks. Of

paper to invite boys into the country and
then let them pay for lunch. There will
be no need TO hurry TO table, either, for
the provisions are not likely to give out.
After lunch abundance OF fruit and ice
cream are 10 be served, and then the
games will begin again and the Dand will

boys. How the little fellows will hate
and execrate that ferry-boat for coming
so soon. But If they do not want to he

THE CALL has undertaken to arrange for
