4 number of the club went down to
the train yesterday evening to meet the
members Of the San Francisco club, tax
ing with them the club pipers and at
tracted much attention before the train
arrived. When it came they escorted the
visitors to Pioneer Hall where a fine
collation. had been prepared for their re-
freshment by A. f. CIeem.
A busy season of attack on the edibles
and potables followed. When all had
satisfied their appetites, Chief Reid of the
Sacramento Club introduced Thomas
Wilson, the Chief of the San Francisco
Club, who made a brief speech, saying
that the visitors appreciated the hearty
welcome which they now, as in the past,
had received in Sacramento, and that
they hoped their hosts, in their anxiety
to insure the enjoyment of their visitors.
would not destroy or lessen their own en-
jOyment, but leave them in a measure to
take care OF themselves, which they were
sufficiently at home here to be able to do.
lie would take advantage Of this occa-
stOn to show to the assembly something
that many Of them had never seen-a
genuine Scotch thistle, to the manor
born. His daughter had brought it from
Scotland, and he now took pleasure in
presenting it TO Chief Reid, in order that
every member of the Sacramento Club
might have an opportunity of seeing
it bloom.
He then, amid great applause, made the
presentation.
Archie Logan responded for Sacra-
mento in a few remarks.
James G. Stewart, Third Chieftain, said
he wanted to see the visiting clubs enjoy
themselves. Many years of intercourse
had drawn more tightly the bonds of
friendship between the Sacramento and
San Francisco clubs. He hoped that both
the visiting clubs would enjoy themselves
better tomorrow than they had ever
hitherto done.
Then followed an impromptu pro-
gramme of song and recitation. many,
both OF the visitors and the home club,
showing no mean talent in that direction,
and elicltlng much applause.
Tom Scott opened the ball by singing
"Barrin' % the Door" J. q. Stewart sang
"a Wee Drap O. IT.; L. w. White, by
special request, Annie O. the Banks o.
Dec; Miss Elaine Ielfor and Adam Ross
gave medley on the pipes; Thomas
Carroll OF San Francisco sang THE
Wolff; r. 5. Duncan of san Francisco.
The Highland Brigade" and for an en-
core "Cassldy's Banquet" This was
very funny song. 1t brought down the
house, and the singer was presented by
the ladies with fine bouquet. Then all
sang, "Eor He's a Jolly Good Fellow:
J. q. Stewart, Here's a Health to All
Good Lassies''; John Carlaw, Bonnie
Doom; Roderick Beaton, a song IN
Bairnies, Cuddle Doom; Thomas Wilson
OF San Francisco sang Scotland YETI:
Chief Reid "A Baron Bold"
A quartet, composed of w. Peck, w.
Cogar, A. Walton and L. Mills, sang a
medley of popular melodies and received
several encores.
Hearty good fellowship ruled the even
ing and the party broke up at a late hour
to prepare for the morrow.
This morning a parade of the visiting
and local clubs through the streets will
take place, the San Francisco and Sacra-
mento pipers vieing with each other in
the production Of the national melodies,
but 1t is to be hoped that they Will not
like the Paid Piper of Hamelin," draw
all our boys and girls away to follow
them.
The gathering and games at the park
will follow, and it is one of the most
popular of the annual picnics. 1t is safe
10 predict that large crowd will attend
