San Francisco itself Will be duller than
the grave. There will be few sheepish-
looking holiday makers patrolling the
burning pavements, looking as if they don't
know what t. do with themselves, but the
world in general will dispOrt itself on the
opposite shore-vaguely termed across the
bay. 1t will be day of sport, pure and
simple, and despite the exodus OF the Ma
tive Sons to the Garden City there will
yet be entertainment for man and beast at
scores of resorts within a radius of ten
miles of the city.
Shell Mound Park will be given up to
the annual gathering of the Scottish clans.
This is always a successful picnic, and
many an exile from his native land will
cross the bay to witness the tossing of The
caber by brawny-handed Scots, while

playing of the pipes in the ''reel o. Tul-
lOch."

safe prophecy. despite the freaks of Dame
Nature in her little tlts with the magician
who sits on top of the Mills building.
