games OF the Sc0ttlsn IniSLlS SluD at
Shell Mound Park yesterday was well at
tended, when it is taken into consideration
that there were no trains running between
tie Oakland mole and the picnic grounds
during the day.
Those who attended the games from this
side of the bay took passage on the boats
that landed at the foot of Broadway, Oak
land. and from that point they managed
to reach their destination by taking pas
sage on the street-cars. which landed them
within few blocks of the park.
1t was certainly a rather roundabout
way of getting to the pleasure resort, yet
it did not take more than one hours travel
from the city to reach Shell Mound.
Considering the many counter attrac-
ions of the day. besides the mode of con-
veyance employed, owing to the stoppage
of the regular train service. there was a
t0leraby good showing at the park, and
during the time the games were In prog
ress the seats on the grand stand were
nearly all occupied. The dance hall was
also we'll filled with the young folk, who
seemed to enjoy the pleasure OF dancing 10
sweet music.
One of the principal features of the
games programme was a bicycle race for
ladies, which event was easily captured
by pretty young lady, who was handi-
capped considerably by long dress which
covered her feet and greatly impeded the
action of her pedal extremities. She stuck
to the saddle, however, until the finish,
when she received a well-meriLed cheer
from the spectators.
The obstacle race was another feature
which proved quite laughable and interest
ing. The contestants had 10 crawl through
barrels and scale fences of considerable
height. The race was $50 yards and the
finish was very close. The Scotch and
Irish dancing on a platform erected pur-
posely for the occasion attracted many
people from the dancing hail. and as a
feature of amusement it was pronounced
by all spectators the event of the day.
