SltSl III NiClulbY was buo OuS 6iNSh
yesterday at Arroyo Seco by the Legion
Franchise. Two or three thousand peo-
pie were present, nearly all of whom were
French or Italians. and more quiet.
orderly, pleasant party of merrymakers
could not be found anywhere. Various
forms of military urill. target shooting,
dancing and music enlvened the entire
day.
The parade of the Legion Franchise
and the Garibaldi guards, both in this
city and at the Arroyo Seco, was strik-
ing feature Of the days programme. The
very best order prevailed throughout the
day and all such Objectionable characters
as usually haunt picnic grounds to the
detriment of the better classes, were
rigidly excluded. Many valuable articles
were donated by the merchants OF the
city to be distributed as prizes.
The proceeds of the day were equally
divided between the French poor ana the
other poor under the care of the Associ-
ated Charities without regard to religious
or other differences.
The Legion Franchise has given pic
mic of this kind once year for long
time. and the plan is gaining in popu-
larity very rapidly.
Inc great CTOWu ana tne pleuaHt tiIho
enjoyed by all who speak concerning the
matter are very gratifying to the persons
in charge and will prove constant slim
ulus to renewed effort to make the next
picnic better still.
The Garibaldi Guards and the Italian
colony in general turned out yesterday to
help make the picnic success. On the
26tIl of this month the Italians will give
picnic ana the French will gratefully
return the favor.
Among the beautiful decorations on the
various pavilions the American flag was
conspicuous. and the French and Italians
manifested their loyalty and good citizen
ship by honoring the flag on all occasions.
The distribution of the valuable prizes
donated by the merchants of this city
was a very interesting part OF the day 6
