lar Scotch airs by the Foresters' Band
! and everybody knew that the brawny
| Scots of the Caledonian Club of this
city. with their guesas, were ready
for the annual gathering of the clans
and the games that have earned them
such wide reputation.
Everyone and his sisters and his
| cousins and his aunts turn out to the
Caledonian picnic, and when the club
and it's guests started in a long array of
carriages and paraded through the city,
preparatory to going out to East Park,
| the citizens prepared to follow them
and put in a day of pure enjoyment.
The day was beautiful one and it
was limited that the committee that
| had charge of the arrangements had
| closed bargain with Observer Bar
wick by which he should reserve the
| best of his picnic weather for them,
and that was the reason some other or
! ganizations were SO badly left, by not
| speaking far enough in advance. Be
that as it may, the day was nearly a
| perfect one, Notwithstanding a north
! wind was rustling the leaves of the
! trees. The fact was appreciated by
| the multitude also, and not for some
years has such a concourse attended
| the gathering.
All the morning the cars were well
patronized and in the afternoon peo-
pie were glad to get a foothold on the
cars running out to the park The
| Committee on Games, consisting of
Tom Scott, Daniel Reid, John Morri-
son, James Stewart, H. K. McLenan,
| d. E. Kerr, j. K. Grinton and w. A.
| Guild, were on hand and soon started
| the games.
There were a large number of con-
testants and some of the contests were
close ones and fully up to the standard
| of former years. Shortly after games
commenced the Sacramento Society of
| Pioneers arrived in a body and were
! taken in charge by Chief John Carlaw,
| First Chieftain II. X. McLenan, Sec
| end Chieftain James Stewart, Third
Chieftain D. E. KERR Fourth Chieftain
