 OF GREAT ANIMATION.
In the Evening There Was a Grand Display of Fireworks in the Big Ampitheater Over

The sixteenth annual outing of the Scottish Thistle Club was held yesterday at Shell Mound Park, and like all previous events of this organization 1t was a de- cided success without @ single feature to mar the occasion. Hundreds of people from San Francisco and the surrounding cities went there early in the morning, but the crowd f1ocked to the grounds In the afternoon after the big parade In this city by hundreds, and by o'clock fully 5000 were present. The large pavilion was filled all day with dancers, many in the picturesque dress of bonnie Scotland.
 Captain Siebe had taken special pains to decorate the grounds and flags of every color and nation (barring one) found place in the gorgeous collection, and above all In the most prominent places proudly fioated the stars and stripes. Those dis posed to quiet enjoyment found dozens of cozy little hooks where family lunches were spread and where the music of the bagpipes foated in, lending enchantment to the surroundings.
 And there was another element, the sturdy fellows who take pride in perform ing featS of strength, skill and agility. From early in the morning until evening the athletic grounds presented an ani- mated scene. A Scottish picnic without games and races would only be half an outing. The programme this year was particularly interesting and the prizes of fered, mostly cash, were extremely liberal. One of the most charming features, one highly appreciated, was a cakewalk, a real old-fashioned ante-bellum coon ex- hibition, in which the best talent on both sides of the bay participated. Although half dozen couples entered into the com petition the honorS and prizes fell to the lot of Mir. and Miss Stewart.
