he lived under Eastern skies instead of
our glorious climate.
1t was rare day. The storm and the
cool weather following it had departed,
and the suns rays had tempered the
atmosphere until in the afternoon it
was a. trifle warm, but nobody thought
of complaining, and all enjoyed the
weather The attraction of the day was
the Caledonian picnic, and the people
were on hand by thousands at East
Park to see the brawny sons of Scotia
contend in athletic excl cises and to en-
joy the picnic in all it's phases, which
are many and varied.
In the morning the local club and the
visiting CaledOnians made a tour of the
business streets in carriages, the pipers
making the air resonant with the notes
Of the bagpipes. They proceeded to the
park and began the games. Later in
the morning the Sacramento Society of
Pioneers arrived and were met at the
gate by Chief McClennan and others
and preceded by the pipers marched
around the track where the sports were
held and ended their march at the
Chiefs tent, into which they were
ushered and welcomed, Mr. Twitchell
of the society making a neat speech.

drunk by the Caledonians, they We're

where a bounteous collation. had been
spread, and Chief McClennan again
babe them welcome and invited them
to fall to. After due attention had
been paid to the pleasures of the table,
three cheers for the Caledonians were
called for by the Pioneers and respond
ed to with hearty good will. and the
company broke up and paid a visit to
the games.

grounds and every seat of the amphi-
theater was occupied, while hundreds
stood around Watching the contests The
dancing platform, too was in constant
requisition and was crowded. While no
records were broken, the contests were
many of them close and the work was
first class. Especially was this the case
with the boys and girls in the dancing
and with the boys in their athletic con-
tests, in which some of them did re-
