East Side Park at Siege, was held the
first annual picnic of the Anador
| County Association. Though the
morning was little cold and bluster
ing, the main part of the day could
not have been better. Siege, or East
Sido Park is beautiful and an ideal
place for a picnic, it is within easy
distance of the car track, being about
4UU feet from it, in a fine location
The park is entirely enclosed SO one
is not annoyed by any outside in
truders. 1t contains the various
advantages to be found in such
places, especially for young people,
including lake tor rowing purposes.
Some of our pienickers found them
selves marooned in mid lake and wise
ly concluded, that they could navi-
rate the "Ram's Horn at Volcano
better than a boat in lJast Side Park.
Including children there were over
$50 persons present, aud every one
seemed bent on meeting all the rest,
and in knowing all present. Each
person had slip of paper fastened
on his or her wearing apparel, with
a name on it, that che who runs
may read" and by reading these
slips one could easily find many
residents Of Old Amador, such as
Jimmy Mayor, Tom Mayor, Dave
Miller. John X. TregIoan, Billy o..
Clark, Hon. r.. John Davis, Ed.
Freeman, Judge kroning, DR.. Gabbs,
Il. MuIdoon. and many others too
numerous to mention from the towns
of the county.
At mon all repaired to beautiful
grove of weeping willows, under
which are permanently built comfort
able tables and benches. All brought
their baskets and made bounteous
spread, and it was greatly enjoyed by
all. 1t was a regular Amador county
day, bright sun aud clear sky, and if
we could have bad few Indians
around to enjoy the cheap biscuits"
one would have easily imagined him
self to be on one of the grand hills of
fair AmadoI.
/ must not forget to mention the
fair and handsome daughters of ANA
dor that one could find by reading
little slips fastened to their dainty
white suits, and among them |
noticed Hattie Hinkson, Name
Wheeler, Mabel Wheeler Breese,
Edith French, Miss Blakely, Miss
Bunker, Carrie Tiffany, Julia Hink-
son Miller, May Arditto Hattie
Scott, Mrs Dickerman, and many
others. Phillip Orchard and his
charming young wife, seemed to be as
happy and contented as any one; Mrs
Trevina and son were familiar faces,
and Mrs Prosser of Sutter Creek,
Chester Prouty, Mr. and Mrs Kane,
Mr. and Mrs Riley, Mrs Trengove,
Mrs Braser, Mrs Hipkins, Mrs Bali
and I. Trengove were among the resi-
dents of lone. 1t was indeed a treat
TO meet and talk with so many old
friends great many we're there who
at present live elsewhere, and among
them we're Judge Davis and wife,
though the Judge still claims Jack
son as his homo; Fred Bradley and
wife, (nee parks), and Mrs jas. II.
Parks, still looking as young as her
fair daughters. 1t would be difficult
to tell of all that were there, but it
was voted that all then present would
be there next year, and all
went away we'll satisfied with their
visit and wishing success to the
organization.
John r.. Tregloan was president OF
the day, Hon. Edward Freeman was
toast master, while very interesting
addresses were made by Judge Davis,
Hon. Fred Stewart OF lone, W. o..
Clark of Drytown, Dr.. James L..
Mayon Of Oakland, and the ladies
we're represented by genuine pioneer
Of 40, Mrs Julia Hinksou Miller of
Drytown, who gave an interesting
address full of pioneer times. And
the Native Daughters"were represent
ed by Miss Clara Burt of Oakland, in
a neat address. After the toast mas
ter made an interesting talk, all ad-
jounred to the fine pavilion, to listen
to songs by Miss Smith, accompanied
by Miss Mcdonald, and the singing
of an original song called "Dear Old
Amador" composed by Carrie Iren,
COVE Mrs BarseI.) The younger folks
