The Twenty - Ninth Annual Games of the Caledonian Society. A MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENT. Great Excitement Over the Tug-of- War Between Americans and Caledonians. The reputation of the Caledonian Society for providing a splendid day’s enjoyment at its annual gathering and games took thousands of men, women and children to Shell Mound Park yesterday. The boats and trains were crowded, and there were between 10,000 and 12,000 people on the grounds. Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose and other cities were largely represented among the spectators and competitors in the games, and one piper came all the way from Carlin, Nev. The City and County officials and Judges were also well represented, among them being Auditor Broderick, Superintendent of Btreets Ashworth, Judges Sander- son, Campbell and Joachimsen, Super- visors Taylor and Scully, and among others Chief Jobhn Morrison, ex-Chiefs T. Scott and David Reid of the Galedonian Society, Sacramento, President W. Nicol, ex-Presidents McLaren, Reid, Sutherland and Davidson of the 8t.

There was dancing in the two pavilions, and they were so crowded with couples that it was almost impossible to move around. The music was supplied by Gregg’s band. Dancing was kept up with- out a break from 11 A. m. to 8 ». M. The floor managers were J. A. McDonald and ‘W. W. McKiunon. Chief Angus McLeod and George W. Elder were particularly attentive to the guests of the society, who were liberally supplied with refreshments through their unremitting attention and thoughtfulness. The games committee, to whom the great success of the gathering was due, was com- posed of D. R. McNeill, A. Lauriston, George Davidson, J. H. Duncan, William Mitchell, D. A. Macdonald, W. C. Burnett, | John McLaren, John Reid, John Donald- son, Angus McLeod, C. Chisholm, Daniel McPhee, William R. Eaton, John W. Cam- eron, P. Mcintyre. The judges of the game were: Daniel A.

[From a photograph.] and Birdsall of the Police Department, and hundreds of other prominent citizens. The weather was most auspicious and, owing to the able management of the games committee, the various evenis on the long programme were kept going with- out a hitch, and were concluded within a reasonable time. 4 1t is safe to say that this twenty-ninth annual gathering of the society will be re- membered as one of the most successful and enjoyable in the history of the society. Chief McNeill and his able lieutenants, ex- Chiefs McLeod, Macdonald and Chisholm, have every reason to feel proud and grati- fied at the result. The games were started sharp at9 a. ., and the last event was finished about 6 ».u. The running races, jumping, throw- ing the hammer and similar athletic events were keenly contested and aroused the greatest excitement among the spectators. Although no records were broken, some of the competitors mudearemarkaifly good showing. The snncinz in highland costume, es- pecially of the girls and boys, was, as usual, a great attraction. One little tot, Lorena MclIntyre, danced the sword dance so well and_so untiringly, that when she stepped off the platform she was greeted with loud applause. . The great event of the day wasthe tug- of-war, the first prize being a sirare of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad stock. Only two teams entered, the Ameri- can team and the Caledonian team. The former was composed of Peter Buckley ‘(captain), M. Sullivan, Fred Schade, George rickwedel, John D. Barry, £. Schroder, John Jackson ana Thomas Nolan (an< chor). The Caledonians were: T. Car- roll, James McLennan, D. R. Campbell, D. Atkinson, J. McDonald, L. Chisholm, R. Campbell and A. McKay (anchor). Each team had about an” equal number of supporters. It was the best of three tugs. The Americans in the first tug had the advantage in the lay of the gmunfi and also in having the sun at their backs, and they also apa]ened to have the advantage in weight. When the pistol was fired each team pulled their best, neither trying to save their wind. The mark kept moving backward and forward amid the greatest excitement, till finally the Americans, slowly but surely, drew'it toward them til the limit was reached and they were the winners. The time was 137 minutes. No time was lost in starting the second tug, the positions of the teams being re- versed. The Caledonians at the start pulled to win, and in 30 seconds they had succeeded, amid a scene of the wildest ex- citement. The captains tossed for position for the final tug and the Americans won the choice. Buckley selected the end he had at the first tug and gloom fell upon the friends of the Caledonians. It was not without cause, as the Americans won in 45 of Emt" sn(',lenfes. wi:houe ;leceg;’ is not over seventy-seven feet—First prize §5, second prize 3, third prize $2. James Sexsmith, A.

Then she started the old tactics of beating down along the beach on short tacks close in_shore out of the flood tide. In the meantime the rest of the fleet, closely followed by the Edna, came down behind her. In fact the Edna stood down on this tack until she almost reached the ferry slips. The Harpoon, between whom and the Speedwell the race was supposed to lie, hugged Alcatraz Island and stood up on a Iong reach from the island. At this time the Harpoon was apparently out of the race. The fact that Eddie Howard was sailing the Speedwell seemed plain enough indi- cation to the onlookers that the new craft was going to win the race, but when the Harpoon came down on her long reach from the island, it looked as if her skipé)er and crew understood their business. She dropped behind the Speedwell on the leg, and great disappointment was manifested by all who witnessed the maneuver. Had the Harpoon fetched across the bows of the Speedwell it would have been a vic- bo?v, but Howard came about so prettily and so swiftly that the race was decided there and then. ‘When closeunder Black Point the Har- ?oon loomed up, a very close competitor or the first prize. From this point out the wind freshened, and it was nip and tug between the Speedwell and the Harpoon. The staysail of the Harpoon went by the board as she came about on the port tack, THE SPEEDWELL ROUNDING THE PRESIDIO SHOALS’ HARPOON.

The population of Amsterdam, exclndio%s the suburbs, is 437,900, including 80, Roman Catholics, 80,000 Germans and 3500 Portugnese Jews. It contains 35,000 houses, and almost all of them are built upon piles fourteen to twenty feet long. the first class, in which were included the big boats. Among them were the Edna, | the Dawn, the Speedwell, Harpoon and Thelma. In the second class, including boats | of the thirty - foot class were the | Freda, Naiad, Xara, Truant and the Wave. | There were twenty-seven boats entered in all, but when it came to the race only thir- teen boats ventured in the swim. t The first to go over the line in the small class was the Witch. Next came the Ceres, then followed the Mignon and ‘the Secret, bowling over the course with all sails set, and the Cupid in her wake. The Truant, a little bit late, in fact too late to have her time taken, was left far behind. The Freda went bowling over the line with all sails set and looking in every way | like a winner. Had she maintained her gait throughout as when passing the line no doubt she would have been a winner to the end, but when going off on the port | tack something happened to her that stopped her race down to the windward buoy. She tacked in close to shore and there had to give up the race, and the Truant went skimming down to the first leg as if she had not a competitor among her own kind. In the class of large boats, the Speedwell was the center of interest. She had not been tried, but the fact that Eddie Howard was at the wheel lent additional interest to the new craft. It was supposed that the Harpoon and the Thelma would cut the yi:ce in_the first class, but the fact that oward sailed the Speedwell left the re- sult open to_serious doubts, which had a degressing effect on betting on the race. 0oing down on the first firg the Harpoon hugged the shore. Being a much deeper boat than the others, it was feared that she would ground, and this was just exactly what she did. “She came under the lee of the old Selby smelting worksand 1t looked as if she was destined to lie ingloriously in the mud all day, but contrary to ex- pectation, she worked out on her jib, and at the time she came round the Speedwell was well in the lead. Closely following in her wake, tack and tack, came the Edna and the speedy Truant. It was remark- able the way in which Commodore Pew’s boat kept up with the big fellows. ‘When nearing up close upon the wind- ward buoy, the boys on the Truant saw the Speedwell was trying to pass to the starboard and they yelled in chorus, just in time for the new boat to slack her main sheet and pass the b\m¥ on the port hand. Just here the Speedwell won her race. If it had not been for Pew’s good fellows giviné her the right signal, she would have passed the buo{l on_ the starboard hand and would not have been in the race. This misunderstanding on the part of new craft 'was caused by her crew not having studied the rules of the race. The Speedwell rounded the buoy first with her gaff top- sails set and her spinnaker ready for use. The spinnaker was just out of the cabin by —————— NormING spurious is found in the Almighty Dollar (Cigar). - THE BUILDERS EXCHANGE, 18 POST STRHET. Charles M. Shortridge Esq.: My DEAR 812—1I want to thank you for myself and the association 1 represent for SAN FRANCISCO, Car.,, May 30, 1895, the command of her wheelman, but the crew did not getit set until she was well abreast of Alcatraz. But without it she could have kept her lead to Blossom Rock buoy. From there to the leeward stake- boat the wind was very light and baffling. 1t was down around the Jeeward stake- boat that the most sensational occurrence of the race took place. The breeze in the channel had been blowing in at least twelve knots an hour, and up to this_time it was a great day for the Corinthian Yacht Club. Rounding Blossom Rock buoy the wind died down to a standstill. The the grand work you and the CaLy have done in the interest of home manufacturers, You have set forth in unmistakable terms the facts and the needs of our home in- stitutions. Keep up the fight and you will.have the satisfaction of knowing what is the reward of the “good and faithful servant’’ of the people. The people of California are loyal to their State, and when they know the facts and understand why the great Eastern manufacturers are taking the bread away from thousands of mechanics’ families in our State they will call a halt. Take a single fact as an instance. A great Eastern iron-manufacturing com pany has offered to furnish all the manufactured iron and put it in place, thousands of tons of it, for the Ferry depot building for less than 3 cents a pound—a price that no man in California can meet—and the difference is simply in the price of labor. The great Eastern plants hire a majority of their workmen at $1 a day. We pay $2 to $3 50—as low as any man can support a family on. No wonder their workmen often strike. ‘What justice is there in a great corporation bidding for the work of a great State at a price that robs workmen? California is not niggardly, but is w illing to pay a fair living price for all its labor. The labor on that Ferry building will amount to more than $100,000. Shall it be expended in Pennsylvania, even if the State saves $30,000, by taking it out of the labor” ing men? No. Nota hundred men in the State will vote for that. The manufacturers of California will undertake to furnish the material as cheap; our manufacturers will give a bond to do as good work as any Eastern firm, and take a lower profit; but we will not ask our men to work for $1 a day. Now, Friend Shortridge, keep up the fight. We will stand by you as you have stood by us. Yours, for home industry, 0. E. Moozs, Secret was forging slowly ahead, with the ‘Witch on her quarter. When the wind died out the Secret put out her watersail, but with all sail set she could not make a jaunt to the forward. The Witch was right behind her, everything set, with her watersail out, but still lagging in the calm. Both yachts remained in this position until the big craft came up behind them. The Witch was the first to catch the wind. She sailed up with all her canvas bellied out, and it looked as if the Secret was out of the race. ) : With everything in favor of the little yachts the larger craft came up right in their wake. The pltenieat sight of the race was rounding the leeward stakeboat. The Thelma came jauntily up to the windward of the Edna. The new craft had blanketed the Edna which, however, shoved ahead and got away from the windward boat. The Truant was making the pace of the race around the stakeboat with the Secret right to her head. In came the Edna just narrowly escaping the Thelma around ‘the stake, completely shoving the Truant out. It looked like a foul from the judges’ tug- boat, butthose who knew what good racing was declared in favor of the Edna. The latter craft rounded the boat, making a short tack, and down for the Pre- sidio shoal ‘buoy. | The Speedwell, and the Speedwell went for the buoy with all sails set and in the best position of the race. The new boat now had everythin, her own way, but she missed the buoy an had to come about. Here was the Har- oon’s chance, and if she had not been ragging her staysail she might have come up and rounded the buoy and steered her- self right in for first place, but she aliowed the Speedwell to come about again and round the buoy and steer for home. As soon as the Speedwell came around the shoal buoy she set her spinnaker and spread the sail without a mishap and went for home with everything drawing. She simply walked across the starting line. The Truant, which started late enough to distEIa]ify her for the race, deserves con- siderable credit for the way in which she washandled. The Freda,had she stayed in the race, would have beaten her on_time allowance, but the poor Freda had Jonah Parker on board and it was impossible for her to run a race. Had the Truant and the Freda started together on time, the Freda would never have been heard from, for | Pew sailed the Truant excellently. Taken all in all the regatta was one of the most successful ever sailed on the bay. ‘While there might have been an absence of fancy sailing there was the cleverest ex- hibition of good sailor work which has ever been witnessed on the bay. The course was one which called for good sea- manship, demanding skillful windward work. The result of the race was as follows: == First class, the Speedwell won. Second class, the Truant. Third class, the Cupid, Fourth class, the Witch. As far as could be learned there was not a single protest against the decision of the judges, who were as follows: On the 37 and 30 foot classes, judge, W. A. Stringer; timers, W. A. Barlage, H. L. Jones. On the 20 and 25 foot class, C. W. Platt judge, ‘W. F. Stone timer. THE REGATTA POSTPONED, A Windy Sky and Sloppy Bay Spoil the Rowing Matches at E1 Campo. The grand rowing regatta ,which was to come off yesterday at E1 Campo, under the auspices of the South End Rowing Club, has been postponed, and the races will take place at Long Bridge next Sunday morn- ing at 11 o’clock. The strong wind and a sloppy bay yes- terday knocked all tne chances of making aquatic records out of the boats, and dis- cussions arose higher than the gale and sea between the crews. The South Enders were willing to risk a wetting and prove themselves rough-water boatmen, but the Dolphins insisted that the regatta should be postponed. There was much disap- pointment and not a little loud grumblin at the unsatisfactory condition of win and water. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. ALCAZAR THEATER. COME AND LAUGH TO-NIGHT ! A CORNER GROCERY!
