The time for the drawing of this as
ISOLATION, the 3lsI of March, draws
near, and those. who desire to avail
themselves ofthe opportunity to secure
a fortune for small risk have not
much time to delay. The object of the
association is n most meritorious one,
ard we have no doubt but what the en-
tire affair will be managed and con-
Quoted upon strictly honorable and
legitimate basis. The gentlemen mt
the head of the affair are well known
for their business and personal integ-
ritz, while the entire affair is endorsed
by the most responsible men of Den
ison. The First National bank of Den
ison is the depository for all moneys
received, and those who are fortunate
enough to hold the lucky ticket can
rely upon receiving their prizes. The
tickets are only one dollar each, and
msy be had upon application to ~. Il.

The Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway
has become 50 well known 10 the people of
Texas, as one of the finest and most COM
Portable roads on the continent 10 travel on,
that it seems almost unnecessary that we
should say ought in its praise. Yet we can e
not over get back from IA trip over this line
without saying something in praise of the
management, who always seem TO be striv-
ing to make their patrons comfortable while
travelling over their road. The track is al
ways in the best possible condition, and
trains are at all times run AT uniform speed.

cars accompany all through passenger trains,
and if you are going north or east, by max
ing your wants known, you can go either via
Hannibakor st. Louis. And for Kansas
City, DENVER, California or any Of the north
western stats or territories, ii is much the
best route We have f:om Texas. Their dim
ing stations nd hours for meals are all that
a traveller coid wish for, and in fact there
seems to be nothing left undone TO render a
trip over this line pleasant. Gsiuu

General Jerome b. Robertson, super
intendent of the immigration bureau:
AUSTIN, Texas, March 10, 1915.
To the Editor Of the Dallas Herald:
In answer to the many inquiries,
will you please state that the Central

cursion that starts from Denison on

my in structions from the Central rad
are to confine the delegates only to
those counties lying directly on the
mpin trunk, and its Austin and Waco
branches.
If any of the adjacent counties desire
to send delegates their application
must he made direct to the general pas
senger agent at Houston.
Respectfully,
J. Il. ROBERTSON,

Saturday night last, Mr.. 5. II. Shock
was passenger on the train, and
while at supper, his valise and over
coat were taken from the train, togeth-

ed to lie over Mt Terrell, and endeavor
to obtain his properly. After c"usid-

AN EXCITING RACE.
The City Of Havana Passes the Dispatch.

Sunday afternoon as the steamship City OF
Havana headed around on her way down the
river on her passage to Mexico, the swift Uni
ted States steamer Dispatch passed down with
bunting flying just ahead Of her, going at
high rate of speed. In few minutes the
City CT Havana was fairly under Roadway in
full chase. Tho excitement Of those on the
levee was intense over the contest, and they
watched them until the struggling flyers were
out of sight around the lower bend.
Considerable curiosity was felt here about
which would reach Pilot Town the first, and
this has been gratided by a dispatch stating
the City of Havana outstripped her competi-
tor twenty-five miles below tho city, and
passed her CALAMITY, taking the lead and keep
ing it to the bar. Pilot Town was reached in
the remarkable time OF five hours and thirty
minutes after leaving her wharf, by the Ha-
vans. We must. congratulate the New York,
Mexican and Havana Steamship Line in their
possession of such a noble craft. May she
long ply the waters.

THE RACES.

Now that we are having q taste OF genuine
spring weather, the Louisiana jockey Club
have good cause for congratulating themselves
at the postponement until Saturday next.
With the brisk winds now blowing and the
daily food of sunshine pouring down upon the
turf, it is assured that the course will be in
condition fit for Fellowcrait or Flying
Childers. The horses too are feeling this
change from the damp and rainy weather OF
last week, and are taking kindly to their
work. They have now an opportunity to work
up to a fine condition: and will probably
come out on the stretch looking like silk.
At the present writing all are in prime or
der, and with the rest OF this week to train IN
they will be down to a pound.
Everything has been done to make the
meeting grand one, and the Directors OF the
jockey Club have left nothing to be wished
for. The Grand Stand, q model in its style,
is as neat as possible, the avenues leading to
the track in good order and the field as bril-
liant in its spring verdure as some ideal pic
ture of tropical scenery. The facilities OF
access to the course are now ample TOR the
crowds expected, for besides the shell road
for carriages, the Dauphine street and Bayou
Road lines of cars carry visitors to the very
gates. Let the ladies prepare their spring
toilettes for Saturday.
