TERPsICHoREAN PLEASURES
Again was the air made redolent with
music, and as the sweet symphony tloated
out through the branches of the trees the
devotees of Terpsichore swarmed the plat
form, and gallant men and lovely women
were soon whirling in the mazes of the
waltz, keeping time to the enlivening
music. Right here we will drop the re-
mark that the young ladies OF Kaufman are
graceful, and glide through all the dane, .
IN style that shows they are not at ali be-
hind their sisters in the larger cities.
1t is estimated that there were some 4 900
people present on the grounds, and they
were composed of the better class of people.
The festivities of the day were kept up
with spirit until near shutdown, when the
people went their ways with light hearts,
carrying with them sweet remembrances of
day so pleasantly spent.

other excursions this year, both in the large
number present and the quantum OF fun

the race for business and wealth.
Surrounded by beautiful and bountiful
country as fertile as any the sun shines
upon, It is but reasonable to expect in the
| immediate future from Kaufman the most
encouraging and even astonishing returns
To our neighbor we extend not only the
hand of fellowship, but wish for her the
brightest and most opportune of fortunes
1t is impossible to say too much of the ap-
pearance and conduct Of the Queen City
Guards themselves. The Old Guard of Ma
poleon did not display more discipline and
act with more decorum than did the
Guards. They reflected credit both upon
themselves and the city of Dallas, and II il
superfluous to say that the Queen City
Guards excursion was the hit Of the season
