In the CITY park. at Shady View or az the
fair grounds such entertainment couIu oe
had All cities of any Importance are Sc
curing or have long since possessed these
deligbtful resorts. New Orleans has her
West End and Spanish Fort parks, ana
thousands of people, young ana old, 20 ouI
to these places and enjoy the purer breezes,
away from the crowded, heated city, and
stroll about the grounds in the shades OF
evening or in the delicious moonlight. IN
Galveston. the Garten Verein and the Pa
vilion are the resorts where the town each
afternoon empties its population, ana
friends meet to exchange greetings ana
courtesies. These are but instances OF
what prevails all over the country. Why
Dallas. with no seaside attractions, with
moor and but very few and monotonous
carriage drives, should not bestir herself TO
attain some places of resort with features
similar to those above indicated. we fail 10
comprehend. The subject is worthy at,
tention, and the sooner the enterprise shall
he inaugurated the better. The street car
companies, the livery stables and others are
likewise deeply interested, and should AID
the citizens in the proposed efforts.
The CITY of Austin has an Art Loan ssso-
citation and an art gallery. Here the WORKS
OF amateur genius are exhibited 10 the pup,
lie. and the general taste for the beautiful
is much enhanced, aud young talent
is inspired to bring forth similar produc-
tions. This city has now attained TO sucn
size and cultured population that an art
gallery should pay here. We have
schools of music, OF dancing, as
well as for some Of the others OF the beaux
ats. but we have no school of design, OF
nainting. of drawing, of elocution etc.
Numbers of our young ladies who nave
latterly completed their collegiate courses,
and others who have sometime since done
so. could find excellent employment Tor
their time and abilities, and facilities ior
remunerative accomplishments as well, by
faithful study aud instruction In the hnes
now referred to. The young men could be
taught true methods Of readisg, and young
lawyers trained in oratorical improvement:
Will some one start the move that must
certainly develop into q fine success under
practical and iudicious management.
