A CHANCE FOR A RrpurAr,oN

A week ago We called attention to the
fact that the time was rapidly approaching
when the citizens should bestir themselves
in making preparations for the reception
and entertainment in May next, in this
city, OF the visitors to and participants in
the S@ngerfest and State Press Association
meetings. We have been gratifed to note
since then active measures Of one kind and
another looking to the end mentioned, and
we trust that the efforts will DO continued
up to the time without abatement Of inter-
est, so that the Smngeriest people and ed.
itors may go home from Dallas with the
conviction that their respective meetings
here were among the plea,antest and most
successful ever held by them. Our special

contained the cheering news that the Stock.

tation extended TO them to hold their an

having recognized this fact aud honored

Ii we do less for them in their reception
and entertainment than they have done for
us in selecting our city as the best place of
meeting and thus throw hundreds
and thousands of dollars to us to say moth
ing of the advertisement given us, we need
not expect ever to see Dallas again selected
for such purposes. The Stockmen's con.
yention, for instance, at Fort Worth this
week was composed of men who represent
one of the creates and wealthiest interests
in Texas, representative, progressive. lib
eral men who were worth to our neighbor,
the Fort, during even their short stay both
in the money they spent. the friendships
made, the advertising they give the city
and the results TO grow out Of
the meetings. thousands of dollars. 1t was
indeed one of the big gatherings OF the year,
and certainly the event of the year TO Fort
Worth. We are gratifed that our neighbor
entertained these guests so admirably, but
we want Dallas next year to surpass her in
the reception which she shall extend to
them. 1t is rather early yet to refer TO the
matter, but we want our citizens to recog-
nize what an opportunity they will have in
these meetings TO make reputation for the
city, both for push, enterprise, extensive

Bile to take an active interest in whatever is
calculated to build up Dallas. Unless these

be made in all such cases on grand scale,

be many, when it will be required
