THERE will undoubtedly be such a crowd
in Dallas to-day as has never been wit
messed on our streets heretofore, it being
the grand day of the smngerfest, when the
street parade and picnic take place. Great
&e should be exercised by the officers,
marshals and citizens generally to see that
such order is preserved not only to insure
success in every particular, but to prevent
the happening Of accidents so naturally 10
DO expected on such occasions. All fast or
reckless riding or driving should be stopped
at once, and the streets and sidewalks
should DO kept clear Of distractions of every
character. BY proper efforts the festivities
to-day may be made all that has been pre-
dicted for them, but want of adequate
care and concert Of action and purpose be-
tween officials, citizens and visitors, will
Only produce confusion aud failure.
