Tuesday was occupied by business meet
ings morning and afternoon, and in the
evening banquet was enjoyed by the
association at the Delmonico. After the
tables were cleared, various responses to
toasts were made. On behalf of the city
council, the mayor and Major John Henry
Brown made few remarks which closed the
festivities.
On Wednesday morning the business of
the association was closed and the afternoon
was spent in drive around the city. We
do not pretend to give any idea of the bust
ness transacted by the association as is would
make our report too voluminous. Suffice it
to say more real business was transacted by
the association than at any previous meet
ing. The new officers elected were w. L.
Hall, Dallas Herald, president; E. G.
Davis. Greenville Herald, II. v. Hamilton,
Tyler Democrat and J. G. Booth, Decatur
Tribune, vice-presidents @. E. Gilbert
Abilene Reporter, secretary, and L. D.
Lillard, Fairfield Recorder, treasurer.
Galveston was chosen as thenext place of
me ting.
The headquarters of the convention were
at the opera house where a room was set
apart spe> ially.for their use. Refreshments
were at hand at all times. The street oars
were placed free at the disposal of members.
A majority of the members accepted the
proffered excursion of the H. & T. G. rail
way, and left at o'clock P. NJ. on Wednes-
day for Houston. We cannot close this
meager report of the meeting without a
tribute to the ladies of our city who helped
in SO many ways to rendeNthe visit of our
guests among us pleasant, and especially for
the decoration of the hall in which the
meetings were held and the floral offerings,
Dallas Is proud to have had this represen-
tative body among us, and, if they enjoyed
their stay as much as we did their presence,
we are content.
