Notes and Personals

FoRT WORTH, July A. Special. i
II has already been stated In Tx
HERALD there was considerable dis
satisfaction among the committeeman
themselves, about the first location
selected for the Confederate reunion To
DO held here the 9Th of August, and
now after careful survey and review
OF the country around the city, q place
has been selected, which IL IL believed
Ia the most desirable that could have
been found and seems TO DO universal
ly pronounced a good selection. The
grounds are on the west side OF the
Clear Fork, about $50 yards below the
Texas IL Pacific Railroad bridge and
distant about two miles from this city.
At this place there are about
20 acres Of splendid native forest
trees with vide, leafy boughs, so that
an abundance of shade Will be fur
nished. A force of hands Is at work
clearing away the underbrush and
doing other necessary work, so that
tho grounds will be in beautiful condi-
ton when the day for the reunion ar
rives. The grounds can be reached by
special trains on the Texas q Pacific
Railroad, which will be run during
Luo IOuhlOUS anu Wy puIAiukob iioAh
this city, the road leading to Weather
ford passing Immediately by the
GROUNDS. Many distinguished ex-
Confederates from othor States are ex-
pected here during the reunion, and
the gentlemen in this city having the
affair in charge are using their utmost
efforts to make the affair success.
THAT FOURTH OF JULY AGAIN.
For some time past the city papers
have fairly teemed with cards with
reference to the disposition of the
money tsken In at the gate OF the
Rosedale Pavilion on the the occasion
of the recent celebration ofthe Fourth.
At first tho impression was that the
Catholic Church was the beneficiary,
hut Father Guyot came out IN card
and denied that such was the case.
Then the Rosedals Street Railroad
Company, through one of its officers,
Mr.. Theodore Vogel, saw fit to deny
that " ever received q cent OF the
money. 1t seemed about as difficult
to find out what became of the money
as il is usually to ascertain "who
struck Billy Patterson" The matter
has at last been settled and the public
can now rest easy. Mr.. w. Il. Magin-
mis- is out in a card
in this evenings Mail, in
which he says he has $50 that he is
ready TO turn over to almost anyone
who will call and get IT. 1t seems to
be sort of biood-money, as no one is
over anxious for it. The fact is, it was
generally understood that no admis-
sion fee would be charged at the cele.
bration of our natal day, and after a
gate fee was extorted the dissatisfac-
ton was so general and the criticisms
so severe that it no doubt Is very
sore subject to those who had the al
fair in charge. 1t is suggested that it
would be good idea for the commit.
tee to turn the amount over to the
finance committee of the Confederate
reunion, since no one else seems to
want 1t. 70 $50.
