Let Us Have The Fair.

The following encouraging letter to
the Texas Stockman and Farmer from a
prominent cattleman of Pearsall, goes to
show how the proposed fair and agricul-
tural ass ociation in San Antonio is re-
ceived outside:
There are two things in your issue of
this week | would like to see In capitals
next week. They are: Let us have
fair at San Antonio; and, there is too
much daylight under that horse for a
good sire. Why, yes, let us have good,
honest agricultural and live stock exhi-
bitioD. free from horse racing, only al
lowing all classes of horses to be fully
shown at their best and proper gaits,
and then we could point out TO our breed
ers In all classes of stock the animals
that have too much daylight under them
TO be good sires, or dams either. Start
the fair on a good, square basis, and it
will grow and increase year by year
beautifully. And the sooner the start is
made so much the better; only don't try
to do too much ar first, and run the
thing into the ground. Let it grow on
its merits, and naturally.
Respectfully yours,
EXPERIENCE.
