NHfRK SHALL THE nLOoDHn LIVE STOCK
on TEXAS BK ExHlBfrKD.
Inc citizens Of Fort Worth are aware
that short time since the people Of pal.
las proposed to go into the show business
on very extensive scale and have tor
themselves 4 gigantic fair, to be called
"Ihe Dallas State Fair II was started
with more than usual spirit for Dailas
enterprise, and the people Of the |
state saw Il was good thing and did |
agree to support the thing handsomely by |
sending their cxhibita 10 the front TO
show 70 the world how great are the re-
sources OF Texas.
The improvement In live stock being
more marked Of late years than at any
time since the hrst recorded animal
crossed the border, the stockmen OF the
state gave the Dallas fair the assurance
that there would be most thorough and
complete exhibit of all the merltorious
stock in the sta te. The stockmen con-
sldered the Dallas State fair as a grand
and beneficial institution, and capable OF
, lending great encouragement for further
. Improvement OF the principal interest Of
: the state.
a Now, howevea, the magnificent live.
y stock exhibit at Dallas is IN fair way to
/ be knocked on the head. As fair at
e Dallas, one might and could be made a
!. success. But II so happens that there
are TO be two fairs both calling for live
stock exhibits, with chance for both
being left.
An informal meeting was held yester,
q day at the Office OF The Texas Live Stock
Is Journal and several proposed
II exhibitors were present. II wa,
II suggested that an EFFORT shoulC
be made to influence the managers OF n,
numerous Dallas fairs TO have only on,
stock exhibit, and failing In this, that thi
VI exhibitors should meet ain and agree
Ing that two fairs, two premium lists, TIVE
lots of judges and two exhibits would b.
Injurious rather than beneficial to the liy
stock interests, the stock exhibitor
would decide to remain away
A committee composed OF
NJ Houts of Hereford ranch
Wise county, II, Il. Maddox OF Tarrant
and Phillip IL. Hale, editor % the TeXa
ed Live Stock Journal, was appointed to Wis
IS Dallas, AMI there learn II there is an
he possibility Of uniting the stock interest
under one flag, and the other exhibitor
sc and stockmen agreed TO abide by their d.
sr cision.
es At the meeting, and afterwards, whe
dy II was generally known what action ha
ID been taken, the suggestion was mac
OF that If the Dallas people could not agr'
and settle the matter with due regard 4
the original purpose, that Fort Worth,
the great live stock center Of Northel
MI Texas, should take the matter In haI
err and give the stock interests fair. Pro
of fers of money we're freely made, al
MS. several men OF standing
