EIGHTH DAY
Of the Dallas State Fair and EXPOSE
tlOn.

over the success of their Fair ant
Exposition. The attendance last wcel
averaged from the opening day Tues
day. including Saturday 10000 peo
pie. Considering that only few
years ago Dallas contained only few
hundred people and sparscly settled
country around it, with but few vii.
lagos within reasonable distance, this
attendance is simply incomprehensible
to the Old-timer. The character OF
the people is something to wonder at.
"A few years ago halt dezen cow
boys or DULLES, with their six-shootcrs
and knives, would have taken pos
session of the assembly and run the
affair to suit themselves, and probably
several shooting scrapes and murders
would have occurred. Contrast such
a state of things with the 10000 to
$4,000 people assembled on these
grounds, without even fist fight or
an attempt to bully any one. No as
semblage in any State in the Union
could surpass it in character. Instead
of the bully there is the quiet, deter
mined gentleman at the helm. and i'm
place OF the rough, ill-bred rowdy is
the well~dressed, well-bred man. who
is gentlemad ann acts the part of
gentleman. All this has come about
by the rapid progress made in build
ing up and bringing into our midst
men OF culture and education, men of
wide experience, knowledge of bust
ness, laith in the future of this great
state. Rapid has been the growth, and
wonderful the success; great schemes
nave been evolved and performed, but
none greater than achieved i'm the
grand success of the Dalai State Fair
and Exposition. Men are here from
all over the country, east, west north
and south, and it is the universal ac-
cam that Texas is something beyond
their inauguration or conception.
oallas has done for the state great
things, but none greater than this and
the result will be told in the near fu-
lure, and the men who conceived and
executed will receive their reward.
The seventh day of this Fair onened
somewhat cloudy with indications of
ram, put by 10 o'clock it was clear and
warm, and the people began to assem-
bic, not in such numbers as on the
mornings of the days of last week.
This being election day throughout
the state, visitors from abroad are NOT
numerous, though the crowd is large
enough TO beinteresting. To-morrow
VIII be big day; in fact the attend |
