Cotulla Ledger: The papers and
people Of San Antonio were greatly
disheartened over the rainy weather
during the fair, but it was fortunate
thing for San Antonio. If there had
been fine weather that city could not
have accommodated the crowd that
would have fiocked there. AS it was,
a great many remained at home on ae-
count of bad weather and then there
was not hotel accommodation for the
visitors. Had great crowd of people
gone there and failed to get rooms,
they would have cursed San Antonio
for every thing and never gone there
to another. 1t is well enough that
things turned out as they did, for the
directors of the next fair will see
about hotel accommodation in ample
time.
