Special TO the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX Jan. l9.-Mr. c. a.
Corr, secretary of the Dallas fair, said
to THE GAZETTE man to-day: 1--WE
have already commenced work for the
fair of 1889. In former years we did not
start so early, and we found that we we're
not quite ready when the day for open
ing the gates came. The dates oontem-
plated at present are October ID to p,
inclusive Some Of the directors think
il little late, because of the possibility
OF late crops, ana furthermore
because it Is liable to rain
These directors suggested November TO
the 18th as the time. 1t is not absolutely
certain that the date viii not yet be
changed We shortened the duration of
this years iair because it was demon
strated last fan that three weeks is too
long q fine. The success OF the fair de-
ponds largely on keeping interest unflag-
giug throughout the time it lasts. One
plan is 60 hold only thirteen days and
make those days as interesting TO
the public as possible. II Is
better to have the people wish the fair 20
last a few days longer than 10 hold
long term and have them tired Of it.
''Our intention Is 20 enlarge the scope
Of the fair as much Us possible We want
to impress the peTmauency of the insti-
tuition upon the people and have their in
tcrcst awakened in il, 50 that the work
of the future win be easier.
IL other words, we want the
people Of Texas to feel that
they are co-partners with us in the enter
prise and aid las accordingly. You may
say that we wish your Texas Spring Pal
ace much success. Ii Is a good idea and
vii! result in mach good Dallas will
contribute largely to its attractiveness
and we want Fort Worth to return the
compliment by having numerous and nice
exhibits at our fair.
