THE SPRING PALACE.

weatherford Sun: As predicted in the Sun
with the half-fare railroad rates and pleasant
weather, very nearly the entire population OF
Waatherford and Parker county may be expected
te-yisit the Spring Palace. The local is crowded
Iev5ry rnoFning with visitors to the Palace while
many, TO avoid the jam on the morning train,
and to have more time to view the wonders Of
the grand Karpornma, take the regular evening
train. The verdict OF all those who have visited
the Palace thus far is unanimous that in concep-
ton, artistic decorations and tasteful ornaHen-
tations, it is inexpreszibly beautiful az whole,
a credit to the enterprise Of the citizens Of Fort
Worth and an honor to the intelligence, culture
and refinement OF the ladies, not only Of that
city. but of the ladies from all parts Of Texas,
whose skillful handiwerk in their respective ex-
hibits is the admiration of the thousands Of
visitors TO the Palace frem all parts Of the
United States. The Elgin band, which con-
tributes so much TO the pleasure of visitors,
never fails to come in for good portion OF their
praise. From present indications, with con-
tinued favorable weather, it is confidently as
serted that the Palace Will be grand success,
financially, benefit to the entire state, and the
browning success and prOwsss Of Fort Worth.

The Karporama of Texas.

Would it ever grow tiresome or stale?
Apparently it would not. AS the time for
closing draws on the desire to visit the en-
chanted Palace becomes more intense and more
general. and the tide of visitors swells and
su rges with increased turbulency, so that the
close far surpasses the opening g, which itself
was beyond the most sanguine expectations.
This is one of the best criterions of the artistic
success of the Texas Spring Palace that it is
best patronized by nearly communities. Form
stance Dallas-when the Palace was first thrown
open there was one solitary repre-
sentative from the rival city on
the spot. That representative was
lame negro, and he came in with halting
hesitatIng step as though uncertain whether he
would like the thing not. But he did go in
and was pleased. He went back home and told
his master and his immediate friends about 1t.
They came over to see and took back favorable
report, and then more people came over from
the Three Forks, until nowadays it looks like
ell Dallas is on a holiday taking in the Palace.
And it might be said right here that some of the
Dallas people who come over are making ar
rangements TO stay here.
So it is with other communities. A small del
egation comes up first TO spy out the exhibit
ton, and carrying home a good report. All
their neighbors and friends HE forth for the
