Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-05-18

1.-THE Spring Palace viii never grow old, twas
the exclamation or a charming young lady from
East Texas. yesterday afternoon, as with parted
lips and bated breath she gazed upward and
around at the beautiful scene.
II could come here every day OF my life and
never lose the charm. When the music is silent
the songs OF the birds delight the ear with never
ending melody
judging from the increasing throngs of people
who crowd into the Palace each day and night,
the public is Of the same opinion as the enthusi-
astic young lady.
Instead Of dropping off CT interest and at
tendance rs the exhibition grows older, there Is
an unparalleled increase OF both.
The attendance yesterday afternoon was
greater than on the preceding evening, and that
or last evening still greater than during the al
teruoon.
From noon until midnight the alleys and
promenades were crowded with the multitudes
Of charmed strangers, Laughing, joking, COM
nenting and admlring. Elbows frequently got
into uncomfortable proximity to exposed RIBS
and other anatomical parts, but nobody noticed
such trivial things in the eager attention to mat
tiers OF so much more absorbing interest.
II anything in the world is calculated to de-
prive Q sufferer Of the consciousness of his mis-
sery II is the beautiful Texas Spring Palace.
On the principle of the faith cure, the contem-
plation of the sublime and beautiful prevents
the interposing OF matters OF sordld
worldly nature. The very atmosphere
of the Spring Palace IS rich with
health giving properties. The clear air
of the Texas praiTies IS waited through the
flower bedecked haugings of the Palace gather
ing richest perfumes and sweetest flavor, Till 1t
comes TO the WanQerer through the mystic mans
IS magical incense to encnanL and ensla!e,
The very air you breathe in the Texas Spring
Palace is fraught with sweetest charm, tascln2-
ting as most potent magical incantation. IL IS
fairyland where unhappy mortal forgets his
mundane existence.
VIII there come q cessation vf this influx of
people? Not till the Spring Palace exhibition
is over. This is an institution which gathers in
terest as it continues. The attendance will grow
larger with each day until the close, and when
that day comes there viii be many an aching
heart because o
Spring Palace are no more.
Where do the crowds come from? Is there no
end to the stream? And if not, will the Palace
accommodate everybody?
These are interesting questions, aud partly
admit of answer.
on every train that reaches the city come hun
dreds OF visitors, many from near By cities and
rural districts, many from afar, attracted hither
by the karporama OF Texas, and the
abroad is il by the breezes that ripple through
the building or the myriads of birds that soiourn
naturally in its caves for time. Many of these
strangers, especially those from adjacent parts,
return home Immediately after inspect
ing the wonderful Palace; bat many
more, particularly those from abroad, remain IN
the city from day to day, whiting the exhibition
day and night, and taking IN the other numer-
Gus sights of the most rapidly growing and pro-
gressive city in the United States.
There will he room at the Palace for all who
visit it. During the evenings there occur some
thing OF a crush in some Of the narrower alleys,
but the interior OF the building is SO arranged
that II is not necessary for the promenaders TO
get into crowded passage ways, for there is al
ways another way around, During the after
noon great many of the visitors scatter over the
grounds of the Palace, viewing the cyclorama,
the animal exhibition which includes samples f
Texas reptiles of all varieties well as wild
animals and birds, the machinery exhibits. the
refreshment booths and side shows which cover
about half mile OF space directly in trout OF
the Palace and extending along the main drive
between the eastern and western entrances.
And the crowds engaged in viewing these things
Feiieve the main building of some of its crush
uar -
visitors, and the outside is as interesting the
inside.
