much greater quantities. If the world
does not know about the Spring Palace,
there is no virtue in printer ink.

bitors to come. Let the good work go
on.

poster for the Spring Palace has been re-
ceved. II it is not beauty, THE GA
ZETTE hopes never to have another sub

of the exterior decorations, of the Pal
ace, as it will appear when completed.

FORT WORTH, TEX, March II, 1890.
DEAR SIR-The manufacturers of Fort
Worth desire to add a new feature to the
Texas Spring Palace by making an ex-
hibt of goods manufactured in this state,
and the Palace management have
granted their consent, although not
within the scope and purposes of the
Palace, and agree to put up building,
provided we secure enough entries, at the
very reasonable charge to exhibitors of
only twenty five cents per square foot.
This is opened to Texas manufac-
turers only. Goods manufactured out
side of the state will not be admitted, as
the Palace is strictly a ''Texas enter-
prise. -
The manufacturers in this city desire
TO solicit the cooperation of Texas man.
ufacturers to make a very creditable dis
play. Will you kindly advise US If you

require? AS the time is short, will you
please advise us at your earliest conve-
nience, and Oblige, yours very truly,

turers will undoubtedly take hold.

A representative of THE GAZETTE was
a ccorded the privilege of visiting the !
Spring Palace yesterday, and making a
note of the changes and Improvements
being made. The first impression that
is made upon the visitor is the imm enslty |
of the building, and the seeming impossi- /
bility of decorating the immense struo-
ture in time for the opening
day, but the management give /
assurance that there need be no 1
uneasiness on that score. The adj |
ditions already erected make the |
building nearly 40 feet in length, |
with an extreme width OF one |
hundred and fifty feet. The band stand /
has been removed from the position it /
occupied last year and is now placed /
on the south side of the center of the I
building, and has been elevated and /
widened so as TO make 1t much more /
commodious aud visible from any part /
of the building. The exhibits will be /
confined to the rooms in the towers on |
the lower floor, and to space ten feet /
from the wall around the entire lower |
store, where shelves and tables win be /
placed to receive the articles. This |
will be enclosed By railing. leaving the |
entire lower floor for an auditorium.
This space will be seated for the comfort |
of visitors, and seats will also be ar
ranged around the building on the out
side.
The fountain will be greatly improved |
and beaueifed, and ornamented with |
living ferns and water plants, while a
huge live white swan, caught IN Tarrant |
county, will disport itself in the immense
