and foolishuess, as some in their stiff
Observation-Disclosures may designate it,
! inasmuch as it undoubtedly gives inno-
cent pleasure to youth, and renew:
| pleasant memories in the minds of some
of more mature age.
The signs of the times are that the
| Texas state fair and Dallas exposition
will this year far outstrip any Of Its pre-
ceding triumphs, for on all hands we
hear of increased exhibits and fuller and
| more important entries.
a Texas inventor writes from Jones'
| boro, Coryell county. requesting con-
siderable space for machinery, which he
| will submit for the inspection of the
| public for the first time at our fair in
| October, and in which machinery he
states the whole of Texas must be con-
siderably interested.
Lovers of the hair breadth or dreadful
will hear with qualification that the as
ISOLATION has entered into negotiations
with the "great and only'' Signor
Roberto to be present with his extensive
| apparatus. This public character makes
a specially of diving from the top OF a
pyramid shaped tower $50 feet in height
into a net below, placed not far from the
| ground. II is among the awfullest of
the awfuls to witness, and those who are
! greedy for excitement will doubtless be
satisfied for time with this exhibition.
| The Hon. 10 Abbott, in an inter esting
letter from Washington addressed to
President Armstrong, giving the names
! of the committee he has appointed to Sc
lect the ten young ladies from his district
to act as maids of honor and reception
committee at the grand ball, states that
If congress adjourns in time he will GER
tainly be with US during the exposition.
Communications from the rest of the
congressman to the same effect are being
received, and the list of appointees IS
nearly complete, while the list of young
men-three from each dIstrict-who are
to be appointed the escort of these young
ladies, and are also to take part in the
equestrian games, is reaching gratifying
proportions.
Secretary Cour is back at his post
again, busily engaged in subduing to
some extent the mass of business that
had accumulated during his absence.
Mr.. J. K. Ross of Moberly, Mo-, Is
the proprietor of an extensive and cos tly
cyclorama, which has been opened to the
public with much success at va riOus
points throughout the country. The as
sociation desires to secure this attrac-
ton, but the Georgia state fair taking
place on the same date as our own, and
also desiring the cyclorama, the proprie-
tor finds himself in demand, and quite q
competition is going on for a securance
OF this item for the programme. 1t Is
pretty certain, however, that If anything
like reasonable terms will bring it here,
here it will come.
A well-known breeder and runner of
race horses yesterday sent in his entries
and order for stalls-for the great Texas
derby-for which entries have now COM
menced, and q representative of the as
ISOLATION who is in the North in the in
terest of the fair writes that there will
certainly be more horses here this fall
and of better class-than ever before.
Well, we knew this before, because we
had been noticing the entries and stall
orders lately, but verification is always
comforting, even to a newspaper man.
The little town of Wallis, in Austin
county, has genius of its own in the
person of Mr.. George Sibley, who has
developed to quite an extent the art of
wood carving. Wallis, much to its credit
insists upon particularly handsome
piece of work of this artist 's-s clock
case-beiug exhibited, and exhibited it
will therefore be.
The Dallas portrait artists must look
to their laurels, for competitors from
other parts are notifying the committee
of their determination to be on hand.
A drop in at the practice of the Choral
union on Thursday evening elected the
fact that there was still further in
crease in membership, that the singing
was improving at every practice, and
that Conductor HOWE and the officers
generally were feeling good all round.
Another batch OF copies of the cantata
have been ordered from the North, and
Conductor Howie wishes it notified that
the officers OF the union are standing by
to promptly answer all queries from
musical people throughout the state with
regard to admission TO membership.
Altos are in demand.
The ten counties associated together
under the name of the Pecan Colorado
CoDcho country notify the association
through Mr.. C. o. Harris of Ballinger
that they will want two and perhaps
three sections of space in exposition hall,
wherein to display their products.
Hurrah for Texas. If there be a man
inclined to doubt her resources and
natural wealth let that same man attend
the Texas state fair and Dallas exposition
in October next, and If his doubts are
not then removed, why, perhaps he had
better emfgrgte, for of a surety it must
be that the glorious climate does not
agree with his particular liver.
