The city's guests from Kansas City are
having big time in the metropolis. The
banquet ct the Grand Windsor last night
was an affair that will be long remem-
bered by the assembled guests. During
this forenoon the various members of the
party went as they saw fit and took in
the town. Sh rtly after noon the entire
party were escorted to Oak Cliff, where
Il sumptuous lunch was served at the
Park hotel. Carriages were then taken
and the visitors were driven and shown
the wonderful growth Of Dallas. The
day was pleasantly spent and the visitors
were made to feel that their presence
WIGS appreciated. Tonight the excur-
siouists departed from our city, and the
wish of the people of Dallas is that the
time will not be far distant when they
can again be s.mine host'' to this same
party.
