FAIR NOTES.

AS the time of opening the third
great fair grows shorter, the work in
creases and the daily mail becomes
heavier. This means that the heavy
flow of applications for privileges and
spaces has not abated.
Joseph Landa, the we'll Known mill
owner of New Braunfels, has made
application for space for fine exhibit
OF meal and flour. He will erect an
oven in the place and distribute hot
biscuits as fast as they are turned
out.
The visiting newspa per man is the
city's greatest friend. He imme-
diately admires the town and an
nounces his admiration through his
columns, and San Antonio gains just
so much gratis advertisement. The
Fair management has taken into con-
sideration this point and for the ser
vice that the state press has so far
rendered the Fair, 1t has literally dis
tributed complimentary tickets and
invitations to the profession. A large
number of newspaper men have al
ready signified their intention Of at
tending the exposition and no doubt
a large number of them will enter the
contest for the fine silver pitcher
which Mr.. Frank Johnson, of the
Johnson & Co, printing house of this
city, will give for the best write up of
the exposition, by outside newspaper
men

League Meeting.

The Republican league had a well
attended meeting last night. Ten
new members were admitted. All
the members were requested to assist
in entertaining and looking after the
visitors during the coming Republi-
can State convention. The commit
tee reported as having secured a full
band of seventeen pieces for three
days, and were also instructed to Sc
cure an extra band for the night of
the third. The decoration committee
reported good progress, having secur-
ed bunting and flags and number of
fine pictures of republican heroes to
ornament the hall with.
Letters were read from number of
prominent republicans in the state
saying they were coming in large del
egations.
There will be banquet on the
night of the 4th tor members of the
club and visiting guests at Mission
garden. Tickets of admission to be
had of the committee.
The members of the club will use
every effort to entertain our visitors
and cordially invite the cooperation
of our citizens generally. They will
not allow the rumpus between q few
individuals to interfere with their
duty as citizens of San Antonio. The
republican party should not be
blamed and the good name of the city
for hospitality be made to suffer be-
cause few office-holders and office
hunters are trying to scratch out each
others eyes.

NEW YORK, August "a.
DEAR LIGHT:
Today Oeing Sunday, and as have
not much to 10, I drop you these few
lines. The first thing 1 wish to tell
you is that it is terrible cold here and
| am without overcoat, hence this let
ter. for L have to stay indoors, and Of
course want something to pass away
the time. Yesterday witnessed the
grandest sight in New York harbor 1
have ever seen. The funeral process
sion of Mr.. Ericsson, the builder of
the Monitor. 1t was a great naval
display. The following new war
ships were in line: the Baltimore,
the Dispatch, the Nantucket, the Dol
phin, Kearsarge, Pensacola, En- ter
prise, Chicago, Alabama, Yorktown,
etc.
1t looked to me like Uncle Sam
would be pretty soon ready to talk
and be heard among other nations
who pretend to have great naval
army. 1 tell you the sight was
grand. You no doubt have heard of
the great strike on the New York
Central and Harrisburg railroad.
Well, hope it will be over soon, as
my ticket is over that line, and ex-
pect to get away from here shortly.
Everything very orderly round
depots; l was there last evening; lots
of police.
pretty near forgot the most i'm
portant part of this letter. Please
inform the ladies of San Antonio that
bought the grardest line of millinery
and Ladies Trimming Goods, Infants
outfits, etc ever shown in San An
tonic. My Pattern Hats are direct i'm
portations from Paris and are marvels
of beauty. 1 shall he home soon and
tell you of the fine time I had while
here. Remember me to them.
Yours Truly,
BEN MoKE.
