TEXAS STATE FAIR AND DALLAS EXPOSE
TON.
The association is in receipt of sug-
eestion from Confederate veteran, that
day be set apart during the fair for
reunion of old Southern soldiers, and
that they be addressed upon this occasion
by some of their old commanders. The
writer further suggests that this bring
ing together of the old gallantry of the
South would be made all the more inter-
esting il each veteran were required to
wear a Distinguishing badge, showing
his old company and regiment. In this
way cOmrade would recognize comrade
who perhaps under no other cirCum-
stances would meet again, and acquaint-
ances lapsed for quarter of a century
would be happily renewed. The SUCCESS
ton Is without doubt practical and
good one, and the association have the
matter well under adv.Jement.
President Armstrong q business Office,
on Commerce street, is deluged with cor
respondence and kilograms. Mr.. Secre-
tary Cour is absent from home attending
the state convention now being held i'll
San Antonio, and putting in all the good
ticks possible for the Dallas institution,
of which the state of Texas is justly
proud. Although under ordinary cir
cumstances q large proportion of the
correspondence reaches the president di-
rect, yet the bulk of II of course goes to
the secretary office, and now, during
81 = nI,-
is piled together in Mr.. Armstrong
Office to be disposed of by himself and
staff, it would be indeed an eye-opener
to most people 20 observe the magnitude
of the work in this the clerical depart
ment.
Communications have been received
from two of the largest and most intlu-
entail of horse breeders and importers
in the country, to the eff
ect that they will be on hand
with extensive shows. Mr.. George e.
Brown of Aurora, Ill.,, who makes q
specially of Cleveland bay and English
shire horses and Exmoor ponies, writes
that he Will leave for Texas about the
first OF October. Mr.. Jesse Harris of
Fort Collins, Col. who has been having
considerable correspondence with the as
sociRtion with regard to bis exhibit, now
telegraphs that be will bring along TWEEN
ty handsome specimens of the equine
race, and requests the ommittee to re-
serve him that number of stalls.
The progress that has been made by
the Dallas choral union has been a sur
price to its friend Like all other insti-
buttons that have the virtue OF merit, it
soon attracted the attention of the fair
authorities, and it was not long before
arrangements were made for the union
TO give a concert on some night during
the fair in the new music hall now being
erected. The union will have for an
orchestra the band-Innes celebrated
which has been engaged by the associa-
ton TO perform throughout the whole
time of the exposition. "Faith Trium-
phant'' is the cautata that has been Sc
lected for rendition on the occasion of
this concert, and the principal solo parts
Will be taken by the professional soloists
that will accompany the band. BIZ
weekly practices of the choral union are
being held, and the interest and atten-
ton shown by the working members is
remarkable, considering the heated term
we are now passing through. Professor
Howie, the conductor, is deservedly pop
ular, and is u conductor OF considerable
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of limiting tbs
number of the Dallas contingent,
and this will probably be done at an
early date. In the meantime the num-
bers are rapidly swelling, and all who
desire to become members should make
early application to the secretary, Mr..
Cornett. Parties ut a distance through
out the ate will be supplied with copies
OF the cantata gratuitously at the expense
of the Far ASSOCIATION, on their under
taking TO carefully study the music and
do their best to be present at one prelim-
mary rehearsal and the grand concert.
OF course some vocal ability is necessary.
A chorus of 500 voices Is looked for.
