There is increased activity in real es-
tate dealings. yesterday showing a goud
list of recorded transfers, while several
sales which have been made in the last
few days are not yet on record. There
are number of strangers In Fort Worth
who come TO look ut the city with view
of investing IN realty. The heavy
rain OF yesterday kept people In
doors to very great ex-
tent, but agents had customers in
their offices, telling them Of the atirac-
lions of properties OH their books. The
sale of Feild's Hillside Tradition was
made TO syndicate of ten men. who
hope to have the Fort Worth and Albu-
querque (if buIlD put its depot on the
land. The Fort " orth aud Albuquerque
had at one time bought this land, paying
$1,000 OF the purchase money, but
the balance never beins paid,
the $1,000 was forfeited. The
land runs from West BelkuaD street to
the river. Tbs price paid was about
$1,000 per acre and Is cousid cred cheap at
the price paid, S42 900.

Mr.. L. E. FOsdick, who has worked so
hard to bring the cotton mill project to
from Mr.. Taylor, the Manlfestrr gentle
man wA will b lid ~ mill, saying
he will in Fort worth to-day
or TO- morrd with thsaaflaus of the mill
buildings. IN urges tkat work be pushed

pnyin&hp. Present indications are that
Fort Worth will have tirst-class cotton

THE FAIR AND DRIVING PARK.
The weather was 81 Indictment yester-
day the committee having in hand the
fair and driving park enterprise thought
it best not to go out, but If to-
day is fair they will go to
work. OF course the plans of the
projectors have not yet been fully ma
tured, but it is about settled to have o
fine and fat stock exhibit and spring
races some time in April or May, by
which time the buildings and grand stand
could be completed. A fair on grand
scale could be given next fall. No one
can doubt the benefits TO accrue TO Fort
Worth by establishing such an institution
in this city. Spring Palace or an ex-
position can easily be managed in con-
nection with the fair if desired.
THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
AS the time draws near for bids to be
opened at Washington for q site for the
Fort Worth government building interest
in the matter increases, AMI everyone Is
on the qui we II regard to it. Judg-
ing from what is said, q number of
locations have been offered. After the
bids are opened it is probable that an
agent of the treasury department will
come to Fort Worth 10 view the differ
ent sites for which bids have been put in.
Not much, il anything, can be done Oh
the building until early in 1891.
