will add three establishments TO
her industries that Will be

without equals in Texas. The pork

DRIVING PARK AND FAIR.
The time has come in the history of
Fort Worth when her people are rich
enough TO establish a first-class gentle
men . driving park and fair IN or near the
city. number of active enterprislng
citizens like Martin Casey, Mayor Smith,
A. b. Smith, r. N. Graham, L. c.
Wall, Thomas Witten and r. E. Mad
dox are agitating the question of organ
iziug q company with capital of $780,
900 or more, to be known as the Fort
Worth gentlemen 8 driving park and fair
association. The pulse of number of
people was felt on the subject yester-
day and all expressed a willingness 10
take stock in the concern. The plan is
to purchase grounds three or four miles
from the heart of the city on some line of
railroad, so that i'll addition to the facili-
ties furnished by the electric car lines
excursion trains can be utilized. 1t is
also proposed to construct boulevard
eighty TO 100 feet from the city to the
grounds. The largest ard finest stables
and grand stands ere to be erected and
the track is to be superior to any in the
South. An experienced trainer is to be
employed by the association, aud
in the winter months all the
way from 500 to 1000 horses will
be at the grounds in training.
This is an outline of the plan of those
who have started this movement. 1t Is
proposed to have spring and fall meet
ings. At the fall meeting fine and fat
stock fair aud show will be conducted.
Fort Worth wants this institution, she
needs II to supplement her Spring Paluee
attraction in the spring months aud to
entertain her thousands of visitors in the
fall and winter. No city III Texas has
such facilities as this for the conduct of
such concern, but facilities must be
put to use to benefit place. II the pro-
jeet materialzes Fort Worth will have the
finest horses in the country winter here,
and TO care for these fine horses little
nrmy of men will become residents of
Fort Worth. Let the driving park be
secured and that at once. 1t will be
worth thousands to the city, aud will
afford rational amusement to many.
