DALLAS, TEX, Oct. THE especial
days" to be dedicated by the fair manage
ment will be made public in q couple of
days, along with the names of all celebrated
race horses that will attend the fair this
year. Horsemen from all over the United
States are making inquiries about the
races, and the indications are that this
feature will draw the largest crowd OF
turfmen ever congregated in the South
west. The $4,000 in purses offered by the
association, in addition to the many purses
ION the side" has aroused a greater inter-
est among horsemen than can well be
imagined. The race course now has two OF
the best tracks to be found in the Union,
while the new stables for the race horses
have but few equals for convenience and
comfort.
Exhibits are arriving from all sections of
the country and the work of arranging
them has begun in earnest, and all will be
in shape on October II when Governor
HOgg arrives to open the greatest fair and
exposition ever held in the Southwest.
The various special attractions, including
Liberati's military band, Burbank's artil-
lery, the Eden Musee, Japanese village,
Kiralfy's Around the World in Eighty
Days, Roseburry, the famous jumping
horse, will all be On hand for the opening.

Mr.. Ed HOnde lives on Thomas avenue. On

tracks of the vehicle for four blocks, but
there all trace was lost.

an Elm street store. The thief and officer

Greer's old blacksmith shop on Camp
street was the scene of another ARRAY to-
dry that came near being fatal. VIII Flow
ers and A. P. Malvey are both employees of
the shop. A fuss of some kind came up
between them, and fight followed. Flow
ers received terrible cash from shaving
knife across the forehead and nose that re-
Quired seven stitches to patch up. Greer's
shop will be remembered as the scene Of a
shooting scrape about the first of the year,
at which time Greer, the proprietor, was
shot and killed.

promises to be very large, so far the av-
erage being one day.
