Regard to the Worlds Fair.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Judge Won Rosenberg, which
will explain itself:
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. -, 1891.
TO the Honorable County Judge, Austin,
Tex:
DEAR SIR-The Worlds fair at Chi
cago-intended to show to the people
of the earth the unparalleled growth OF
the United States in all that coutrib-
utes to human happiness-will open in
1892. 1t is the proud boast of San
Antonio that no section of this CONT
mont is richer in material resources,
more salubrious and healthful in eli |
mate or faJler in soil than Southwest |
Texas. At the Worlds fair the finest
opportunity ever offered will be given
US to show TO men with money for
! safe investment where they can pla re
their capital with feeling OF absolute
as urance OF profitable return.
In this connection we earnestly de-
sire to enlist the active interest OF
every county in southwest Texas in
The fourth annual exposition OF cur
al Antonio international fair, next
TALL. With this object in view we have
fixed upon Tuesday, February 10,
proXimo, for u delegate convention in
San Antonio of all counties in south
west Texas. At this convention it is
proposed to devise definite plan for
securing comparative exhibits from
each county in the section indicated;
these exhibits to he sent to the San
Antonio internN;i nal fair for eXhibi-
ton and To remain here iur two veays,
being added to until they are complete
and in enloundened shape for trans-
pOTtation to the WORLDS fair at chi
cago, to there occupy conspicuous
place III the general Texas exhibit.
The cost Of collecting and trans
porting these exhibits to San Antonio
will be tritling. The railroads will
bring them here free of cost, and the
, San Antonio international fair assO-
citation Will store them safely and Sc
curely without any charge. In addi-
ton to acting as custodian, the asso-
, citation will offer liberal premiums for
the best county exhibits, which awards
OF themselves should be sufficient in
ducement to insure large represcn-
tation at the Forthcoming information.
al fair.
The railroads in all probability will
furnish transportation free to ore or
more delegates from each county to
which this invitation is sent. The
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass has
already volunte cred this courtesy, and
; negotiations to the same end are now
in progress with the Southern Pacific
and International and Great North
ern roads. The decision in this mat.
ter will be communicated to YOU in
due time.
Allow me to direct your attention
to the TACT that the time between now
and the date OF the convention is very
brief, and it therefore behooyes Won to
appoint your delegates at once and
enthuse them with the importance of
attending the convention. They will
meet with San Antonio's Character
istic hospitality when they come here
and their labors will result in unlim2
tied benefit to every land owner Of the
Southwest.
Hoping and believing that YOU will
give this matter your very earliest at.
tention we have the honor to be
BRYAN GALLAGHAN,
Mayor of the City of San Antonio.
