The epicurean part OF the programme
seemed to be accepted in purely allo-

pathic training.

can do IN social way exemplified by the
host and hostess last evening were allowed
in advocating this city as the permanent

most popular musical selections while the
moving throng, with the dark dress suits of
the gentlemen and the radiant costumes OF
the ladies cOnspired TO form q Kaleidoscope
picture of mirth. youth and beauty that
can hardly be eXcelled in the Southland.
Group after group of guests could be seen
chatting for 4 moment together, then gradu-
ally dissolying to form anew in other por-
tons Of the room Around, above and over
all breathed that spirit of hospitality for
which the South has become so famous.
Each and every guest was made TO feel that
he had hearty welcome, and that Fort
Worth'S citizens were glad 10 see him there.
Attentive ushers paid every possible atten-
ton to the guests, and every method was
employed to render the occasion an unusu-
ally brilliant success.
A description Of this reception would be
incomplete without mention OF the musical
feature OF the evening: the numbers rem

THE BARBECUE.
1t will Take Place at the Packing House


When the Worlds fair convention was
first called one of the first things TO attract
the attention Of the entertainment commit
tee was some method by which the visitors
to the city could be entertained. and in
what would be the most acceptable
manner. Various methods were discussed,
and it was finally decided that a good old
fashioned barbecue was just the thing. and
accordingly it will be given this afternoon.
When this was decided upon the next CUES
ton was as to the method of rapid transit
and means of transportation. Owing to the
North Side bridge being out, the electric
cars were out OF the question as q method
of transit and carriages were not available
in sufficient numbers. In this emergency,

Santa Fe, took the matter up with his COM
