There About the Capital,
About six weeks ago, President Hall,
of the Fair association, invited Governor
Prince to deliver the annual address at
the Albuquerque fair in September. The
governor declined, saying that he had
delivered the address in 1883 and 1890,
and he thought that the honor ought to
be passed around, particularly as there
were 30 many persons in the territory
who could fill the position satisfactorily.
The request was afterward repeated orally
with the same response. A day or two ago
the governor received the following let
ter:

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, July 2l.-My
Dear Governor: Albuquerque people
never forget those who have favored her
and because of this and other rea-
sons, | write you once more to ask
that you will reconsider your declination
and be our guest during fair week and de-
liver the opening address.
The invitation has never been extend
ed to any one else, and it is the desire of
our people that you crafty us in this
matter.
You spoke of having gone over the
ground in your last years address-it
seems to me that companion-piece to
this could be, and would be listened to with
pleasure by the whole territory, for we
have certainly advanced.
There is no one so well fitted as the
governor of our territory to open our fair,
and as we have worked harder than ever,
expect more visitors, and mean to make
it TERRITORIAL" as you have noticed by
the action taken by counties, we feel that
We would like to have our governor help
us.
An early and satisfactory answer would
delight Yours truly, G. G. HALL,
President.
AS it seemed disobliging to decline
further, the governor sent down an &C.

Secretary Thomas to-day affixed "big
gold seal" to communication from the
governor to several Pecos valley citizens,
speaking of the agricultural and horticul-
tural industry down there and its promise
for the future. The communication is to
be sent to Sweden for immigration pur-
poses, and as big gold seals cut big
figure over there it was the wish of the
Pecos people that Secretary Thomas
should affix it, in connection with his
attestation that the writer is the governor
of New Mexico.
Late last evening Governor Prince re-
ceived a telegram from Col. Eaton, at

out of the establishment of the latter

was now in court, the commissioners
would prefer to let the court decide.

ton offering reward of 500 for the cap
