SAN ANTONIO FAIR.

| SAN ANTONIO FAIR.
There are no doubt those in this
city who care nothing for the FAIR
only as an accompaniment to a
series of fall races. These men
would turn the whole machinery
of the FAIR into an agency for
promoting the races in which they
are interested, but this will not do
While the races are no unimpOr-
thant part of the attractions of fair
week they cannot be made to take
the place of any of the legitimate
departments of the FAIR. The
suggestion has been made that
we do not need any very extern
sive display of either agricul-
tural products or of live stock.
Nothing could be farther from
the real interests and objects of
the FAIR that this city should
hold that a sO-called fair in
which the interests of the cattle
and horse raisers of the cOun-
try are neglected, or in which
the agricultural products of this
southwest country are not promi-
nently put upon exhibit. This
FAIR is to encourage the cattle,
horse, hog, sheep, goat and other
stOckgrOwers to well directed
effort to improve their breeds and
thus add to the wealth of the stock
raiserS of the state. The same is
true of the raisers of agricultural
products of all kinds. This whole
southwest is coming forward as
the natural home of the man with
the hoe. Here the largest returns
are to be secured by the small fruit
grower and the market gardener,
the vine grower and the grower of
all varieties of semi-tropical fruits,
as well as those of the southern
belt of the temperate regions. 1t
isOne of the main objects of this
FAIR to encourage all these
growers of vegetables and fruits,
by offering such premiums for
theirmOst excellent products as will
bring to the agricultural depart
ment of the FAIR the very choic-
est specimens of the gardener and
the hOrticulturist's skill. The COM
ing wealth of this whole coast
region is to consist very large
ly of just such products as
these, and it will be a very short
sighted policy that will subOrdi-
nate this department of our COM
ing exhibit to any other. Liberal
premiums, not so many in number
as have been, offered but more val
liable, should be offered for fruits,
grains and vegetables, these to. be-
come the property Of the FAIR. 1t
is quality more than quantity that
is the end desired, but the higher
premium that is offered for an
article of superior value will insure
the collection of a sufficient guam
tity to make a splendid exhibit.
Southwest Texas never was in
better condition to make the effort
to demonstrate what she can do in
an agricultural way than she is
this season, and the collection of a
superior agricultural exhibit at the
FAIR this fall will be an advertise
ment for this section of the state
that will benefit it to the tune of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This FAIR is for the farmers and
the stOckman and the dairyman
and the gardener and the hOrti-
culturist, as we'll as for the horse
man who likes an animal that
throws the dust in the other fell
lows face

His Speech.


Mr.. w. NJ. Evarts, who has just been
celebrating his golden wedding, is man
of wit not too often used for telling eff
feet. He flashes his steel to good pur-
pose now and then. The story is said
that once at dinner of the New York
Potters, a sort of family reunion, he as
their counsel had been asked to dine with
them all. There was bishop, and there
was doctor of divinity, and there were
other distinguished scions of the family
tree present, and the after dinner speeches
had all been-very natural for such an
occasion-on the fame and success of one
another. The history of the Potters since
they first came to this country was told
in all its glorious details. Then Mr.. Ev-
arts was asked to make speech, and
they say he said that he felt he really
must be excused, In this reverend pres.
ence, however, he might be pardoned for
uttering paraphrase of Scripture which
had come into his mind during the
speeches of the rest-"Lord, Lord, thou
art the clay, and we are the Potters!"-
