Dallas Tex. Oct. SIN eleven days
more the Texas State Fair will be in
full blast and the indications are that
1t win be the most successful for years
past. President Sanger is at home
now and will be at the fair ground
daily assisting in getting the huge ma
chinery In motion. He confidently
predicts grand success TO the enter
prise this year In the event OF favor
able weather. This morning many
exhibitors began work in exposition
hall and by next saturday every
Inch OF available space Will be crowded
with costly exhibits. The horticultural
displays will be made in exposition
and music hall, under the superin-
tendency OF Mitch Gray, and he Will
be assisted by j. Nj. Howell. vice
president OF the State Horticultural
association, and other members OF the
association well known to the public.
M. NJ. Gardener of Nashville, Tenn,
famous breeder OF Jersey cattle,
writes that he Will visit the fair with
a large party OF friends and letters of
similar import are received daily by
the secretary. w. A. FOLEY, the
travelling passenger agent OF the Santa
F'e, came In from Galveston this morn
ing. He visited the grounds and In
spected the buildings. He said to
your correspondent; THE attendance
this year from Galveston and all towns
on the line OF the Santa Re Will be
very large. The farmers are also
greatly Interested this year and will
come in large numbers. The great
racing program will be n drawing card
during the thirteen days of the races.
Carver Is a wonderfully strong at
traction and thousands always gather
to witness his great exploits vita the
rife. Carver is the greatest living
rifle shot and his performances are
certainly marvellous. u. Crate and his
famous band for the music hall will
make a great hit. He is in my opin-
ion the greatest band leader In Amer
lea. with favorable weather 100000
persons should enter the gates of the
| fair this year. The exhibits In all de-
| partments and the novelties are GER
| tainly all that can be asked,

| lowing telegram today:
