whereupon he was arrested.

THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1895
A FAIR OR STOCK SHOW.

If you cannot get what you want,
then take what you can get
is as good a motto in pub
lie as in private affairs. The
decision against holding a Fair.
should such an one be reached, and
there is not particle Of use in at
tempting a Fair unless the money
is pledged, need not necessarily
put a quietus on the holding a
olive Stock show" this fall in con-
nection with the meeting of the
Jockey Club. The meeting today
will decide the fate of the Fair,
but it will be mistake to abandon
that attempt simply because a
numerously attended mass meet
ing is not held. San Antonio is
not a mass meeting town. 1t never
was and is not going to be this
year. There is really less hur-
rah about her methods of do
ing business than there is
about any town Of her size
in the country. Let score
of good substantial business men,
interested in holding a Fair here
this fall, get together and deter
mine to hold one and the thing is
done. These men can command
the movement in such way as to
enlist the hearty cooperation Of the
citizens and assure the success of
the enterprise without it's falling
too heavily on a few. The adVan-
tages that will accrue to every de-
partment of business from holding
a yearly FAIR for all thissouthwes st
in this city need not be discussed
The fact of its benefits is accepted
without question. The only un-
settled thing is as TO holding such
Fair and making it a success, that
is so interesting the southwest in
it as to awake a general interest
in it, gathering all the products
that can minister to it's attrac
tiveness and so conducting its
affairs as to present all it's work
and results in the best manner
Only let this be done and the wears
will see the Fair established on {
permanent basis. Once established
it will grow almost of its own vo
litiOn, as stone rolls down hill
but it must be established first anC
this will be the work OF a few
years. Every successful meeting
will increase the facility 70
another, and in time the Fair will
be one Of the institutions OF tn,
city, looked forward to and pro
vided for as the Fourth Of July O
San JacintO day or the Battle O
Flowers is. Nothing will bette
serve to bind the interest
Of this city and the sur
rounding counties in one com
mon bond than a successful Fai
and Live Stock association hoIdin
regular meetings in this cit,
annually.
