ought to have.
W. Z. Binyon--It Is a very good
thing
J. b. Collins-Think 1t is all right,
G. d. Peyton-lt Will be II big thing
for Fort Worth.
W. 7. Enis-Hope we will get 1t
through.
], 7, clements-Think it a grand en-
VIM, Montgomery-It is certainly a
grand thing.
c. Il. Nash-I believe IT is what we
ought to have.
W. t. Fakes--I am certainly in. favor
Of 1t.
Or. Capps-It is a great thing for
Fort Worth. Everybody is for it.
There is no reason why It should not
turn out to be a great event. fruitful
in good results to Fort Worth and
Texas at large, as everything of this
kind must be.
r. p. Pendery--It seems 10 me that
the grounds should be selected and the
buildings put up with view to their
future usefulness for the purposes Of a
fair grounds and race track. The site
should be selected by the proper coul-
mlttee with n view to the public in-
terests. and the buildings made sub
stantial SO that they could be used
permanently. Mr. Pendery added that
n building thus erected for the cele-
braton with accommodations for sew
eral thousand people could be secured,
and that 1t would probably be larger
and better than could be built here
by any fair or race track association
for several years to come. He thinks
this would furnish an additional in
centive to many to subscribe to the
stock OF the enterprise. He closed
with the remark: IL would take
couple OF hundred dollars stock
whether | ever got anything out of 1t
or not"
a. l.. Matron, a prominent merchant
OF BaltlmCre--I see Fort Worth is try
ing to get n Semi-Centennidi to adver-
tlse Texas to the world. l am glad
/ TO see II, too. for l am in love with the
/ town, and this is the best possible
l way to make your great resources and
varied Interests known. Why, If II Is
as successful as l think y. will be,
| fully three milllo MS OF people from
outside the state viii come. l know
/ Baltimore will send delegation after
| delegation OF good. sound business
men to see her rising rival in the em-
plre state OF the southwest. Interest
in II is growing, too. l heard scores OF
men talking of Fort Worth and her
Semi-Centennial at Dallas and at
Houston and even outside the state.
] never saw as much pluck and eLgrgy
as you Texans have, and If Fort
Worth can't make a success of such a
scheme, Atlanta had as well quit her
cotton exposition right now.
John r. Montgomery-A magnificent
scheme with which to advertise Texas
and Fort Worth. 1t should be pushed
for all 1t is worth. The unanimity
with which Fort WORTHLESS encourage
It foretells its success.
r. w. Chiles-I can only reiterate
what has been said before. II will
help us to extend our fame and bring
thousands of good people !.-r- The
grounds should be selected W this
way from the depot so that stranger'
could see the town. This was not the
case with the spring palace, and 1t, as
consequence, was not as beneficial
as 1t would have been had 1t beer
located somewhere up in the city.
James II. Maddox-It will be Just TIL
thing we have needed for several years
our resources need to be told to thu
world Let every living American heai
Of Fort Worth's greatness. She VIII
give them cordial welcome whel
they come, and / am sure not one VIII
comes will regret his visit.

else 1t seems, am working and viii

their energy or good wishes for IL
successful promotion.

T TO ever be paid. OF course l Will at

my power to make 1t a success.
