The Gazette proposed the holding OF
Scmi-Centennial I1Nposition to celebrate
the nftieth anniversary of Texas be-
coming a state The idea originated
with the Gazette. and was not suggest
ed by any outside party, nor has any
one secret motives or hopes OF lndiyidu-
al benefit or advancement in the mat
ter.
1t was suggested that 1t be held In
Fort Worth, and so far the suggestion
has met with universal favor, both at
home and abroad. The city council Of
Fort Worth officially ndorsed the
proposition, and the people OF Fort
Worth are as a unit on tnls undertake
ing
The Gazette Will say that plans are
maturing and soon the public will be
given IN dctail-the beginning OF actual
work on the great SemI-Centennlal l2x-
position Of Texas. The celebration
could not possibly be held at but one
point. and the Gazette can promise for
the people OF Fort Worth that 1t in all
things viii be In full keeping In mag
uI.uJe with the Importance Of the event.
And now TO the success of this vast
Undertaking the Gazette pledges to the
people OF Texas it's time and best ef-
forts.

Again, Texas IS composed OF cos

Mrs. Van Zandt impresses one as being
a most extraordinary woman. At an
advanced age she is bright. cheerful
and entertaining. In conversation she
passes rapidly over the principal events
of the history OF annexation and shows
a marked familiarity with every CTR
cumstance connected Herewith. She
listens 10 a question with marked at
tention and her answers are quick,
though selected inca manner that dis
plays the born diplnmat, If the bring
ing OF the great ship OF state OF the
Republic OF Texas out Of seas Of un-
certainty ana exceeding danger and
harborlng 1t safely in the port Of this
Union was a triumph on the part of
her husband. It must be remembered
that he was in feeble health. that she
was ever present with him and sus-
tanned him in all his work The women
OF Texas then have an interest In this
matter and should be accorded every
opportunity in the great celebration OF
the Seml-Centennlal OF Texas as
state.

The chute at Alexander Island has al
ways been very unpopular with the public
for the reason that it is such an easy matter
to Job races that are run out of it. II
they were done away with altogether and
all of the events were run on the circular
track. 1t would please all hands, with the
possible exception of those " no profit by

One of these fixed races was run out of
the chute in the fifth event yesterday that
was SO thoroughly rotten that the talent
threw up their hands in horror Jersey
came out and beat the 2 TO shot, Forest,
with apparent case, and the one comment
that as made ON the race was .'shoo."

possibly been done to the Forestpeople was
torule them off for life and then throw them

On form, Forest figured" a to 10 shot.
On Tuesday last he beat Harry Keister
handily with Jersey third, beaten off, and
on Thursday he took Jessie ToraIand Sonora,
into camp without turning hair.
Yesterday as soon as the horses left the
post he was taken SO far back that he could
not possibly make up the lost ground.
Parsons turned his head loose when he saw
that he did not have a chance and closed so
rapidly on Jersey that he came very near
beating him, notwithstanding the pull"

DR.. Reed dropped out of the race when the

in hard drive won from Founding by a

behind Founding, with DR.. Reed beaten off.

G. o. D. and PocohOntas closed equal
