Poor ma commenced to cry;
But when l told pa how 1t was.
He clapped his hands for joy,
And told me I had done bully, cause
Once he had been boy.

They won't be otherwise,
And the one that learns to fight his way
Is the one that wins the prize;
When l was his age fightin' was
My greatest earthly joy"
But ma, she kept on cryin, cause
She never was a boy.

A girl with fluffy hair,
And always prim as A b G,
With clothes too clean to wear,
When ma was small | spose she was
Red-cheeked and sweet and coy
But, OH the fun that missed her cause
She never was boy.

TnE rERRIrORIAL rAIR.


Directors Fix Dates For October as
Program Heing Prepared.
The board OF directors OF the territorial
iair association held meetings at the
Office Of the president, e. N. Wilkers0n,
yesterday afternoon aud evening. The
3itnation In regard TO the fair was fully
discussed and the dates for holding II
we're hxed for october I 8, inclusive.
The opinion prevailed that the fair
could be made a success at considerably
| less expense than was incurred last year,
when thu outlay amounted to about
50 500. The directors do not think, how
ever, that IL will be possible 10 success
fully conduct the fair on less than $1,000
aud as only about $1,000 have been sub
scribed 40 far, there still remains about
$1,000 TO DO donated. A committee was
appointed 10 call on the business people
Ot the city and see II this amount can be
raised. IL Is 10 be hoped that every loyal
and progressive citizen OF Albuquerque
will assist the committee 10 the
extent Of his ability in raising
this sum and thus make the fair an az
sured fact and success II this year is
TO pass by without holding a fair here.
Albuquerque's prestige in the matter
will be gone, and the fair may be held
some place else In the future. This Is
one Of the features OF the situation which
makes IL 30 essential that every citizen
should do his full duty In the matter OF
making financial contribution to the
fair.
A committee, consisting of President
WilkersOn, Secretary Crawford and Dr..
Pearce, was appointed TO prepare pro.
gram for each day OF the fair and to
make a report at the next meeting OF the
directors, which will be held In Mr.. viii
kerson's office next Saturday night.
The general sentiment among the
directors was that base ball t0nrna-
ment and horse races should be made
The principal features OF the fair, ana
that 81 900 should be devoted to the for.
meT and $1,000 for the latter.
Secretary Crawford and Otto Young
have both received letters from the base
ball talent that played such brilliant
base ball for Albuquerque last year, say
ing that they would play here again this
year, Good teams will also he organized
In different cities OF the territory, aud
there Ia no doubt that the base ball tour
nament can be made TO come up TO the
high standard OF past years.
