ON A GRANDER SCALE
Than Ever Before VIII the F., F. and v.
Festival Be Repeated.
THlSDtclslON WAS UNANIMOUSLY REACHED
At n Wen Attended Meeting mt the
Business League Yesterday--Dis-
QUESTION of "a Permanent Fair.

rooms of the Business League 1t was de-
cided by the unanimous expression of all
present to repeat the Fruit, Flower and
Vegetable Festival this winter on even a
grander scale than ever before attempted.
1t was argued that simply to repeat the
festival of the last two years would be
worse than to abandon It altogether as
Houston was making such rapid strides
that she could not afford to stand still in
the matter of her annual exhibitions, but
must advance along lines commensurate
with her general advancement, that unless
very much improved festival was given
this year Houston could not expect to
hold her prestige with the people
Every one present Endorsed this senti-
ment and as an evidence Of the faith that
was in them those present, who were
among the most liberal subscribers in the
past, agreed to double their subscriptions
this year.
Ancng those present were Messrs. Jas
f. Dumble Z. @ Rust, II. VI. Johnston,
Ed Khan, Abe Levy. b. r. Warner, G. W.
