PRESIDENT HARRIS SENSIBLE TALK.

The stockholders Of the Ell Paso Ath-
letic Park association were booked to
hold their annual meeting last night to
elect directors and hear the reports OF
officers. But there was not a quorum
present. Under the charter granted by

necessary for a quorum to elect direct
ors. and as several Of the largest stock
holders are out OF the city. the feeting
was postponed until Monday night next,
But a number OF stockholders were at
the county court hoom yesterday ready
for business and they discussed the
question Of sending the El Paso team to
the Albuquerque fair next week.
President Hart Of the association
viewing 1t from a business standpoint,
thought by all mean Ei Paso should
send its ball team to Albuquerque. He
said Albuquerque offered a purse Of
from $3.50 to $500 to the winners. thai
his purse would carry six or eight
club there to play ten or nfteen games;
that Albuquerque would be at no ex-
pense for these games except the purse,
as each club would pay its own ex-
pcnses n as a consequence the fair as
sociation would clear a neat sum on
baseball.
President Hart wanted the Carnival
management 10 make a ball tourna-
ment a feature Of Ell Paso's Carnival
this winter. But IL we want the Al.
buquerque and other ball teams to come
here" said President Hart. I'VE must
send out our team. II we can get six
or eight teams here for the Carnival

oeipts."
Mr.. Hart suggested that a committee

to Albuquerque next Tuesday. Mr.. John
Julian was appointed chairman OF the
committee and authorized to select two
men TO canvass with him. Mr.. Hart
also said the Times would start the

lutely necessary for Ell Paso to send a
