A representative of The Optic called
upon Colonel r. Z. Twitchell. the un-
firing president OF the Driving Park
& Fair association, and as usual found
him hard at work with plans for pre-
sentation to the board Of directors this
evening at the Commercial club.
"Of course We ought to have a fair :"
said the colonel. when you have a
good thing moving, push ii along and
they will all come through The
citizens of the two cities have in
vested in their park not less than
twenty thousand dollars now; then
why not have fair and general
fall festival and invite all New Mex
leo to come and see what we are
doing and what We propose to do;
don't hide your light under bushel
basket but let her burn and make the
rest of 'em get in the shadows The
truth is the people of this community
ought TO have had this fair and fall
entertainment business going and on
its feet fifteen years ago" Every
town and city of any account in the
west has it's regular entertainment in
the fall ana the people VIII come
through If you get them headed in the
right direction. 1t takes a few years
to obtain the best results but in the
long run, ii is most profitable for the
entertaining community. And why
shouldn't Las Vegas be the leader;
we are advertised throughout the
country from Los Angeles to Chicago
and from Denver 10 Ell Paso as having
the finest racing course, and training
tracks in the southwest; We have
secured the best endorsement OF any
city in the southwest and all that is
necessary is to keep the ball rolling.
