MIDWINTER FAIR
Permanent Organization May
Be Effected Now.
To The Herald !:

To The Herald:
Your item in Saturdays issue stat
ing that the joint convention held here
On January l 3 and IA, was the great
advertisement ever given the valley
should stimulate US to further actiy-
.ity along this line. The midwinter
exhibition of valley products given in
connection with this convention and
the excursion up the valley showed
accomplishments that were a revela-
ton alike to the visitor and the resi-
dent. The valley, and especially
Brownsville, its metropolis, should
never miss an opportunity to invite
and obtain if possible conventions
within our gates. The midwinter ex-
hibition of valley products hould
evolve into an annual midwinter fair
that would be a feature, if properly
advertised, that would attract visitors
and be a splendid advertisement of
the valley. The railroads would issue
convention rates and do their share in
advertising such an event In order
to make a permanent success of a
midwinter fair it will be necessary
for a regular fair association to be
formed in which, | am sure, the
whole valley would join Fair
grounds accessible to this city should
be obtained and improved with build
ings for exhibition and convention
purposes and a half mile race track
and baseball park included This
would provide permanent fair
grounds, a convention hall, a winter
race course, a baseball park and a
display garden, all of which would
be very valuable to Brownsville and
the valley. The Commercial club
will gladly support any movement for
the accomplishment of this object
Very truly yours.

Secretary.
