the board of directors of the college,
Judge X X Legett, of Abilene, chair
man of the board, said he would never
be satisfied until he could see the

Capt. Sidney Smith has written to
President r. T. Miner that the A. and
NJ college may have its special day at
the fair, that the corps and the band
may parade on the fair grounds in any
way that it desires. thu; the day may
be named whatever the College au-
thorities may suggest and the officials
of the fair will make every effort 10
make it success, and a big dinner
will be served for the cadets by the
fair management.
Thus far and no farther have the
negotiations progressed.
One thing which stands in the way
is the expense of the special, train.
The corps will have to travel on a
special as no ordinary train of cars
can handle the entire military organic
alton of the college. While it is true
the railroads would be glad to make
very cheap rate for the occasion. it
was hoped that free train could be
secured. but the anti-pass law inter
feres with this. That matter is to be
settled later.

October will be the first trip of the
