entertainment fund of 100000. This
sum was raised In five days, BUSINESS
men of Dallas subscribing a total n
$50 200. and mobiles of Hella Ternn'a
| taking care of the remainder. A bud
get was made up and to each corr
mittee sum necessary for its work
was appropriated. Then the geperal
plan was outlined and the committee
chairmen were instructed to 20
ahead. DESPITE the enormous amount
of detail and the mammoth nature OF
the undertaking Dallas is now in
readiness to welcome visitors with a
certainty of impressing each and
every one of them that neither time
iior money has been spared to make
their stay interesting and enjoyable.
With the belief that three big fac
tors would enter largely into the sue
cess of the undertaking. President
Mike II. Thomas and his co-workers
gave their undivided attention to
proper accommodations for every, Wis
itor, to the decorations of the streets
and buildings, to a civic cleanup and
Identification campaign and to make
the entertainment features new and
novel and Southwestern in tone and
in setting To this end experts in
Mexican dishes and Mexican enter
tainment features were imported from
the land acros sthe Rio Grande. The
entire Southwest was ransacked and
q corps of old timers, men and wo-.
men born and bred in pioneer days,
were put in charge of the details of a
Long Horn barbecue. From ocean
to ocean, and rightly so, you will find
those that believe barbecued beef and
mutton is about the only edible that
deserves eternal life. And this Long
Horn barbecue will not be limited to
feasting alone. 1t will be made up
of other features of pioneer type
when the pioneer and cowboy ruled
supreme in the southwest and carved
and empire for their children.
Bands and Patrols.
One of the chief features of the re-
union will be the spectacular maneu.
yers and exhibitions of the patrols
and bands which will assemble here
from all parts of the United States.
Their entertainment is one of the big
problems of the local committee. All
patrols and bands will be housed in
a big encampment at Fair Park. The
encampment is ready and will accom-
modate more than twenty-five hun
dred patrol and band men. The i'm
plement and vehicle building at Fair
Park has been divided into compart-
ments, all outside and well lighted
and well ventilated Through the
center Of the building have been in
stalled shower baths, wash stands and
other conveniences. Meals will be
served in the cafe. and restaurant
building, with Mrs. Spiegel, a famous
caterer. in charge. The east end of
the building, which is closed, will be
used for offices and rest rooms and
will be deliberately decorated with
special electrical effects inside and
outside.
The office will be conducted like
regular hotel, with clerks on duty at
all tines, telegraph service, long dis
lance telephone, laundry agency, etc.
A branch postoffice will be. installed
for the convenience Of those taking
gency hospital, with DR.. M. p. Stone
in charge, will care for those that
need assistance of this sort, with no
extra charge.
The street railway company has
arranged for three-minute schedule
between the business district and the
fair grounds and for an all night owl
service. Features for the entertain
ment of patrols and bands are varied
and of great interest A synopsis of
the program is as follows:
