The meeting yesterday was taken up
mostly by short addresses of welcome
by the older members of the council. and
with responses by the new members.
Alderman H. j. Kirk read the principal
greeting from a prepared paper, during
which he took up the work of an alder
manic body and its few cncouragements
and many disappointments. He said:
1T may be inOpportune at this time

ATTRACT VALLEY TRADE.
VISITORS ENJOYED OPPORTUNI-
TY TO VISIT CITY-TRADE VERY
BRISK THROUGHOUT DAI-EN-
TERTAINMENT THIS EVENING.

With fully five hundred visitors in
town today, Brownsville's first Festival
Day may be pronounced an unqualified
success. Valley people are generally
glad to visit Brownsville. and, when such
i cheap excursion rate is offered. backed
by such an array of truly tempting trade
bargains as those offered for today by
the enterprising members Of the Browns
vile Merchants League. it was not sur
priSing to see SO many of our up-the
valley friends in town.
The results appear to have been most
gratifying so far to both visitors and
merchants. Ever since the arrival of
the special excursion train, the stores
nave been filled with customers, and
trade has been exceedingly brisk.
This afternoon every merchant who
was called upon was found to be busy
with customers, and indications are that
the end of the day will find the mer
chants themselves surprised at the
amount of sales that have eliminated as
a result of their first real effort to at
tract outside trade to Brownsville
The visitors came here with a little
side trip in mind, and to see if the mer
chants really offered the bargains that
have been advertised over the Lower Rio
Grand Valley for the Spring Festival.
Thy have also been entertained by ten
his tournament that is in progress in the
government reservation, and during the
late afternoon and this evening they
will hear the finesG band on the Rio
Grande, the Sixth Mexican Cavalry
Band of Matamoros.
The first notice of the crowd that ar
rived appeared at 1910 o'clock this
morning when the motor car came III
from up the Valley. This car brought a
load of probably seventy-five passengers,
nearly all of whom had been attracted to
Brownsville by the specially low prices
that offered for their special benefit, in
ending 'Se;iSonable wearing apparel, and
AN thdleSs number of articles that are
useful about the farm and home. Later
fht special train from Mission arrived,
bringing four passenger cars well load
ed with people, and still later the noon
train arrived with goodly number Of
people from up the main line. It is CON
$crvativtly estimated that there. are at
least five hundred visitors in Browns
Vile today.
