sG,ernor James u. Ferguson and
Mayor Henry ID. Lindsey Rode az
Head ot Proces>ion-lt'S
Children's Day.

DALLAS. Texas, October 14.-The
gates Of the Texas State Fair grounds
swung slowly open this morning TO
admit the great municipal parade.
headed by Governor James f.. Fergu-
son, anu the thirty-first annual Texas
State Fair was officially opened.
The governor delivered a short add
dress at the coliseum.
Today, in accordance with time
honored custom, was Children's Day,
and thousands of youngsters took
advantage OF il, crowding into every
nook and Granny of the big EXPOSE
ton grounds. gazing with childish
wonder at the splendor and magnifi-
cenee at the the wonderful sights
which greeted them.
The present fair promises TO
eclipse all former records, and set
rev ones which will remain for years
to come. The management, in the
face of year of unprecedented pros
rerity in Texas, has spared no ex-
pense in making this the greatest
fair.
The annual exposition was opened
as usual with the municipal parade
headed by Gov. Ferguson and Mayo
Henry d. Lindsey, followed in order
BY representatives of every branch
CT city government from the city
auditor to the street-cleaners.
The parade this year served a
double purpose. 1t combined the
official opening of the fair with the
celebration of the formal opening OF
Dallas new $5,000,000 union station,
the finest in the south. 1t has been
in use for week, but the opening
ceremonies are being held today.
The closing feature will be banquet
tonight at the Scottish Rite cathe-
dral, where plates will be laid for
1900 guests, and Some of the most
prominent railroad men in the coun-
try will speak.
The fair will continue two weeks.
The most elaborate array of agri-
cultural exhibits ever shown in Texas
has been assembled, and virtually
every county in the state is repre-
sented The live stock section has
been doubled and every available
space is taken. The industrial sec
ton, too. is greater and more cost
~ than ever before.
Aeroplane flights, auto races. Fl e
orks displays, vaudeville, music,
parades, pageants, bands and hun
dreds of other amusement features
are present.
