The one reaching San Antonio came
BY Ell Paso, while the other went far

Don Martin de Alarcon, lieuten
ant-general of the then province OF
Texas, had command Of the two bands
which were sent out to repel the in
vading French and suppress the In,
dians, who in only one or two IN
stances, were hostile towards thu
Spaniards.
Looking to each side Of this scene
which is laid on the cactus covered
soil of the Lone Star State, two
giant figures are seen holding back
red velvet curtains.
PICTURES ALLEGORICAL.
The remainder of the painting
which encircles the main picture is
entirely allegorical.
In the center at the top woman,
half seated and half lying, is writing
history in a book-the events out
standing in Texas making.
One arm is resting on the Spanish
shield. this reminding one that Spain
was the first to discover the land
upon which San Antonio now stands.
Back Of her is child holding a
Mexican shield, indicating that the
land was second owned and developed
by the Mexicans.
To the right of this pair is another
similar figure in mourning with the
keystone to San Antonio and a wreath
in her hands.
Directly behind her is another child
bearing the Lone Star. the shield of
Texas.
This reminds one that the land is
now the possession of the Texans.
TO HONOR ALAMO.
On the keystone. or tablet, there
will be inscribed in Memory of the
Heroes of the Alamo"
And the final touches on the giant
drapery. according to Mr.. POhl, will
be in memory of Travis. Crockett
Bowie and BOnharn.
Four shields with flaming torches
will line the top Of the picture in
everlasting memory of the men who
died behind the battle SCARED anc
blood stained walls of the Alamo.
Just as quickly as Mr.. Pohl com.
pletes his first drawing, he will start
work on the main curtain.
The auditorium, which will cost
approximately 100000, will b,
completed about April ].
