To the Daily Light:
Last week jour correspondent re-
ceived au invitation from Prof.
Wesley Bradley of the Laurens In-
stitue to attend their annual ex-
amination but sickness prevented
me from going. The examinations
were conducted through the 25 26
and 27 and tonight medals will be
awarded to the successful students
at the Teatro Progreso. The Lau-
rens Institute is one of rising col-
leges in the Republie aud is de-
stined in the near future to rank
second to none.
ANOTHER DAIRY.
Capt. C. Langhlil formerly of St.
Louis but lately of Guadalajara
has leased a tract of land adjoin
ing the cjty for the purpo-e of
starting a dairy. As this is not
the proper season to import Jersey
cattle he will wait until Octo-
ber but in the mean time he will
set out Alfalfa and other grasses
so as to raise his own feed.
THE TIMES.
Sunday morning the Times an-
other English paper was issued.
JamesL. Walker is the responsible
editor. As this makes two English
papers whose publishers an-
nounced that they came here to
stay the Mexicans as well as the
Americans were anxious to see
what they would look like but the
Times does not come up to their
expectations. But as the editor
remarks in the local columns “no
apology need be offered for Imper-
fections in this issue having to
arrange type from Spanish to Eng-
lish and much else in fitting up
the mechanical labor has been
more than double the ordinary.”
The next number will be anxiona-
ly looked for.

PERSONALS.
This week I met Mr. Fred. C.
Richards who had been for four
years connected with Mr. Wm. Pur-
cell in the hardware business in
Saltillo Coahuilo Mexico when
Mr. Purcell sold out his hardware
business Mr. Richards took a trip
to his old home in England and
while there he made arrangements
with the leading iron steel wire
rope and mining supply manufac-
turers of Manchester and Sheffield
to represent them in this country
and will open an office in the city of
Mexico.
When he told me wnere he was
going to locate I tried to persuade
him to open an office in this city
as Monterey was now the greatest
manufacturing city in the Repub-
lic and that she was surrounded
with more mines than the City of
Mexico. He replied: “I see what
you say is so. The reason that I
have situated in the city of Mexico
is this: I will not have as much
competition there as I would here.
Sabe?” I eabied. I bid him good
by and much luck and off he went.
I have known Mr. Richards for
a number of years and I know
that he is a very competant man in
his line of business.
Major H. K. White and wife of
Bryne Texas are taking a course
of baths at the Topo Chico Hot
springs. The Major went to the
City of Mexico for the benefit of
his health but only stayed three
days as the climate did not agree
with him he then went to San
Luis Potosi and only staid two
days and one day at Saltillo as
the altitudes were to high for
him. He then came here but his
home doctors told him not to bath
in the hot water of Topo Chico as
they would kill him but as he saw
a great many people bathing there
and all of them were recovering
their health he concluded to try
them kill or cure. From the time
he took the first bath he began to
get better and he told me on Sat-
urday last that he had not felt as
well in many years as he did then.
He expects to spend the summer
here.

Suggestions About How to Run
a Fair.
Written for the Light:
The way to have a first rate and
a self-sustaining fair in San Anto-
nio is to run it on a broad-guaged
schedule and to lift it out of the
asmosphere of a close corporation.
Let a pesemptory rule be adopt-
ed that none of the persons official-
ly connected with the Fair shall
compete for any of the premiums.
In case they desire to compete for
prizes let them resign their posi-
tions and come in as private citi-
zens.
The public must be fully im-
pressed with the conviction that
everything is straight forward and
above board in the management of
the fair and in the distribution of
the prizes and to do this thing the
officers should not compete for the
prizes.
The Jockey club rightfully or
wrongfully was regarded in the
light of a close corporation and the
capture of most of the prizes by
the officers of the club contlrmed
this unfavorable impression.
The prizes should interest the
farmers and the stock raisers. A
prize of $lOO for the best bale of
cotton exhibited by the farmer
who grew it would stimulate far-
mers to take extra pains in the
handling of their cotton.
A prize of $25 for the best bushel
of corn exhibited by the producer
would induce farmers to compete
for the prize and lead them to
plant the best seed corn in future.
Prizes should be offered for the
best bushel of sweet potatoes the
best half dozen pumpkins the best
bale of Texas hay and the best
bushel of wheat.
A prize of $5O should be offered
for the largest beef steer and a
prize of $25 for the best milch cow.
Heretofore it has been the rule
and the custom to make some rich
man president of the club. He
had his hands full with his private
affairs and have neither taste nor
adaptation for the position and
felt bored by the position the
duties of which interfered with his
private business and his inclina-
tions and habits.
The president if paid a salary
should be required to earn it by
action and energetic exploitation
of the fair and by diligent atten-
tion to all the arrangements and
details. Few rich men would de-
cline an office with a salary at-
tached to it; most of them have an
eye single to the main chance not-
withstanding they have large in-
comes from their property and do
not need a pitiful salary to eke out
their livlihood.
Give men that need the salary
a chance once in a century at least.
They will exert all their ability
energy and tact in order to render
the fair a brilliant success; they
will spare no labor or pains to
make a reputation for themselves
by their management of the fair.
They will devote their time to it.
They will hot have pets and fa-
vorites to jam into this or that
soft place about the fair. The presi-
dent of the fair should not bo a
drone or a figure head but a man
who wants the salary and wants to
make a reputation and who will
work with a vim.
If the directoir are level-headed
and broad-gauged they will quit
the old grooves disregard the old
traditions and customs about rich
men being the proper persons to
place at the head of a fair and se-
lect some one who will devote his
time energies and abilities to
working up a fair that will reflect
credit on San Antonio.
A set of books should be kept
showing every dollar that Is re-
ceived and every dollar that Is paid
out. Business methods and prin-
ciples should be followed closely
and faithfully as that is the only
way of securing the confidence of
the public.

The Need of a Market House.
San Antonio Daily Light:
Not long ago the Light made a
very good and timely suggestion
and called attention to the urgent
need of a common market bouse
for all purposes. It may not do
harm to call attention again to
the subject. Common sense dic-
tates that our city with its daily
growing population and the large
outside traffic should have a mod-
ern market hall on one of the large
open plazas and with sufficient
stands for all the different market
produces. As stated by the Light
Paschal Square would answer the
purpose but as here already the
country produce hay wood grain
cotton and all other market pro-
ducers have their stands and it is
one of the flnest places in the city
for building a market hall on a
grand style. If one notices how
the vegetable vendors are crowded
around the City hall and how
they are exposed to the burning
sun before evening time and the
vegetables and fruits also are ex-
posed it is very apparent that a
change should be made to shelter
the market produce as well as the
vendors and buyers. Besides this
the stands around the city hall as
they are now are not in a very
savory locality as the manure
from the horses and decayed vege-
table material lays around abund-
antly and many of the vendors
have no stand whatever but have
their vegetables and all sorts of
fruit spread upon the ground as
any one will notice by making a
tour around the city hall towards
evening or in the morning. It is
to be hoped that for the com-
mon good of our people our
city fathers will approve the
necessity of a large market hall
and will look into the ways and
means to have the same established
soon. Besides adding to the com-
fort and healthfullness of all con-
cerned a substantial modern mar-
ket hall would give San Antonio a
better advertisement all over the
country. JPerhaps a separate shelt-
ering hall for the horses could be
adjusted so as to protect them also
from the sun ana rain.
If not mistaken it was the will
of the late Mayor George Paschal
to have a market hall built on Mi-
lam square and surely there could
be no better monument set to the
memory of one of San Antonio’s
most deserving citizens than by
erecting this markethouse on Pas-
chal square. It would combine all
market stands and produce one of
the grandest market places to be
found anywhere in Texas and it
would give this city a larger boom
than any thing else could accom-
plish.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.
There has been more than usual
life at the Aransas Pass switch at
West End in the last few days
since in addition to building ma-
terial for the West End Female
college the household effects of
Mr. Shafer and family arrived.
Mr. Shafer formerly of San Diego
Texas has purchased the Round-
tree place which is being improved
now. Mrs. Shafer will have the
company of her mother Mrs.
Davis of Seguin.
Mr. Roundtree now lives in one
of Mr. Newson’s places.
I was glad to hear a rumor that
Mr. Sid B. Easley and family
would soon make West End their
future home.
Boatriding by moonlight is much
indulged in now.
West End will have increased
attendance for her colleges when
they reopen in the autumn.
