Capful kUU Fair A S acres.
It gives us pleasure to announce that'ar-
rangements bare finally been concluded be-
tween tbe Capital State Fair Association
and the owner of the-.Lce tract for eighty
tire acres foe fit- fa'tJg-.oun&afld race
course. TLU piece of land lica In the south-
east corner of the Lee tract and embraces
the highest and mct laotiuVrtLnVf
it. It lie just opposite the homestead of
Mr. Teck. The fair pounds will therefore
be open to three puyuc exposures bot tne
wain one will probably be jast opposite the
Lunatic Asylum grounds where the Fair
Association have pegotiated for ad entrance
avenue through the property between the
Lunatic Asylum and fair grounds.. ..The
eastern portion of the fair grounds will be
devoted to the race track; which will be a
mile long sad one f th finesj in tie world.
It will bo laid of? in an oblong shape upon
a high and level plateau. The soil is welj
adapted to the proper construction 'of a
course and when CoL'TJorJOJl j&Lao$gb
putting his scientific touches upon it Ella
and Sam Harper will uin'new laurtla ove
the bent horses of the United-Stated 'The
balance of the eighty-five acres will be de-
voted to fair grounds drives jarks and
other attractions. Ten per cent of the
subscriptions Is to be immediately called in
to commence the improvements.' Fifty per
cent will be called in during this year to
put the fair into operation next fall. All
will therefore be life and activity in
short time at tbe fair grounds. "Workmen
have already been busy clearing away tbe
underbrush of the grove? eni next Col.
Norton will be operatic g r-n the rsce course
houses will be going up and things 'nil!
go on and on to a grand success. Let
everybody givo it a push.
Peksonal. Dr.; "Weatfall our Stato Sen-
ator dropped in upon us Tuesday. The
result of a long consultation with him upon
the manner aud wans to be adopted' in se-
lf cting delegates to a constitutional conven-
tion brought us to the conclusion that the
Doctor is not o far rem ore d from the posir
tion of the StxtkbuaX as mlglifbe sup-"
posed. He ctvlls a convention it is true
but tliinks it much the best that partisan-
ship should never be allowed to enter the
convention. lie recognizes that it would
bo in all probability subversive of- proper
fundamental government." IIVj only fear
seems to be that no unity of action will be
secured unless by regular nominations. He
coincides thoroughly with the Statesman
about making party nominations for the
Legislature. and drawing party lines In that
body. ; ;:
Tuesday we had tbe pleasure of a". vhit
from Mr. A rMattbewsor of the' First Na-
tional Bank of Parsons Kansas. He has
been as far as San Antonio and s peaks most
glowingly of the beauties and rropperity of
Texas. lie says that nothing has so greatly
surprised hira as the eric! -ct-s of rapid ad-
vancement and present t prosperity f
Texas. . He think3 as doo.-s ccry onq else

we cannot believe that the post is to be dis-
continued for to long- as troops 'are to bf

remain the" best Yoin' . from T. which J to

has been obtained ia this count j' and per-
haps could not hare been'' had at Uip'same
rates anywhere in "Western Texas. And so
soon as the International Railroad reaches
this city which will be "but a few months
Austin will enjoy still' greater advantages
as a shipping port. The distance to' 8t

and of course. Eo'army- aiippliea intended

To maintain lt.we have at .all times shown
a readiness to conform in every particular
to the requirements of the times. For
nearly three years the Statesman has given
the people of the city the associated tele-
graph dispatches while two other dailies
have nearly all of that time regarded ttis
trouble and expense unnecessary." The size
of the paper has been increased from time
to time and its' style improved always to
the- full extent of .means to" carry out plans.
It is intended that the Statesman shall 4 in
every way meet the wants of the reading
public." The circulation of the paper isin?
creasing and with the early reorganization
of the city carrier department it is cofl
dently expected that the Statesman circu-
lation will rapidly increase.
Tub new motive power for street cars

calculated that with a pressure of one hun-
dred and fifty pounds the cat maybe run
over the entire line of any street railroad in
tho city. The engines two in number
small in dimensions and working at right
anglesj'can bejtopped quicker than a horse
can be balted. Col. Swisher will be on the
piTtice until. theso bellows supplant.- his
mules. "We are inclined to believe that
horses in drays and c.rr.ges will rebel
against the invisible motor. It is not the
noise -of a railway train that frightens a
