Cotton Carnival Auto Race Course and Aviation Scenes
Fourth Annual Event
Gives Promise of Be-
ing Brilliant Success.
Plans are Now Well
Under Way.
Galveston’s Fourth Annual Cotton
Carnival and Exposition is scheduled
to take place this year Aug. 8 to 18,
eleven days, at the Auditorium build-
ing and grounds. The indications are
that the coming- event will surpass in
point of merit and attendance all of
its predecessors.:
Each annual Carnival and Exposi-
tion is financed by and held under the
auspices of the Galveston Commercial
Association and under the immediate
supervision and direction, of a special
committee. The year’s committee is
composed of E. R. Cheesborough, chair-
man; J. E. Kauffman, secretary; F. W.
Catterall, treasurer, and Messrs. L. A.

tions of the city are first <class, and
the capacity to care for carnival crowds
is such as to lend assurance of com-
fort and pleasure while ;in the> city.
The cheap railroad rates afforded to
take advantage of all tnese opportun-
ities also enable the people of Texas
to visit one of the 'most enterprising
cities in the world. There are many
things of interest in Garveston that
are not found in the ordinary com-
munity—its cosmopolitan population,
its ships from- every nation, its im-
mense export and import trade, its
fishing, boating, hunting and magnifi-
cent surf bathing, all afford oppor-1
tunities not to be found elsewhere.
Aviation.
Although the first flight in heavier-
than-air craft from Galveston Island
was not made until January of this
year, the progress of aviation has
been so rapid that within a short time
Galveston has far outstripped her sis-
ter Texas cities in that line. From
the 18th of January when Chas. K.
Hamilton of New York, without doubt

The Carnival grounds and building
will be open to the general public from
1 o’clock eac^i afternon until 10 o’clock
at night. Elaborate concerts will take
place daily by Ellery’s .Royal Italian
band, one of the most celebrated mu-
sical organizations in existence. Prof.
Channing Ellery and his great band of
fifty pieces has an international repu-
tation.
Automobile Races.
The special feature of ■ the three
opening days, Aug. 8, 9 and 10, will be
the automobile racing on Galveston’s
famous beach under the direction of
the Galveston Automobile Club, of
which Capt. J. W. Munn is chairman,
jointly with the Texas gtate Automo-
bile Association. More than $6,000 in
cash and handsome prizes are offered
for the events scheduled. It is planned
to make this the national beach auto-
mobile meet of the year, placing it in
a class with such events as {lie Van-
derbilt, Elgin National Stock cham-
pionship, ;the Speedway, etc.
The races are to take place undent
the established rules of the A. A. A.
contest board, and Fred J. Wagner,
official starter for the association, will
be present and act in that capacity.
The Warner electrical timing instru-
ment will be used and all records
made will bear the stamp of national
authenticity. All races will be run on
a two and’ oneh-alf mile beach course,
which will be fitted with turns, so
that the! cars will be at all times in
sight of , the spectators. The grand-
stand will be elevated well ^tbove the
level of the beach, and the repair pits
will be directly in front of the stand,
where the quick work in tire changing
and motor work, which is always in-
teresting,! can be seen clearly.
Now that the great causeway has
been completed, it is anticipated that
hundreds of cars from all over the
state wi.ll be run to Galveston, one or
two days before the opening of the
lliiiijg!

the world’s foremost birdman, made the
first flight from the island, the prog-
ress of aviation has been so rapid
here that it is followed through the
various steps with difficulty.
At the present date, although Ham
ilton has long since gone to other sec-
tions of the country, the Hahn-Smith
concern of Texas City is working over-
time getting hydro-aeroplanes and
other forms of land and water ma-
chines into shape for flying across the
gigantic causeway on the opening date,
Saturday, May 25. Already this con-
cern has several ’machines of each
type on the ground and through the
summer months will have birdmen in
the air daily in all manner of sensa-
tional flights both over the mainland,
island and channel. They will also
introduce a passenger carrying service
over the channel as an added induce-
J. J. SCHOTT
No name is closer connected with the
growth and prosperity of the city of
Galveston than that of J. J. Schott,
hasving been one of the leading busi-
ness men here for nearly fifty years.
He has a state-wide reputation as a
retlail druggist, which he established
1S67, and which has grown to be
the largest retail drug store in Texas.
There are few people, indeed, in the
state that have not heard of Schott’s
Drug Store.
The store is located at 2015 and 2017
Market street, and he has' a record
that is unequaled by any store in the
United States—it having never been
closed during the past thirty-five
years. It is also an accepted fact that
this store has filled more prescriptions
and sold more drugs than any other
store of its kind in the entire South.
Mr. Schott has personal charge of
his mammoth store, although Mr. C. A.
Iludiburg assists him in the manage-
ment of his large business.
Mr. Schott has been foremost in
everything that was for a greater Gal-
veston. He knows Galveston history
by heart, having seen it grow from
infancy to the most marvelous city and
the next largest port in the United
States.

beach races. Visitors bringing their
cars to the carnival and races will be
delighted with the matchless, unob-
structed beach, thirty .miles long, free
from dust and smooth .and hard. The
brick driveway on the Seawall boule-
vard, skirting the gulf, almost five
miles in length, is as fine an automo-
bile course as there is in America.
Attractions.
Free vaudeville features will be on
the daily program.
The committee having special charge
of the poultry and pet stock show, of
which Mr. J. M. Nash is chairman, de-
clare that they will bring to the carr
nival the most complete and perfect
show of its kind that has ever been
exhibited in Galveston. This show will
take place in the poultry building in
the Carnival grounds, and to which
there will be no extra ’ admission
charged. ■
The electrical exhibit, under the di-
rection of Mr. E. B. Harris, will prove
of exceptional merit and interest. A
large space has been set side for this
exhibit, and it bids fair to become one.
of the most interesting, entertaining
and instructive features of the Carni-
val.
The marine exhibit will no doubt
prove highly attractive in every way.
In this exhibit will be found seven
models of the different types of war
vessels in the naval service, which are
valued at more than $20,000. These
models are of the dreadnought Florida,
the battleships Oregon and Maine, pro-
tected cruiser Salem, submarine Hol-
land, torpedo-boat Shubrick and tor-
pedo-boat destroyer Decatur. The ex-
hibit will also contain many models of

Medical College of Nashville, Tenn., Gi W. Hubbard, M. D.,
being the dean of the college, and for whom Dr. Moore
named her sanitarium.
Dr. Moore graduated in 1898 and came to Galveston
and at once began to practice medicine. As a practitioner
she was successful from the very beginning. Her practice
grew so rapidly that in 1902 she built the Hubbard Sani-
manner and was chartered in 1908. The building contains
forty rooms, including two reception parlors, private office,
maternity ward, operating rooms with the most modern
surgical tables and instruments, dry dressing cabinet,
anesthetizing room, surgical pantry, bath room, surgical
wards, etc.
Patients who are cared for at this Sanitarium receive the very best
attention and have every comfort, the charges being from $1.50 to $2.50
par day for each patient. Dr. Moore is assisted in her work by Dr. J. D.
Moore and many other local physicians.
The Hubhard Sanitarium Es located at 4015 Ave. H.

as well as a vast number of interest-
ing relics and articles of different
kinds pertaining to shipping and the
sea.
The art exhibit will be under the
direction of a special committee, of
which Mr. Gus A. Koehler is chairman,
and no effort will be spared to keep
this exhibit up to the high standard
that has been maintained in the past.
Cotton Exhibits.
Harry Hickman, secretary of the
Galveston Cotton Exchange, is chair-
man of the committee having this im-
portant exhibit in charge. Galveston
is the largest cotton port ih the world
and because of that fact and the great
importance of the coton industry,
nothing will be left undone to 'make
this exhibit the most complete, inter-
esting and educational of the entire
carnival. Foreign as well as domestic
cotton will be included.
The exhibit of cottonseed by-prod-
ucts will be in charge of a committee
of which Mr. Carl Eichenberg is chair-
man.

of Messrs. Charles Fowler, L. A. Adoue
and J. E. Kauffman.

tion of W. C. Morris, and that of plants
and flowers is in the hands of Mr. J. D.
Pruessner.

bile racing committee,, but all other

rade and children's, will be looked
after by the committee on parades,

gill, Hoskins Foster, Fred A. Lang-
behn, W. N. Fritter, J. G. Smith, Mar-
ion Douglas, Henry Czorbe and P. B.

man, and Messrs. J. E. Kauffman and
Charles Fowler Jr.
The Carnival committee itself will
look after all trade and domestic ex-
hibits as well as other exhibits and
matters requiring attention.
During the Carnival there will be a
rifle contest on the range located on
the sand fiats east of the seawall. The
■committee in charge of this event is
composed of Captain A. Baushell,
chairman, and Messrs. H. Fraser, Dr. D.
H. Lawrence, Dr. Irvy D. McGlasson
and L. A. Adoue.
The admission to the Carnival and
Exposition has been fixed at the nomi-
nal price of 25 cents for adults and 10
cents for children.
Purposes and Object.
It is, first of all, an exhibit of cotton
from all parts of the world.
It is not given for profit.
It is given by the business men of
Galveston through the medium of the
Galveston Commercial Association.
The objects are education and recrea-
tion.
Texas being the greatest cotton
state and Galveston being its chief
seaport and the greatest cotton port
in the world, it is only appropriate
that the main feature of the Carnival
should he a cotton exhibit. But in ad-
dition there are exhibits of other
things of interest and importance, as
well as automobile races on the beach.
Galveston is the tesort and play-
ground for the whole state of Texas,
and it is therefore appropriate that
there should be parades and other fea-
tures to amuse, as well as instruct, the
visitors to Galveston.
The Galveston Cotton Carnival is a
permanent institution. It is proposed
to enlarge it and make it more com-
prehensive each year.
The Carnival dates fall in the dull
summer season, when vacations and
recreation are most appropriate.
