Cornerstone Celebration Draws San Antonians to Austin
The Licar and San Antonio groups rode six coaches to Austin on the International and Great Northern to witness the capital corner stone laying. A two mile parade featured the San Antonio Rifles and Knights of Pythias amid thousands, with speeches by Governor Ireland and others. A boy was injured by a derrick collapse and fire alarms caused brief commotion as the crowd enjoyed lunches, exhibitions, and visits to Fair grounds before returning.
