The ball club had engaged quarters

who was under the guidance OF friend
Delaney, took passage on board n

We remark that M good street Tampa

HOMAGE no HEApCENTER PADDOCK.
In the morning We found stlti, cool
breeze blowing from the north, that
sent the dust whirlng In every direc-
ton. Our first visit was to Paddock,
but Paddock wasn't TO be seen. He
was az home receiving company. Miss
Paddock arrived the night before, and
claimed the exclusive attention OF he
head OF the establishment. Paddock
not only does all he can for his town
with his paper, but he is, also, 30 anx-
ious to approach Dallas In point OF
population, that he has directed his
personal efforts to that end. We con.

A RAMBLE THROUGH THE TOWN.
Many old acquaintance met us on
the streets, and In fact we seemed
quite ut home. The object dearest to
every Fert Worth man, is that court
house. II is nearly finished and will
soon be- ready for occupancy. Its style
OF architecture is somewhat mixed.
The contractor told US, confidential.
ly,n that twenty-five different plans
were submitted, and as 1t was difficult
to make choice OF any one, the coun.
ty concluded to adopt little OF each,
hence n structure has been erected
which seems to the uninitiated
to be cross between Chi
nese joss house and balloon.
Flfty.hve thousand dollars Is the
figure. In justice, we must say, 1t will
be comfortable, commodious, and n
slightly building. We met Major Fair
fax and Colonel Bay (the latter is the
mayor, and by them we were shown
the new hotel, which will be ready for
guests about July. 1t IL q handsome,
large and well arranged building,
brick front, facing two sides OF
square, and has handsome mansard
roof, with dormer windows. 1t Is
owned by stock company, and VIII
be conducted by Major Fairfax. We
were met by delegation OF citizens,
who, with onions to their eyes, con-
duntpd ia In tha anOt
"wHERE THE PANTHER LIES BURIED"
but they have the consolation OF know
ing that there was plenty OF room for
him to lie down. The town Is badly
scattered, local jealousies being the
cause. The subject of water works Is
being discussed, and, the Lord knows,
it is needed bad enough to keep down
the Internal dust, which fills your eyes
and nose at every turn. The citizens
are continually trying to keep II out of
their threats by washing ii down with
certain fluids, water excepted.
The new military company, the Tar
rant Rifles, are organized and have
their guns. They give q dramatic en-
tertainment tomorrow night, "Streets
of New York." to raise funds for their
uniforms. We were informed that
they intended sending the Lamar
Rifles an invitation to come over and
give them an exhibition drill In short
time.
THE BALL GAME
was the theme OF conversation all over
town. Many thought that Dallas had
imported lot OF professionals, and
were In doubt of the success Of their
home nine. AS the hoIr drew near
for the game, numbers Of spectators
were seen vending their way to the
grounds. BY half-past one, fully four
hundred spectators, large sprinkling
OF them ladies, were on the grounds.
Mr.. John Hogan, of Dallas, was chosen
umpire, and at quarter to two, the
game was called, and the Fort Worth
nine went to the bat.
First Inning-Williams opened the
ball for the Fort, by getting retired or
first base. Brown took the willow
and sent fly, which Drew gobbled
Dallas then hit to the first base, and
was nipped by Flynn, while trying u
steal second. First whitewash FOL
Fort Worth.
Myers then stepped up for Dallas
hit short, but got life by the firs
baseman mufllng, and ran home oil
the error. First tally for the Starr
Young retired on first, followed b
Flynn, when Kelly was put out on
handsome foul-catch by Williams.
Second Inning.-Fort Worth mad
