A SURRENDER.
A Martial Occurrence Arranged for
Camp Graham.
An Attack to be Made on the Fencibles.
Young Ladies' VIII Take the Soldiers by
storm-something New.

Any person passing by the old tennis grounds
at the foot Of Lamar street between and 9
O'Clock in the evening and casually glancing at
what he would see there, would probably go
away with the impression that the yankees are
upon us, or something of that sort.
But such Is not the case. Although every
thing in the neighborhood wears a martial and
warlike appearance no ssnguinary conflict is
anticipated. although it is on the tapis that m
encounter of an altogether peaceable and har-
mouious kind will soon occur.
The Fort Worth Fencibles are now in posses
sion of Camp Graham. Before the break Of day
and long after the shades of night have fallen,
by the glare of an electric light the indefatiga-
Bile Capt. W. B. Ford drills his enth siastic
TO oP periec. rendition Of the military code; until
now it is safe to predict that the Fort Worth
Fencibles are in shape to give pointers to any
company that enters against them for interstate
honors at the Atlanta encampment.
But there are other things besides proficiency
in the manual and general drill that give q
company prominence among number OF mill
tary aggregations. The equipments and the
condition thereof are matters Of moment, as
they count largely in the awarding of premi-
INNS. and owing to unmerited lack
of public appreciation Of their deserts. coupled
with somewhat strained policy on the part of
the state in regard to the expenditures for vol
equipped with all the accoutrements essential to
creditable showing in an interstate encamp-
ment.
A flag in fact is one OF the prime needs Of any
military company; and though such an article
may not count for much in the eyes Of civilian
it is part of the necessary equipment Of COM
pany and-it cost7 money.
The Fencibles have active friends among the
ladies, fortunately.
And on the evening of Friday, September zS,
the lady friends of the Fencibies will give at
Camp Graham an ice cream benefit to the COM
pany.
The affair has Leen worked up with the utmost
care as to all details. The following ladies will
have charge Of the refreshments; Mrs. DeFor-

Another Ocean Race.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Another race across the
ocean. begins tomorrow morning when the
White Star steamship Teutonic and Inman line
City of New York depart on their regular trips
to the Eastward. The City of New York
Will sail promptly at O'Clock in the morning
and the Teutonlc will follow half an hour later.
They should go to sea, and the race will be q
close one. The Teutonic IS naturally a favorite,
being the victor in the run westward, but the
difference of few hours is SO slight that
1T is quite possible she in turn will be
beaten. At all events the two steamers are
just evenly enough matched to create n o end OF
interest. and there is some little speculation on
the result, both among q ,sengers who will sail
on them and among steamship men in this city.

A Count in Trouble.

Special to the Gazette.
BERLIN, Sept. 16.-The arrest Of the So called
Count Cammerer and his incarceration in the
Moabite prison, on a charge OF manslaughter,
is greatly exciting sporting circles. 1t appears
that the prisoners real name is Count Won
KleIst, and that he resides at 10 Altmoabin
strnsse. The cause of the trouble was the re-
fusal OF a porter Of the hotel passage to admit
him, he was accompanied by strange
woman. The count attempted to settle the
matter by rushing past the servant, but this led
to an encounter on the stairs, during which
the count threw the porter over the ballister.
The unfortunate man fell heavily to the stone
floor below, and, being internally injured, lay
in an unconscious condition for several hours.
AS the count is one of the best known sporting
men in Berlin his present predicsment is the
talk of the capital.

can be figured, how much of this is due to
