Wilmington Hanoi. r Turn Yerein
Fine Gymnasium Practice Festlvl
ties Wound up by a Dance-
On the corner of Eleventh and Maiket
streets, at the residence of Mr. John G.
Oldenbuttel, the Wilmington Hanover
Turn Verein have had erected their gjm
nasium. The Wilmington Hanover Turn
Verein was organized in this city on the
22nd of last June, with the following offi
C3rs : Jno G Oldenbuttel, President ; W
H M Koch, Vice President ; J D Klander,
Treasurer ; H Wentzensen, Secretary
an 1 2d Instructor H Hiutze, 1st Instructor
Since then, the Club has rapidly grown
and now numbers thirty-eight members,
as follows :
Honorary Members A Adrian, A C
fl Prempert, John Bauman, F W Heyer
Active Members Martin Rathjen, Jno
G L Gieschen, W Otterson, Chris Hubert,
Chas K'iin, H H Kasprowiez, A C Wei
sell, E W Dosher, F Luhrs, S H Fish
blate, Cfl Stemmerman, F C Miller, G
d Heyer, M Bremer, O V Oeeen, John

Genaust, W F Lessman, W H Gerken,
j'GSteljea, O Westell, Chas Michasen,
J Mohr, Aug Wehrhahn, Cfcjas Stranger-
mah, S Karlsberg, A Bear, H Hiutze.
Last evemns we were present at tne
r
the
second of the public practices and were as
much surprised as pleased to see the
acrobatic feats performed by four of the
members. The frame of the gymnasium is
thirty feet wide by twenty four feet high to
top sili, but forty to top of flag poles.
The gymuasiun was illumiuatod with
Cajnese lanterns and decorated iwith
i 'I
evergreens. From the three flag po'es were
flying the colors of Germany, the UnU
ted States and those of the Hanover Turn
Verein, a red flag with four F's on
it in the shape of a Maltese cress
which is the motto of the Association al
over the country. The uniform of the Club
in this city is white jacket ana pants and
red belt w ith the j words Qut Heil' and
the Maltese cross formed by the four
F's woven in. The gjmnasium is com
plete and is supplied with jumping and
horizontal bars, trapeze, climbing ropes,
winging ropes, ladder,climbiag poles, etc,
At the appointed time Mr.Harman Hintzc
first instructor, led up to the bar follow
ed by Messrs Martin Rathjen, John G L.
Gieschen and Chas Stemmerman. The
'turners' were dressed in the uniform of
j i i
the Club and went through a series of
evolutions which were marvellous when
the short time for training is taking hto
consideration. Many of their acrobatic
feats were " . as handsomely and
as gracefully done as one usu
ally sees by professionals. There are
about twenty very fine "turners'' in the
club, but on account of sickness and other
reasons some of them were not present.
After the gymnasium practices the spec
tators ad 'ourned to the ball room and
. i j
wound up the festivities of the evening
i
by a dance. The hall is over Mr. Olden
buttel's store and is admirably adapted
for dancing. It was decorated with
flags etc. At 12:30 o'clock supper was
announced and Mr. and Mrs. Oldenbuttel
served the guests with a handsome
epilation which was freely partaken of.
The dancing was resumed, the happy
participants keeping it up until the early
dawn, when kind wishes were exchanged
and the party separated to think and
dream of the delightful entertainments of
the Wilmington Hanover Turn Verein.

Twenty six cannon have been taken
from Fort Caswell and placed on scows
to be transported to this city for ship
ment to Philadelphia. Yesterday while
one of the scows was loaded and lying at
the wharf at Caswell it careened and
dumped nineteen ol them into the river,
j ist on the edge of the channel At low
tide they are in eight feet of water. We
could not ascertain, tut suppose an effort
will be made to raiie 'them. It will be a
very difficult j jb on account of the strong
carrent and exposed position. The
guns are said to weigh from 8 to 3 J tons
each.
Personal.
Rev. B. R. Hall, who has for the past
two years served so faithfu ly and ac
ceptably as pastor of the Fifth Street M.
E. Church South, will leave on Satur
day next for his new field of labor at
States ville, to which he haa"teen assigued
by the conference . Mr. Hall, by his
uibanity, courtesy and devotion to the
cause in which he ii engaged has made
many warm friends in this city who will
deeply regret his departure.

James Price, a colored man, met an
other colored man in Paddy 's Hollow last
night and the two got into an alterca
tion when Price struck the other indi
vidual wivh a stick. About this time the
police came along and Price was taken to
the Guard House, but the other party
to the combat took leg ball apd thus es
caped the grip of the law. This morning
the Mayor said, well.one day in the C. P.'

Not to be sed on Christmas.
i
Mayor Fishblate has concluded to revoke
the order leasing the City Hall to the col
ored excursionists from Charleston on
Christmas day. This is done, we believe,
at the solicitation of residents in the vi-
cinity of the City Hall building who com
plain that when the City Hall is used for
a rendezvous by these excursion parties
that there is not much rest and quiet in
the neighborhood, and as Christmas day
is a jollification time generally they fear
there would be less quiet than usual if the
Hall is to be occupied at such a time by
excursion parties. The Mayor has there
ore annulled his former order preventing
the use ofth e Hall.

I j Sampson Fair.
Ediivr Review:
; I promised II would give you a short
description of my trip to Clinton and
tell you about the Fair, &c , &c.
Wednesday I left home and after trav
elling the best road iu North Carolina I
reached Clinton Thursday about 12 m.
On my way I had the pleasure of stop
ping one night with the Messrs-Caldwell,
at Harrell'a store. I found them
clever, enterprising and energetic gentle
men, and successful merchants.
Notwithstanding the ugly rainy weath
er, I foaad a very large crowd at the
'Fair Grounds,' and the exhibition credi"
table indeed, in every department. The
s' ock was especially fiao. Sam j son is noted
for fine cattle and she certainly held her
own this Fair, as I saw some that would
have done honor to the finest Northern
exhibitions. Fine hogs also, SDtne weigh
ing 800 pounds. There might have been
an improvement in horse stock, both in
farm horses and horses for speed.
The ladies' department surpassed all,
everything nice that could be, was nicely
arranged . Bless the ladies; they always
excel in every good work; and at night, at
the ball, I thought I never saw the beauty
of Clinton and surrounding country show
UTEUch advantage; in grace, dignity and
general deportment they were perfect.
It Is a difficult matter to discriminate,
when all did so well, but I cannot but
think that Mr. Willie Hubbard and Miss
Lud e Moseley carried tfl the palm as for
grace and time in the whirl of the wahz,
but all did well, considering the nuusio,
which was not good for a ball room but
made very good field music.
Everyone was well pleased with our
friend, Capt. Df nson ; he delivered a
most excellent address ; one that cannot
fail to do good, but as it will be published,
I'll say noinoie about it. Dr. Paichard
delivered an address, urging upon the peo
pie the necessity of educating tb ir sous
for farmers. His address throughout was
well-timed and well received, and I do
hope will do great good, for that is what
we need educated men.
Col. Pulk spoke to his people on the
necessity ot working ad complimented
them on their exhibition. He is a
favorite everywhere, especially in Clin
ton, I wish we had more Polks in suit
able places, for he is certainly the 'right
man in the right place.'
1 met Judge McKoy and right glad I
was to meet him for there'is no man in
the State that deserves the kind consi
deration of his people more than the
Judge. By the way, did you know they
were speaktDg of h:m as our next Govern
or? I bavej no doubt he would wear
the gnbernitorial honor with as muci
dignity and grace as ariy one. The
viaitors are iodtbteu taall the managers
for their kind consideration, but I would
mention ep daily the President, Col
Ashford, Mejrs Partrick, Willie John
son, Ed Keir and Scott Robinson.
