STEOTJPE—BOCKAFBLLOW.
Clare lias seldom liad asocial occasion of such general interest as that
of Wednesday morning, when the lives
•:■...■* fortunes of Mr. H. A. Stroupe,
of Manistee, and Miss Carrie Eockafellow of this city, were united by the
solemn words of the clergyman who
pronounced them one. The auspicious
. event took plaee at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.J.C.
jRoekafellow on sixth street, Wednesday morning, September 25th, at 9
o'clock,* inthe presence of about forty
invited guests, the ceremony being
performed by Eev. A, H. Coors of the
*M."E. church.
Promptly at the hour of nine, to the
strains of the wedding march, skillfully played by Miss Ethel Elden, the
bridal party entered the spacious east
room of Mr.Eockafellow's pleasant residence, and the contracting parties
took their places under a beautiful
arch of ferns and flowers, green and
white, which was arranged across the
:*^bow window. The bride was attired
in a brown traveling suit which was
very becoming,, and many were the
compliments her appearance elicited.
The groom wore a morning dress suit.
The marriage was with a ring* after
the beautiful service of the Episcopal
church, tbe circlet being brought
forward at the right moment in a
basket of flowers, by little Susie Eockafellow, niece of the bride, who served
as flower girl on this occasion, there
being no bridesmaids or best man:
.    Her father gaye away the bride.
After the momentous words had
been spoken and.«.the happy couple
showered with congratulations, the
company sat down ,to breakfaso,
which was simply perfect in every
detail, even including the pretty decorations and.favors, and,the five pretty girls that waited, upon the tables.
Mr.-.and Mrs. Stroupe were the recipients of many handsome presents. . A-
mong the guests from abroad were J.
W. Turner and wife, Evart; Mrs. B.
W. G-ale; and-wife, Atlas; Mrs. Susan
Faxrar, Detroit; and Miss ISana Spring,
Harrison.
The newly wedded couple took the
afternoon train east for Detroit and
Pontiac, where they * will remain .a
week or two, after which they will
make their home at Manistee where
Mr. Stroupe holds the responsible position of train dispatcher for the F. &
P. M. railroad.
Mrs.Stroupe grew up from childhood
in this city, is a graduate of our high
school, is active in church and social
matters; and a very wide circle of
friends wish only pleasant sailing for
this newly launched matrimonial
craft. _____
LOWERY—"DOWD.
An unusually pleasant occurrence
was the marriage, Wecl nesday-morning,
at 11 o'clock, of Miss Julia Dowd to
James Lowery, both of Grant Township. The happy event took place at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lew Baker,
where the bride had made her home
for some time. The ceremony was
performed by Eev. A. H. Coors in his
ever felicitous manner. The bride
was attired very becomingly in light
cashmere with white silk trimming,
while the groom wore the conventional black. After the nuptial vows had
been taken, the guests to the number
of about forty, partook of a very
tempting repast that was in readiness.
The happy couple took the Ann Arbor
train at 3 o'clock for Lansing, where
they will be absent a week or more in
attendance at the Adventist camp
meeting. The presents on this occasion were numerous and appropriate.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowery are well-known
young people, the bride being a daughter of Peter F. Powd. The well wishes
of a host of friends go with them.
That Evart Tournament.
The Evart Eeview takes this apparently very fair view of the base ball
fiasco at that place two weeks ago:
' 'The decision of those in*charge of
the base ball tournament in giving
out the prizes has caused much dissatisfaction to the contributors of the
funds. The trouble has been with (1)
the management in arrangement of
games, by which all clubs were not
given an equal show for the prizes,and
(2) the failure to live up to an agreement on the part of a club. Eeed City
and LeEoy played together Wednesday, Clare and Evart should have
played also, but Glare was not present;
Clare was present Tnursday and werg*
scheduled to playjdth Evart at 1 o'clock, but instead, Evart played with
Eeed City and Clare with LeEoy. This
was the most serious mistake, as it
shattered the program and lead to the
serious trouble the following day. The
question then arose what arrangement
could be concocked to straighten out
the entanglement, Eepresentabives
of the four clubs met Thursday night,
and agreed that Eeed City, they having won two games, should have first
money, that Evart and Clare should
play Eriday morning, the winner to
I play LeEoy to decide the second and
third prizes. The first was won by
Clare, then the LeEoy manager absolutely refused to play his team, claiming they had already won the second
money, Clare was on the ground at 2
o'clockr the time set for the afternoon
game, waited until 2:30, an umpire
was appointed by one who thought he
had authority, who called the game,
no opnosing team appearing in about
15 minutes, the game was decided in
favor of Clare. A part of the Clare
club being anxious to get home, and in
interest of economy for the management of the tournament, they decided
to go home on the three o'clock train.
At this time word was brought that
the LeEoy team was coming, but the
Clare club had packed up, and did not]
turn back, went to their hotel and the
train. The LeEoy team went to the
grounds, played an exhibition game
With Evart, and was given second
prize.
Clare team was at fault in hot being
at the tournament the first day, but
as they could not be here, they did not
intend to come. By solicitation of the
manager of the tournament, a telegram was sent by citizens urging them
to some, which practically waived
their default for not appearing at the
first game, and they had all -the rights
enjoyed by the other clubs. The disarrangement of the schedule Thursday was none of their arrangements.
The agreement entered upon Thursday night as to the Eriday program
was opposed by the Clare manager,
but they were willing to abide by the
majority rule, and we think the act in
shutting, them out from a pTize and
giving it to a cl lb which did not stick
to its agreement by refusing to play
ball, was wrong and does not reflect
credit upon the tournament management nor upon the town."

THE CLE:
THEY PLAYED A   TIP-TOP    GAME   OF
*- BALL,   TDESDAY.
O	
IT WAS   AN   EVEN   CONTEST   TO   T.
VERY   LAST.
THE   EAST   SIDE WERE   WINNERS   BY
ONE   SCORE..
The East Side and West Side clerks-
played a close and exciting game of
ball at the park, Tuesday afternoon,
some of it being real good ball, too.
About six on each side had had some
experience on the diamond, and showed it plainly, though out of practice.
Clark Giberson and Perce Louch occupied the points for the east side
counter jumpers, while Emerson Orth
and Clyde Harris performed the same
service for the other side of the street
All four of them did good work and
much of the nice playing of the game
goes to their credit.
The regular umpire not putting in
an appearance, E. D. Palmer was given the pleasant (?) job, running imminent risk of being mobbed two or
three times before the game was
closed.
The game was so intensely interest-
j'ing that our reporter spent his time
yelling instead of writing up the fine
points of the game. When he wasn't
bursting his lungs in appreciation of a
grand stand play, he was kept busy
trying to break up some of the half-
dozen fights that might be seen going
on at almost any stage of the game
just outside the ropes among the
"kids." Yes, it was an exciting game
and the excitement was as contagious
as chicken pox in a country school,
When the game was called, the delegation in the grand stand was quite
small, but caliope voices of a few
cranks present soon brought the crowd
together, like the cawing of the crows.
The West side clerks took the bat
first and got two run's. Then the
East side went them one better. The
west took a cipher and the east four,
making two to seven. But the contingent of the setting sun were game
and hept right at it, making three in
the third, which was duplicated by
the e'astern stars in their hall The
occidentals took a spurt, and before
the enemy could get the third man
corraled, had piled up seven runs. The
great easterns could only get four in
their half. In the fifth one went to
the west and three to the east. Then
Art Stevens' aggregation of hired men
went at the ball as if they intended to
knock the stuffing out of it, and when
the scorers took an inventory there
were five more runs on the slate. And
to make matters more discouraging
for the orientals they were not allowed to see home plate in their half.
The result so far was, East 17, West
18. An agonized look came upon the
faces of Manager Maynard's men.
Pitcher G-iberson began to puff and assume a forced calm- Pitcher Orth
smiled blandly and looked confiden"t.
In the seventh, neither side scored.
In the eighth, the west side took
another goose egg and the. east-wriggled in one run,tying the game. In
the ninth, the west scored one,leading
by one, but when the east came in for
their turn they secured two runs, winning by score of 20 to 19.

In the evening a very pleasant party
of the clerks and their best girls sat
down to   an elegant  supper at the
