THE MACCABEES
in-ieir Thirteenth. Aioiiversary at
Farwell was a Great Suesess*
"Tk© Citizens of Farwell did Them*
s©l*^©& Great Credit—Clare Enii-
gra^ed to Farwell, Tuesday—the
E"s.©r^sises "were Excellent.
TuesSay was an ideal day for a cele-
'bration—no rain and the temperature
favorable to the lemonade trade. Harwell -hatS labored zealously to prepare
."toreceivein a fitting manner the hundreds of knights and ladies of the Mac-
tcabees and their friends, and succeeded admiiably.   All the towns within a
-reasonable distance of Farwell were
well represented, and the pretty village was fairly well filled with visitors.
Glare turned out en masse,   partly
because the local tent of K. O. T. M.
and:L. O. T. M. had  hustled- around
some, but more because the citizens as
a whole were desirous of taking the opportunity to pay a visit to their sister
.town in return for several visits received of late from Farwell.*   The
shearty manner in which the compliment was returned is apparent when
"it is learned that not less than 400 per-
" sons bought tickets from Clare to Far-
well, while it is estimated that 150 to
200 more from Clare and vicinity went
by private conveyance.   Clare turned
out handsomely and was as handsomely received.
Bowries, lemonade stands and dining- halls were numerous along1 Main
street, and, together with the single
saloon, furnished all the solid and liquid refreshment a big crowd desired.
Three big double arches spanned
Main street, whieh, with the evergreen
decorations seen everywhere, gave the
town a gala day appearance.
The program was well carried .out
and was attentively listened to. There
were speeches, music and drills by the
children.
The business session was well attended, and resulted in the selection
of Mt. Pleasant as the place for next
year's convention, although Evart had
a very strong vote. Cadillac also
•wanted the honor. It was held at
- Q1&X& last year.
In the afternoon there were two ball
games. The first one, between Evart
and Farwell Juniors, was very well
played and resulted in a score of 6 for
Evart and 5 for Farwell. On a good
field the result would probably have
been the same but the score would
have been much larger, as the ground
is very new and not only prevented
sharp base running but balls struck to
the ground fell dead in the light soil
and instead of spinning along for several rods would hardly go as many
feet. The crowd was very enthusiastic and cheered both sides repeatedly.
It was unfortunate, however, that the
ground was so limited that the spectator's ropes were so near the base lines,
the first base being within twelve feet
of the ropes, and every ball that passed
the first baseman went into the crowd.
This very thing caused trouble in the
second game. The absence of any authority for keeping the -ei*owd off the
diamond during the game will probably be remedied in futur-e.
The second game was between the
Farwell and Clare senior nines. It
would have been an interesting game
under any circumstances, but several
"events that occurred during its progress made it positively-exciting.
Louch and Hutchison were battery
for Clare, and Decker aad Daugherty
for Farwell. Both pitchers did some
good work, but either Louch is much
the more effective of the two or else
the Clare nine are unusually strong
ibatters; perhaps both things are true.
At any rate, Louch struck out 8 men
and Decker none, although he would
have been credited with one strike-out
had the catcher held the third strike.
There were one'three-bagger and three
two-baggers made off Decker and one
two-bagger off Louch. 'Daugherty did
not support behind the bat as well as
common, owing to a poor mit. Hutchison did not do as well asssual, owing
to lack of practice.
In the field, however, Farwell was
far superior to Clare, and. won the
game by it- The Clare niiae will have
to get oat and run off a little grease if
they expect to get any games this
season. There were enough files and
thrown Mils muffed,, wild throws and
fumbles, t® lose half a dozea games.
Clare mm& to bat and jpiaaded out
■-two earned runs in the first half.   By
-a combination of hits and esrors Farwell got in four rans in their laalf.
Clare got in another in the leeond
Mter two wsja were ©at, aacl ITacwelL
scored three more.
In the third and fourth Clare handled the stick to good effect getting in
a total of eight runs. They had begun to play ball in the field, too, and
Farwell club was given two white
washes, the score standing, at the
close of the fourth, Farwell 7 and
Clare 11.
Glare failed to score again during
the game, except in the eighth innings, when four runs were made. In
the fifth, a few good hits by Farwell
and numerous errors by Clare, gave
the former five runs. They added
another in the seventh and two in the
ninth, tieing the score at 15 apiece.
The tenth inning, was necessary to decide the game. Clare had the first bat
but failed to score, although one man
got to second base. Farwell got in
one run after two men were out and
the game closed, Farwell 16, Clare 15.
There were several unfortunate occurrences during the progress of the
game that destroyed the good feeling
that had existed between the two
clubs, and for which one or two members of the Clare club were wholly at
fault, but which, if rightly understood,
should cause no permanent ill-feeling.
The first of these occurred in the second innings. Maynardhit a ball to
the in field and ran for first base. Tess
Louch for Clare was coaching him and
when the ball was fielded to first base
Louch ran into the diamond between
that base and the thrown ball, interfering with Honeywell, the first baseman for Farwell, in putting Maynard
out at first. It was an unwarranted
interference and justly brought down
the censure of the whole crowd, Clare
people and all, upon the action, and no
one felt worse about it after the game
was over than Louch himself.
From that time forward sympathy
was almost wholly with Farwell, and
every move on the part of Clare, that
could be so construed, was considered
as "playing dirt."
In the fifth innings trouble arose
again. But this time not because of a
real interference but because of a fancied interference. VanBrunt for Clare
hit one to the field which was thrown
to Honeywell at first, but was missed
and the ball went into the crowd,
which was within a few feet of first
base. Bogardus was coaching and followed the ball, not to interfere with
it, but to prevent any of the crowd
from throwing it in to assist the other
side. This was entirely right. But
Honeywell naturally and excusably believed he was attempting another interference, and not seeing the ball
himself, shoved Bogardus aside and
then the two grappled. Had others
kept their hands off no trouble would
have followed, but the crowd and the
ball players took a hand in it, and
though only one or two unimportant
blows were struck, excitement and bad
feeling ran so high that it was with
much difiSculty that the game was resumed.
There were two or three other cases
of interference by one of the Clare
nine, that has the disapproval of not
only Clare people and players but of
the offender himself now that all is
over, and of which he was never known
to be guilty before. These later interferences probably would not have been
so much thought of had not feeling
already been wrought so high.
"We have detailed these matters at
some length, not as any excuse for the
offenses, but that it might be seen
that no blame should be attached to
the Clare club as a whole. And it
should be distinctly understood that
no blame should attach to Honeywell
or to any other member of the Farwell
team, who played clean ball all
throagh, and it is to be hoped that no
Clare player will in any future game
bring discredit upon the club or the
town by any such practices as those of
Tuesday. Let us play clean ball or
none.   The score was
Farwell—4 30050102 1—16.
Clare    —2 13500040 0—15.

CENSUS FIGURES.
Figures are not always interesting,
but those below will be read with interest and doubtless be preserved for
reference and comparison. They were
taken from the census report of the
city of Clare which was completed
this morning. There is a slight falling
off im the total population, owing entirely to the removal of transients,
and amounts to perhaps 1G© or 125.

John Brown, formerly of Meredith,
but now a farmer across the line in
•Isabella county, was married Monday,
June 11, in this city, to Miss Matilda
LaMontof Saginaw. Justice Mclntyre tied the knot that made them
one. We understand that Mr. and
Mrs. Brown were given a serenade that
evening.
It has been suggested that at tbe
time of the 4th of July celebration at
Harrison, a Clare county pioneer or
historical association be formed. The
idea is a good one and has been advocated heretofore in this paper. The
early pioneer history of this county is
as interesting as'that of any part of
the state and those who can aid most
in making it authentic and reliable
will soon pass away.
Children's Day exercises in the several churches, Sunday, were quite elaborate and were largely attended. At i
the Congregational church the younger
members of the school gave a program
in the morning and the adults in the
evening. The exercises at the M. E.
church in the evening were given to a
program of song and recitation and
were listened to by a crowded house.
The Baptist school had the church
beautifully decorated and presented a
very interesting program in the morning. Miss Wadsworth's sermons both
morning and evening were Quite instructive and were listened to with
deep interest.
Wm. Boss took the Sbntihbl scribe
a few days ago to see the fruit he is
raising in his garden on 5th street. If
he will do the same thing again after
the fruit ripens, we will do the rest.
Mr. Ross has demonstrated fully that
Clare is located in as productive a
"fruit belt" as any place on the much
advertised west shore. He has perhaps 30 trees of different fruits near
his house, including pear, peach, plum,
mulberry, cherry and apple trees, as
well as some choice grapes and strawberries. The trees are heavily bearing
■every year. This is because he gives
them attention and does not allow his
■trees to exhaust themselves any one
year "by over bearing, but removes a
part of the green fruit before it is very
far advanced. He pointed out to us
two plum trees which occupied perhaps two square rods of ground that
net him more e¥-ery year than an acre
of w^eat or a^uarter of an acre of po»
tatoss would do. We are convinced
that a frnlt tsam in Clare county
wostclpaj better tifcan an orange grove
a.
Miss May Ward spent the week at

Miss Lillie Converse closed, last Friday, another successful term of school
at Dodge. She will attend the normal

* Mrs. Jas. Johnson and children returned to Saginaw, Tuesday, after a
visit of several weeks with her daughters, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Gerren.

bought land for farms as advertised in
the SehttneIi by Brown & Bliss at
Beayerton. Of these, fourteen have

laurate sermon before the graduates
of the high school at Doherty opera
house.
D. E. Alward has retired from the
secretaryship of the wooden ware company and will open an office down town

HO, FOR HARRISOICo
Our Sister City Will Celeteate the Fourth
of July isi the Old. Fashioaed Way.
We are pleased to announce that
Clare citizens will not need to go out
of the county to celebrate the ever
glorious Fourth. Harrison is making
preparations to make the eagle scream
in the most approved fashion, and,
since Clare has failed to do anything!
in that direction this year, it would
be a most becoming thing for all our
citizens en masse to emigrate to Harrison on that occasion, and in the most
hearty manner reciprocate, so far as
possible, the numerous visits and
eourtesies of the county seat people on
former occasions.
