THE TOURNAMENT OF THE FKENEN OF THE
SOUTHEASTERN PART OF ONO.
II the sun shines this morning there will
be thousands of happy people in Bellaire.
The little city has been busily engaged for
the past two days arranging for the State
Tournament of the tiremen The weather
yesterday made the boys feel little blue,
but they have hopes of clear weather TO-
day and tomorrow. Along with the -
companies that Will parade there will be
sin or eight secret societies in line. The
hremen think there will be l 800 TO 1000
people in the parade. The Wooster fire
companies arrived yesterday. They have
"a sporting truck, a service truck and u
hose reel The truck of the Rescue Com
pany, of New Philadelphia. and ore or two
others, arrived last night. The rest will be
here this morning. The fremen of Marietta
Will come up via the Ohio River Railroad,
arriving at 1920. The parade will hard
ly move before noon, although it is adver-
tiscd 20 take place an hour sooner. The
Martins Ferry fire department will attend
the tournament both days. They have
come 10 the conclusion TO enter the races,
using the Third ward reel, their new one
not arriving in time on account of the
strike of the New York Central railroad,
and we can look for them giving a good
account Of themselves and making some OF
them hustle TO beat them. The hotels and
boarding houses have made arrangements
10 take care of several thousand strangers
to-day and tomorrow Arrangements have
been made so that uOn-residents will
be served meals cheaper than the usual
prices. The work of decorating the bus
mess portion of the city will be quite lively
this morning, rs the weather interfered
with the making of display last night.
Most all the windows of the business
houses wear polished appearance, and
the streets are in good condition for the
event. The coffee stand erected by the
W G.. Il. L. will check baggage for visitors
for IA nominal FEE and thus save strangers
the necessity of guarding unnecessary lug
gage. The Darktowu Brigade will be one
Of the amusing features of the parade.
