Notes Of The Came

Bobby Allen held first for the home
team having ten chances and no errors.
Kolar the new third baseman was in
the game at all stages and we predict
he will fill long felt want on the in
field.
Moore easily carried off the batting
honors making two, two baggers out Of
three times at bat.
Another game with Oelwein ought to
be drawing card for the baseball as
socistiou.
The game was stopped for half hour
after two men were out in the last half
of the 9th, after which Manchester bat
ted in the winning run.

a Beautiful Wedding Ceremony.

eSSessASAAssA SOASeAASAAys
Last Wednesday evening the Con
gregational church of this city was I'LL
ed with an expectant and happy assem-.
blage Of people. The church was elab
orately and appropriately decorated
with flowers and ribbons and banks OF
ferns and other vernal plants.
On account of the sterling character
and true worth of Hugo Adolph Won
Oven and Sarah Ethel Seeds their mar
risge had been looked forward to as an
auspicions occasion by the people OF
Manchester. At the appointed hour
8 o'clock, Rev. b. w. futile came out
of the vestry and walked round in front
of the altar, where few moments later
the impressive and charming wedding
ceremony was performed. The groom
accompanied by his brother, Oscar E.
Won Oven, came next, entering from
the altar vestibule. The many voices
of the great pipe organ filled the audi
forum with the strains of wedding
march. Slowly and silently the bridal
procession advanced through the aisles
from the front entrance, lead by two
little flower girls, Florence Lindsay and
Mildred Brown. The flower girls were
followed by the bridesmaids, Misses
Alma Leroy, Henrietta Beehler, Irene
Jones and Cordelia Riddell, of Decatur,
Illinois, and the ushers Messrs. F. b.
Blair, E. II. Hoyt, G. L. Leigh and B.
F. Miles. Miss Bertha Seeds, sister Of
the bride, was the maid of honor. The
bride, accompanied by her father,
Judge E. p. Seeds, came last, advsnc-
ing slowly to their place in front of the
officiating clergyman. Everything was
now in readiness for the words which
would unite the happy couple for life in
the holy bonds of matrimony. The
bride and her maids and the ushers were
richly costumed, and standing as they
did in front of the great bank of flowers
and vernal decorations they made an
ideal marriage picture. The business
and cares of the day were forgotten by
those in the pews, and, if we mistake
not, there welled up in the hearts of all
present prayer for the future happi.
ness of the contracting couple. The
ceremony was in keeping with the
grandeur of the surroundings. The
ring used was an heirloom, the wed
ding ring of the brides great grand.
