A New York dispatch announces the marriage of Miss Helen Dauvray, the actress, and John M Ward, short-stop of the New York Base-Ball Club. Miss Dauvray was generally supposed to bo ill and resting quietly in the oountry. She had disbanded her company for the season a few weeks ago, on account, as it was generally given out, of illhealtn. At the commencement of the present base-ball season Miss Dauvray developed a sudden passion and enthusiasm for base-ball. She became a fixture at the polo grounds and rarely missed a game. Indeed, it was said that on two occasions she traveled from Long Brancn and Saratoga to see her favorite club play ball. So pronounced did her feelings grow that she had a handsome silver trophy made at a cost of <SOO to be presented to the champion club at the close of the season. The emblem of base-ball supremacy is now known as the Dauvray Cup. If Capt. John Ward was the object or Miss Dauvray’s regard and admiration at this time, the fact was certainly not developed.
