stood that the wedding was to be conducted in •
very quiet manner, but owing to the (Air bride being
a great favourite in Morayshire, and the respect enter-
tained for her graodfatber, more than the usual interest
wu manifested by the ioliabitante. The church was crowded
to excess before the arrival of the wedding party. The
bride was attended to the altar by Miss Gordon Commies,
Miss Nisbet-Hamilton, Miss Louise Forbes, and Miss 0
weld (of Dunikier), aa bridesmaids ; and Lord Thurlow
officiated as groomsmen to his brother. The Right Rev.
the Bishop of Brecon (cousin of the bride), assisted by the
Rev. E. H. Owen, performed the nuptial rite. The bride
was given away by Major Cumming Bruce, M.P., her ma-
