Al an early hour great crowds began TO ar.

Prince and Houston streets on the south and
north. and Mott and Mulberry streets on the
east ana west, were completely blocked nm
with carriages, while the sidewalks were II =
orally packed by people, who stood as thick as
herrings in barrel, rendering locomotion All
most an impossibility Every window and
crowded by anxious spectators, many Of whom
could not indulge the faintest hope of catch
ing even a glimpse of the ''happy couple"
As the hour of twelve approached it was
found to be impossible for another person to
enter the Cathedral, which was already filled
to oyerfowing, while several times the num-
ber-many of whom had tiekets-had to make
up their minds to remain outside.
The general public, who had tickets of ad-
mission, entered through the front on Main
Mott street, while the entrance for the bridal
party and their more intimate friends, was on
Mulberry street. On both streets, a number
of police, belonging to the Fourteenth Pre-
cinct, were on duty to preserve order, and
among them We're several detectives, who
were given orders to pay especial attention TO
the gentlemen of the conveyancing fraternity.
The eorder OF the entrance of the bridal party
was this: First the six bridesmaids and
groomsmen drove up in quick succession, and
as each left her carriage a hurrah from the
crowd outside testified the admiration which
their appearance excited; then Mrs. Bartlett
and Mr.. Oyiedo came together, and lastly, the
bride with her father, Capt. Bartlett. The
bridal party were met by the Archbishop and
two other prelates, who, preceding them, went
immediately into the Cathedral, and the cere-
mOny commenced.
The groom was dressed in black, with splen-
didiy embroidered white vest and cravat The
bride wore white silk covered by two deep
fiounces of Point de Brurs!teS, and veil of the
same elegant lace over her head the wreath of
orange blossoms combining it on her head
Four rows of orient pearls were around her
throat, with clasp in front of diamonds; and
earrings of two immense pearls forming each,
and broche of diamonds and pearls similar
to the clasp, completed her Jewels.
Immediately behind the bridal pair stood
her father and mother, the latter attired in

applique, head dress of pink roses and rich
Jewels.
The groomsmen were by the groom the six
bridesmaids by the bride, her sister being near
est, ana wearing rich pearls also around her
neck. The dresses were made exactly alike, of
Whlte tarletane, double Jnpe, with four puffings
on the under skirt, and six on the uDDer-of
alternate white and colored Mule--the berthe to
suit, and the wreaths and bouquets also. Two
of the bridesmaids were all in white, two in
blue and white, and two in cerise and white.
The Iong-expected and much talked of cere-
moDy took place punctnally at the hour; the
bridal cortege arriving at the private door was
eheered by the outside crowds, the bride enter
ing on the arm of her father, and the mother
escorted by the groom. There We're six brides
maids, some of them Spanish, as We're also
some of the groomsmen. The outside crowd
rose as the Archbishop entered, and remained
standing while he was publicly robsd The
violet cassock was covered with sumptuous
gold and white satin. He placed his mitre on
his head, wore his emerald ring, and bore his
croZier. The party knelt, while the organ
pealed out a solemn strain, and very seldom
has more imposing pageant been displayed
in this metropolis. The throng indoors was
prodigious, filling every nook and Granny of
the vast Cathedral, galleries, aisles and organ
lof presenting one mass of faces; ladies of high
fasb3on stood upon the seats; others surround
ed the bridal party; many persons of distinc-
ton were present At last the hum of voices
ceased, and the short ceremony was performed.
After short address by Archbishop Hughes,
the party dispersed, and the ''happy eouple''
retired
