all manner of comments, ,exclamations
and enquiries as to tue grand perform
tancei No one could enter the church
but those having tickets, and s,fll Police
men at he doors were besieged for adj ]
mission with as much pertinacityss as if
life depended on getting inside, but il
was in vain. Among the favored ones
at the Church were Aa9arge number Of
distinguished military, naval and lite
rary gentlemen, and prominent men of
the city. The bridesmaids were Miss
Oralie Matilda Bartlett, Miss Mary
Stark, Miss N. Il. Parker, Miss Man

Don Juan Entenza, Senior r. Sovine.

placed it on the middle finger Of the
brides left hand. The Archbishop ad-

they were indissolubly united together,
and that they never could be divorced
withthe sanctionaof the Catholic Church.
He also referred to the double marriage
they had talked Of, and said it was use
less; that they could not be half married
in one church and half in another; that
the present marriage was final 81

the sidewalk, when the boys made them-
selves Infinitely merry at the expense of
the finely dressed gentlemen There
was almost as much difficulty in getting
out Of the church as in, the crowd press
ed around so close. But the bride sue
ceeded in floating to her carriage, fol-
lowed BY the divinites who were her COM
panions, and the briadal party drove Of,
in closed carriages, and were soon LOST, in
the glitter and hustle Of the crowded
