The trousseau of the bride is said to have
consisted of some eighty dresses, which cost
on an average about $500 each, besides the
bridal dress, which cost over $4,000. For
the pair of diamonds that confined the bridal
veil, says the Post, the sum of $4,000 was
paid on delivery. The lace and veil of the
bridal dress cost over $4,000. There were
six bridesmaids and six groomsmen, and the
bride with her father entered the space in
front of the alter first, after which came the
bridegroom with the mother of the bride,
and then the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
The bride, who looked as beautiful as an
hour, wore magnificent dress of white
satin, which was almost concealed beneath
the deep founces of point lace. A veil Of
the same elegant lace, fastened on her head
by the customary orange blossoms, fell
around her; a necklace OF pearls encircled
her throat she wore a SPLENDID brooch of
pearls ind diamonds, and a pair of magnii-
cent pearl earrings completed the bridal
dress. In her hand she had fan of point
lace, adorned with pearls and diamonds.
She approached the altar leaning on her
fathers arm, while the bridegroom and Mrs.
Bartlett walked together. Mrs. Bartletts
dress was white MORE antique, trimmed
with white hounces She wore headdress
of pink flowers, mixed with jewels. Capt.
Bartlett was in civilians dress. The bride
groom wore black coat, a richly embroid.
cred white vest, and white gloves the
grOomsmeD were attired in the same man
ner, and some, if not all, had boquet of
small white flowers and white ribbons in
their button hole. They ranged themselves
by the side of the groom. The bridesmaids
wore dresses of white tarletan with double
skirt, trimmed with three or four rows of
putting on the upper and lower jupe. Two
of the bridesmaids were dressed in entire
white, and two in cherry color and white.
Their dresses cost only about 500 each.
Their headdresses consisted of flowers, the
colors chosen being white, red and blue, to
suit the dresses, and perhaps from a patri
otto love of the national cOlOrs. They took
their station by the bride.
Long before the hour for the marriage
ceremony took place, the Cathedral began
to fill up with those entitled to admission,
Policemen being about the doors to pre-
serve order, and carriages being required to
approach the Cathedral from one street and
depart by another,so as to prevent confusion.
The crowd of outsiders who collected on the
sidewalks, in the streets, at the windows of
houses, and even upon the tops of houses
surrounding the Cathedral, assembled with
a natural curiosity to catch glimpse at so
much splendor and beauty, was immense,
and was estimated at from 5000 to 10000
human beings, to say nothing of the laby-
rinth of drays and carts of all descriptions
that stood off at respectful distance.
The sidewalk committee was in its glory
and whiled away the time with all manner
of comments, EXPLANATIONS and inquiries as
to the grand performance. No one could
enter the Church but those having tickets,
and still Policemen at the doors were be-
sieged for admission with as much pertina>
city as if lite depended on getting inside,
but it was in vain. Among the favored
ones at the Church were large number Of
distinguished military, naval and literary
gentlemen, and prominent men of the city.
The bridesmaids were Miss Oralie Matilda
Bartlett, Miss Mary Stark, Miss N. L.
Parker, Miss Mannela Yzquierdo, Miss
Drusia West, and Miss Rowland. The
groomsmen were Senior R. Herques, Count
Miranda, Don Juan Entenza Senior r.
Sovine, Senior S. Del Pozo, and Mr.. Carson.
Archbishop Hughes performed the Ger
emory, addressing Senior in Spanish who
replied in the same language. He then
sprinkled them with holy water, and blessing
the ring which the groom had placed upon
the book, the groom placed it on the middle
finger of the brides left hand. The Arch
bishop addressed some singular remarks to
them after the ceremony, reminding them
that they were indissOubly united together,
and that they never could be divorced with
the sanction of the Catholic Church. He
also referred to the double marriage they
had talked of, and said it was useless that
they could not be halfmarried in one church
and half in another that the present mar
riage was final. aEa s...t - '..a r..
Those who had tickets of admission
marked with red B, were not so favored
as those with blue B, and good many of
the former could not get in, for the jam in
side, but they had to stand out on the side
walk, where the boys made themselves inf
nitely 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 pressed around so close.
But the bride succeeded in floating to her
carriage, followed by the divnites who were
her companions, and the bridal party drove
of, in closed carriages, and were soon lost
in the glitter and hustle of the crowded
Broadway. The Herald reporter had a red
B, and is quite facetious over the manner
in which the red BIS got snubbed. He got
glimpse OF the angels of the bridal party
as they emerged from the church, and says
that ali you could see was bit of nose and
some head.dr ass all the rest was maze of
