The Aeronautic Nupiinis.

.-' From the N. Y. Times, 9TH j ul.1 '- q
For some days the curiosity por-
tion OF the New York public have been all
agog with the latest sensation-a projected
marriage in balloon. This extraordinary
event promised to be fully as exciting as
the famous ''Diamond Wedding" or even
the Tom Thumb nuptials, for there was
something peculiarly novel, not to say RI
diculous, In the idea of wedding taking
place amid the clouds, with all the mum
dane witnesses shut out by fleecy vapors,
and the epethalamium sung by the rattling
cordage Of the aerial ship. The ladies nat
urally evinced considerable interest in the
details of the affair, and yesterday they
seemed determined to satisfy their curlosi-
ty to its full extent. For this unique mar
riage the most elaborate preparations were
made. 1t was to have come off on Satur-'
day last, but owing to the indisposition Of
the fair and daring bride it was, postponed
until yesterday afternoon. The rain storm
on Saturday would have postponed 1t at
any rate, so no fault can be found on that
score. ....... .f...-... ......... Ida
..F THE PRELIMINARIES. 10 ..-... .- rH
Before we 90 into the details of this we'd
ding in cloudland, let us see how the affair
came 10 be arranged. That it was not the
result of love of romance or notoriety
can be readily learned by the correspon-
dence passing between Professor Lowe and
the would-be Benedict for the proposition
came originally from the latter, and there
fore the affair cannot be considered mere
advertising scheme, as it might reasonably
enough have been characterized, if Profes-
sor Lowe had been its protector. Chdcu a
son gout. The notion can only be termed a
strange freak onthe part Of the bridegroom,
which was aequiesced in by his complais-
ant bride. The lady was at first strongly
opposed to the notoriety inseparable from
the affair. After considerable correspon-
dence between the contracting parties the
negotiation was completed, and then Prof.
Lowe set about making the necessary ar
rangements. The first thing requisite was
suitable ear, and he forthwith ordered
one of the largest wicker balloon cars ever
constructed in this country, capable ofseat-
ing six persons comfortably. This car was
most superbly decorated being furnished
with new Brussels carpet, damask cushions,
lace curtains, and blue silk canopy, maxi
ing tout ensemble at once rich and appro-
PIRATE. The cost of this beautiful balloon
car was over $500. The balloon was to be
| inflated with sulphuretted gas, in order to
give it the necessary lifting power, and it
was generated by the same retort used by
| Prof. Lowe in his war balloon enterprise.
Such were Interpretations. We now come
| to the cOnsummation. r.,.. %. ...... .r-

OPENING SCENES.

.H
At an early hour yesterday morning the
process of initiating the mammoth balloon
UNITED States" was commenced, and 1t
continued in slow progress for some hours.
The time fixed for the start was 2 Z. NJ.
but the want of common gas from the gas
works prevented punctuality. AS the hour
drew near for the balloon to ascend great
crowds began to assemble in the vicinity of
the aeronautic inclosure, corner Of Sixth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street. The neigh
boring rocks and houses were covered with
impatient spectators, and the slight emf
nences throughout that portion Of Central
Park were black with visitors, all desirous
of catching glimpse Of the wedding par
ty as they scared above their heads. Inside
the Enclosure every available seat was oc-
cupied long before the appointed time--the
majority of those present being ladies. As
the sphere Of the balloon rose above the
walls of the amphitheater, in the process
of initiation, the crowds outside increased,
and the box-keepers were kept busy. A
steady current of visitors continued to pour
in despite the want of seats. Those arriv-
ing late descended to the platform and
| clambered upon the rocks which form the
surroundings of the inclosure.r In the cen
| ter was the platform, and over it labored
uneasily the gradually growing bulk of silk
and vapor destined to carry the vOydgeanS
| through mid air. In front of the staircase
was erected a neat evergreen arch, prettily
decorated with flowers typical of the inter-
esting event soon to take place. Over the
arch hung the words, nEver Thus" in ev-
ergreen leaves. From the arch to the car
of the balloon was laid carpet, flanked on
either side by growing cedars. '' 4'..''

WAITING FOR THE BRIDE.

Two o'clock came and the balloon seemed
to be rapidly filling, and yet no bride or
bridegroom made their appearance. People
walked about and viewed the balloon from
every possible point; they also visited the
black bear up in the rocks, who was very
fat and quite sociable. In fact those present
whiled away the time as best they could
until the start. They found, by eager in
quiries, that everything was favorable the
day was calm, the wind did not blow sea-
ward, the bride was in perfect health and
full of bravery, and so the spectators pa
tiently waited, receiving every minute fresh
accessions to their already crowded ranks.
While they are waiting let us see who the
adventurous party are who intend making
such novel wedding tour. From the busy
whispers round us we learn that the brides
name is Miss Mary West Jenkins, formerly
OF st. Louis, and she is said to be lady of
refinement and prepossessing in her per-
sonal appearance. That the bridegroom is
well known in scientific circles as Prof.
John F. Boynton, the geologist, of SYRIA
cuse. That the sister OF the bride is an
artist of talent, and only awaits the con-
summation of the marriage of her sister to
depart on a tour of study in Europe. That
the ceremony will be performed by Rev. j.
Dewitt Talmadge, of Philadelphia, who
has volunteered for the occasion. We also
learn that the wedding party will consist Of
four persons besides the Professor and his
assistant And one lady has been informed
that one of the bridesmaids is the sister of
the bride, already spoken of, and the other
will be the daughter of the bridegroom.
So goes the floating gossip, and for once
Dame Rumor is nearly correct. But the
most serious bit of gossip was the discussion
upon the legality of the proposed marriage
In the air. The awful idea gets afloat that
such wedding is no wedding at all, the
law saying "on land or waters" and here
again the interested fair ones find fresh
matter for comment. .. II .,'s,,.9,-.f
ARRIVAL OF THE WEDDING PARTY.
Meanwhile the balloon steadily, though
imperceptibiy fills, the elasticity is more
apparent, and the time fixed for the depart
ure is long past. Suddenly stir is observ-
able, and in a minute the large gate at the
rear of the inclosure opens, and two covered
carriages drive In. These vehicles are quick
ly surrounded by the people on the ground,
while those in the balconies above become
agitated and neryously excited. In o very
short time the carriages approach the plat
form and the bridal party alight. The BRIDE
groom is a tall, well featured man, and his
bride is fully as good looking as rumor said
she was. She appeared little fiurried, but
evidently determined not to Withdraw at
the last stage of the proceedings. The
bridal pair were accompanied by the Pro-
fessors family and friends, all looking well
and no more Hurried than the circumstances
