The wedding presents sent to the
house of the brides parents were
very numerous and costly. 1t is
not usual among the Israelites to
give on such occasions jewels OF
precious stones richly set for per-
sonal ornament. The practice has
been, and is wisely kept up, to give
things useful for the household, only
the material changes with the
wealth Ofthe giver and the position
in society Of the receiver. The
presents TO the bride yesterday were
over two hundred, consisting of tea
sets, dinner sets, cream sets, and
similar articles for the house, the
aggregate value of which exceeds
SO, 600; one tea set alone, having
been purchased at Tiffany & Cos ),
cost over 5000.
The ceremony was performed at
the Temple Emanuel, on Forty
third street and Fifth avenue. The
church was crowded almost to ex-
cess, between two and three thou
sand persons being in attendance.
This was mainly because Mr.. Moses
SchlOss, the father of the bride, is
one of the most prominent and
popular members of the church.
Rev. DIR. S. Adler, rabbi or rec
tor of the congregation, oficiated.
As it was the first marriage cele-
bratiOn in this new and splendid
temple, every care was taken to
have it come off with eclat, and
this was another reason why so
many thousands had assembled to
witness it.
The bride, attired in white satin
and enwrapped in a veil of costly
lace, was led up 10 the chancel by
her father; the groom, Mr.. Stone
hill, having no relatives in this
country and his parents still being
in Germany, was accompanied by
Mr.. Louis Danzig, Of this city.
The following formed in process
sion as bridesmaids and grooms-
men The Misses Sallie Nordlinger,
Rachel Walter, Bertha Hermann,
Cassie Walter, FIorine Walter,
Lena Walter, Leonora Walter, Lot
tie Smith, Lena Resented, and
Henrietta Sondheim; and Messrs
Israel NJ. Schloss, brother of the
bride; Isaac Bloom, Simon s. Bach
man, Simon Schafer, Simon N.
Sondheim, Sigmund Reiss, Jos.
Bloom, II. Eisfelder, Simon Dan
zig, and Louis Haase.
The ceremony was very plain,
simple, yet duly solemn and i'm,
pressive. Many of the old customs
of the orthodox Jews were omitted,
as the standing of the bride and
groom under canopy, the offering
of a glass vial of wine to the bride,
which she drinks and then throws
on the floor to be broken by stamp
ing on it, as a token that as the vial
is eternally rent, so the union then
formed shall be eternal. All these |
ceremonies, of the orthodox Church |
were omitted, and after a hymn,
sung by the choir, a short prayer
was said, followed by a solemn adj |
dress to the bride and groom by the
minister upon the religious and
moral duties the engagement of
marriage imposes. With the vow
of eternal trolh and faithfulness,
the groom handed to his bride the |
ring, and while pronOuncing a
similar vow, the bride placed the
ring on her finger. A prayer fol |
lowed by the priest, who, at the
conclusion, blessed the newly we'd |
ded pair, placing his hands upon
their heads, and a hymn by the
choir closed the religious ceremo- |
MES.
The family and all guests spe-
cially invited TO the dinner then en-
tered their carriages and proceeded |
to TrenOr's Lyric Hall, on Sixth
avenue, near Forty-seventh street,
where dinner for one hundred and
fifty persons had been provided.
The company were seated at about
five o'clock, the orchestra of Prof
Rietzel entertaining the assembly |
with operate moreeaur from Mo
Fart, Beethoven, Meyerbeer, Hale
Wy, Ofenbach, Lortzing, Herve, |
and many others. Judge Rosen-
dale, of Albany, and Drs. Adler, |
Guthiem, and several other gentle
men were called upon to make add
dresses and answered the calls, the
laymen in humorous and the rev
erends in earnest exhortations.
The whole affair concluded with
a splendid reception in the private
parlors of Lyric Hall, and a ball |
in the large hall, at which nearly a
a thousand invited guests partici-
pated.
