Campbell, Marquis Of Lorne and eldest son O
the Duke of Argyll, of Scotland, and Princes
Louise Caroline Alberta, Duchess of Saxon,
and eighth child of Her Royal Highness Vic
toria, Queen of England. It was celebrated
with great briiancy. At 10 clock, Ministers
ambassadors, nobility and clergy, and the
bridegroom family were admitted to the roya
chapel. At twelve O'Clock ten royal carriages
with all the members of the Queens family
and other royal personages, left the Queens
gate at Windsor Palace and proceeded to the
south entrance of the chapel, where they were
received by the Lord Chamberlain and con-
Quoted to places. At 1905 the bridegroom ar
rived accompanied by Earl Percy and Lord
Cover, and they were conducted to seats At
l2:l5 the bride, accompanied by the Queen
and suite In five carriages, arrived at the west
entrance Of the chapel, where they were Joined
BY the bridesmaids, and moved up the nave
amid music by the choir, The bride was sup
ported by the Queen, Prince of Wales, and the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg The bridesmaids were
Ladies Campbell, Cecil Butler, Montague,
Gordon, Lennox, Gordon, Seymour and Fitz-
gerald. The bride was seated on the left of
the altar, with the Queen near at hand. The
ceremony was performed BY the Bishop of Lon
don In the choral style, the Queen giving the
bride away. AT the end of the last prayer
royal salute was fired from the artillery in
Windsor Park and the guests repaired to the
Castle for luncheon. The bride and bridegroom
departed at three o'clock for Claremont for the
honeymoon. About thousand guests Wit
messed the ceremony. The grounds of the
Castle were filled with immense crowds. The
Marquis Of Lorne wore the uniform of the Ar
gyleshire Artillery, and not the Highland COS
tune. The Bishop of London was assisted by
the Bishops of Oxford, Winchester and Wor-
cester
The bride is in her twenty-third year, and
the bridegroom in his twenty-sixth. The pop
ular impression has been that it was a love-
match; and that impression has impaired to
it its greatest zest with the great public. Love
10 those high regions was considered such a
rarity, that its appearance for once excited uni
versal wonder and admiration But if letter
from Edinburg to the N, Y. World be true,
the tale is q sweet delusion. According to this
gossipper, the Princess has known love 8 young
dream, accompanied with sadness and heart
breaking. When seventeen, she met with a
German count, who pleased her and was
pleased. The Queen seemed at first to ap-
prove, but subsequently sternly interdicted all
intercourse. The Marquis, too, has had his
disappointments. He was deeply and devoted
ly attached to the daughter of country laird,
who, for time, smiled upon him; but sud-
denly those smiles were changed to fowns for
the young noble, and transferred to day-la-
borer of her father-a very rough and uncouth
subject. The Marquis took his revenge for
this preference by giving the subject OF it
hearty cudgelling, for which, in due course of
law, he was mulcted in sum sufficient to set
up the couple in business as inn-keepers. He
then went abroad to forget his sorrows in wild
life and new scenes; but the heart that has
truly loved never forgets. According to this
version, both he and his bride are broken
hearted victims sacrificed to State policy.
1t is said the remaining daughter of the
Queen is to be married to the young Marquis
Of Ely (Loftus), an Irishman, as compliment
to the Green Isle.
