reception was held here, and the parties
left for Boston on the noon train. The
ceremony, which was nearly an hour in
length, was performed by the Rev. Father
Grace, of Newport, assisted by the Rev.
Father Hughes, of st. Patrick s. Church,
Providence, aud the Rev. Father Finni-
gan. Mr.. Maistre played the grand organ
