The marriage Of Miss Ella, second daugh-
and Mr. Charles R. Hayward. a young mar
be dealer Of Rutland which took place Tues
day pm, was an occasion of interest enough
to deserve especial mention. The ceremony
took place in the Baptist church, Rev. Mr..
Wilcox officiating. The pulpit and plat
form were beautifully decorated with fes-
toons of smilax ard with white lilies. The
bride and groom were accompanied by Miss
Harmon and Miss Glvray, both of Boston,
bridesmaids, and Mr.. E. D. Page, of Rut-
land and Mr.. F. A. Haven, of Boston,
groomsmen, and by six pretty misses, Misses
Minnie and Carrie Davis, Miss Hattie
Brink, Miss Mary Kelton and Misses Mary
| and Cora futile, of Rutland, flower bearers
The ceremony was a simple one, and at its
close the fower-bearers strewed flowers in
the path of the happy pair as
they passed through the church aisle to
the )or. Mr.. Davis presided at the organ.
The altering at the house was numerous
and pleasant assemblage. Thirteen hundred
invitations had been sent cut to friends in
Burlington, Rutland, Boston and other
places. Mr.. Barnes spacious grounds were
lit with locomotive headlights and Chinese
lanterns, and the Queen City Band dis
coursed sweet music from the shrubbery.
The floral decorations inside the house, sup
Piled and put up with exquisite taste by
Calder of Boston, surpassed anything of the
kind as yet seen in our city. Chandeliers
and cornices and arches and paintings on
the walls, and mantles and stair-railings
were wreathed and fostOoned with flowers.
Over the new-married pair, as they received
the congratulations of their friends, hung
wreath of white tea-roses and tuberoses,
within which foated white dove with q
spray of roses IN its bill. OF the profusion
of flowers some idea may perhaps be gained
by the fact that the florist brought from
Boston a thousand roses and thousand
yards Of smilax, besides lilies and other
flowers without count, and that our
own florist, Mr.. Taylor, and many
friends in Burlington, sent in guam
