Mayer of Grand Forks and One of st.
Pauls Fair Daughters.
One by one the fairest daughters of st.
Paul are wooed and won by adventurous
gentlemen from abroad. The brave men of
other parts of the gilded northwest visit
the metropolis, meet the fair maids and
are captured. Yesterday a bold captain
from the fertile Dakota valley, man who
has won honor among his peo-
pie, and filed his Golfers with
well-earned ducats by sagacious
investments in golden-grain acres, car
ried away maid most fair to see, and
most estimable in character and accom-
plishments.

Dell A. Lyons, the eldest daughter of Mr..
Maurice Lyons of st. Paul, for the two
highly esteemed young people were about
to join their fates at the holy altar. No
cards were issued, yet the attendance was
one of the largest ever seen in st. Paul.
A handsome carpet was laid from the
curb to the main entrance of the church.
and just at the hour named the bridal par

portal. As the procession passed into the
temple, the organist, Prof Manner, PLAYED
the delightful Brides March, from Lohen-
grin, and the audience turned to see the
brilliant coterie which slowly moved up
the aisle in the following order:
Misses Therese and Emma Lyons, two
pretty little sisters of the bride.

opera hat, and who also carried beautiful
basket of fresh blossoms.
The brides mother, in heavy brocaded
velvet, led by the handsome groom, Can't

The lovely bride, leaning on the arm of
her father. It is impossible to do Justice
to the beauty of the fair spouse and her
elegant costume. Of great delicacy of
feature with the brightest of bright eyes
and refined intelligence of expression, it
is not matter for wonder that she was at.
tractive, but her many charms we're aug
mented by the elegant arts of dressing,
SO mysterious and SO fascinating to the
sterner sex. A flowing bridal veil falling
from her wealth of couture enveloped q
most exquisitely elaborate costume of
cream brocaded silk, enriched by trim
mings of costly Spanish lace. Diamond
ornaments sparklsd at ears and throat and
billowy lace encircled the fair neck. Fairer
bride never knelt before priest, and never
was lovely bride more worthily bestowed.
The ceremony, which was brief and in
tsresting, was performed by ReY. Father
Reilly, after which the bridal party de-
parted to the MAJESTIC strains of the we'd
ding march and drove to Mr.. Lyons resi-
dence On Tenth street, Tho time inter-
vening between the arrival of the party
from the church and the departure Of the
happy pair for an eastern trip, was passed
pleasantly in discussing most elaborate
repast elegantly served. In the appoint
ments of the table and tho variety and
delicious quality Of the viands, the feast
has seldom been equaled In st. Paul. The
numerous bridal gifts were Of the most
exquisite and costly description, and they
we're prettily displayed. Many friends of
tho young couple assembled ct the depot
to wish them God-spesd, and that their fu-
ture will be prosperous and hsppy cannot
be doubted, for il ia certainly deserved.
