last night at s O'Clock, by Rev. W. L.
Lewis, Mr.. Ian B. Morris and Miss Annie
Morris, both of this city.
Long before the hour named the
church began filing with invited
guests and at the hour set the bridal
party appeared. Prof. Treloarpresided
at the organ, and during the cere-
mony, which was beautiful, played
in subdued tones Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers and the
bridal party had a background worthy
their superb appearance.
At 9 p. m. a grand reception was
held at the residence of George Nor
ris. The grounds were beautifully
illuminated and the house was filed
with guests. AS we are forced to
GO to press in order to catch the noon
mails to-day it is utterly impossible
for us to gives a list of the guests at
the house, the elegant and elaborate
toilets there seen Or any particulars
as full as we would like. The sup
per was not only elegant but sump-
tuous. Everything was of the very
best and there was plenty of every
thing. No one knows better how to
entertain than Mrs. George Morris,
Mrs. DIR. Ready and Miss Belle
Morris, and they never appeared to
better advantage than on this occas-
sion.
The display of presents was the
most gorgeous We ever saw, and were
not only ornamental but useful. We
could imagine no better selection than
the n presented. In our haste we
have omitted many from the list found
below.
After the reception the bride and
groom, accompanied by a bevy of
friends, were driven to the Windsor

The young couple have . host of
friends in Mexico who will beNglad to
know that they will make Mexico
| their future home.
