rambling street OF commonplace old cot
tages. and scarcely more important resi-
dent than the publican. being made. the
scene Of the fashionable wedding OF the
wear. The guests were compelled to drive
over mile if they came from Osborne,
and eight miles il they came from Ryde.
The church selected for the historic ceTe-

building, dating from 1860, and showing in
It's cold, Rare outlines and unsympathetio
effects that the Prince ConsOrt was the
master spirit of its construction. The
massive tower and spire dominate the
hamlet severely. Inside, the sensation
is dstiHctiyely Lutheran. The chief
ornament is a marble monument to the
Prince C0ns0rt. with two angels crown
ing his bust with a wreath, ''placed in the
church erected under his direction by his
hroken-hearted widow, Queen Victoria,
