in Honolulu was that of yesterday when
Mr.. Frederick William Glade of Kekaha,
Kauai, was united in marriage to Miss
Bertha Louise Won Holt of this city.
1t rained somewhat early in the morn
ing, but towards eight o'clock the sun
shone brightly and the weather through
out the day was perfect The ceremony
was announced to take place at II 80
a. M in ST. Andrews Cathedral, and the
interior of the fine building looked mag
niieent with the well arranged
FLORAL DECORATIONS
The two columns of the arch near the
altar were twinedwith the male vine
and ferns, and the other columns were
twined with the MALE. From the centre
of each arch were suspended handsome
hanging baskets of ferns and vines. The
two front choir seats had been removed
and the place was occupied by beautiful
potted ferns, lilies, etc. From each arch
above the hanging baskets were wreaths
of white stephanotis and Mexican vines.
The two front seats of the nave were
and other flowers. The whole effect of
the decorations was grand in the ex-
IRENE, indeed more unique arrange
ment could not have been devised. A
canopy of palm leaves had been erected
at the front entrance to the Cathedral
and the ground was covered with mat
ting.
THE CEREMONY.
Long before the hour announced for
the ceremony every seat in the Cathedral
was occupied and many people had to
stand, while some were unable to gain
admission. On no occasion can we re-
member the Cathedral being so crowded.
It seemed as if all Honolulu were pre-
sent. Among those noticed in the church
were H. r. H. Princess Liliuokalani,
H R. H. Princess Kaiulani, His Excel
lency Governor Dominis, Hon. A. S.
Cleghorn, Sir William Wiseman, Bart,
members of the diplomatic and consular
corps, privy council, etc. Her Majesty
the Queen was unable to be present ow-
ing to indisposition.
At II :15 Mr.. Wray Taylor, the Cath
edral organist, played the following
selections on the organ which occupied
the time to the arrival of the bridal party:
Triumphal Wedding March. 800. CARAT.
wedding Fanfare. dIelS.
Festal March. ......-....- Iaylor.
PunctuallY at IL 80 O'Clock the bride,
leaning on the arm of her uncle, Hon.
Godfrey Brown, appeared at the entrance
to the Cathedral and passed up to the
chaneel, while the choir sung the hymn,
Chow Welcome was the CALI to the
fine old tune St. George. Four pretty
little girls-Hanna Glade, Lila Wode-
house, Katherine Monsarrat and Grace
King-preceded the bride and strewed
flowers as she passed up the aisle. AS
the last note of the hymn died away, the
Rev. Alexander Macintosh, stepfather
of the bride, commenced the beautiful
and impressive service of the Episcopal
Church.
The bridesmaids were Miss Marie
Won Holt, sister of the bride; Miss Con-
stance NJ Mist, Miss Mabel Rhodes and
Miss Flora Glade. The groomsmen, Mr..
F. w. Meier, best man; Hon. Cecil
Brown, Mr. E. Muller and Mr.. J. M.
Dowsett A bright looking little couple
Master Arthur Macintosh and Miss
Carlita Glade-brought up the rear of
the bridal procession.
The responses of the bride and groom
were distinctly heard all over the Ca
thedral. The bride was given away by
her uncle, Hon. Godfrey Brown. The
service throughout was fully choral.
The choir for the occasion had been
augmented by several intimate friends
OF the bride. While the 128th Psalm was
being sung the bridal party moved to
the altar, where, after the Rev. George
Wallace had offered up several prayers,
the Rev. Mr.. Macintosh brought the
service to a close with few words to
the newly married couple.
The bridal party then retired to the
vestry to sign the register, during which
a wedding march by II. L. Warneford
was played on the organ. At certain
points in the march the choir sang two
verses of hymn specially arranged by
the composer, which was effective and
something entirely original. AS the
party left the Cathedral, Mendelssohn's
Wedding March was played on the
organ.
THE BRIDES AND BRIDESMAIDS TOILETS.
The bride was attired in magnificent
0f hit
stripes. The front was trimmed with
point D'alencion lace. The usual veil
