GU1sHED GUESTS AND GENERAL HOLIDAY IN
RIcHFIELD sPRINas-A PRETTY PEN PICTURE.
RIoHFIELD SPRINGS, NY, Sept 26-Emmons
Blaine sat on the piazza of his hotel at 10
O'Clock this morning contemplating the weather.
He wore suit OF mixed gray stuff, a Derby hat
and dark tie. At noon he would
be wed with Miss Anita Mccormick. Low
drifting and water-soaked clouds touched
the hill tops that shut in this
struggling village with its ill-smelling spring Of
sulphur water. The weather was not propitious
for the wedding but, despite the gloom Of the
day, there was much cheer among the wedding
guests about the hotel piazzas, and the decora-
tions OF the little stores and shops furnished
some relief from the somberness Of the weather.
1T is going to be the quietest wedding you
ever saw, said the prospective groom IN chat
with an Associated Press representative.
Presents? Oh, yes, there are presents, but
they will not be shown today, and we have de-
termined not to make any statements regarding
the trousseau or bridal dress, save the fact that
the latter will be Of Valenciennes lace and
white satin"
Some one, however, had told more about the
bridal attire and this was what the ladies sum-
married when they saw the young bride at the
church: A gown, the entire front Of which was
of Valenciennes lace meeting train
of white satin. The waist was Of
white satin and fchu of lace
fell softly about the throat. The fchu was
of the style of Marie Antoinette. The sleeves
were of soft lace, reaching to the wrist, and the
veil was caught up by coronet Of orange bios

no bridesmaids, and that the ushers had been
chosen from among the friends of Miss McCor-
mick and from his own. their names being F. A.
Keep of Chicago, G. F. Sprague of Boston and

Mccormick.
The train that first came down through the
bills today had at its rear end drawing-room

that this car would be the home Of the bridal

THE RAIN PATTERs ON THE ROOF.
The little Presbyterian church IN which the
ceremony took place sits upon a knoll over
looking the village. 1t is of brick and is con-
structed on lines of modern architecture and it
is lighted by electric lamps.
Its arches were trimmed with smilax. red and
green autumn leaves upon their branches
and ferns. The pulpit was lmbedded in
flowers As s,s the surog guests began to
am. rain began to fall, increasing until its
pelting on the church roof could be plainly
heard. With the sound of the rain drops min
gled the music of the organ. The weather had
become an abomination for a wedding occasion.
SECRETARY BLAINE ARRIVES.
Ten minutes before the ceremony Mr..
Elkins and wife entered the church. They
were soon followed by Secretary of State
Blaine and wife. The father of the groom
was pale of face and wore a
wan expression, though his eyes
frightened and he stepped quickly
ana lightly behind his wife, VINO led the way
on the arm OF an usher down to one of the
plain short pews at the front. The falling
rain died away for minutes at time and then
swelled and receded with peltings, patter or easy
tapping on the shingles The noon hour passed,
while the organ music continued. the storm
beat and the people waited. The mother of
the bride, plainly attired, entered soon
after noon, and it was now the bridal
party was making its way from the carriages
to the shelter OF the awning above the pathway
from the curb to the church porch. The clergy
men entered the chancel almost simultaneously,
and the young groom followed them.
At this moment the bride entered upon the
arm OF her married brother, Cyrus.
Mr.. Emmons Blaine awaited her upon the
altar step, and presenting themselves before
the clergyman, DIR. Holmes began reading the
marriage service Of the Presbyterian church.
