united in marriage recently. The mp.
tual knot was tied with the couple
standing within a car trimmed with
blue and old gold plush. attached to Z
mammoth balloon, christened sCity Of
Manchester" Immediately after the
completion of the marriage ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd began their mar.
ried life, @far from the madding crowd
by a voyage among the clouds.
The Manchester Driving Park wa
the scene of this most unique wedding,
and the affair formed the great event Of
the State fair for 1889. When the
hour announced for the marriage and
subsequent ascension in the balloon ar.
rived, the crowds within the grounds
numbered at least thirty thousand.
The bride was attired in q stylish
travelling costume of drab, and carried
a large bouquet of fragrant flowers,
She is slightly below the medium
height. with pleasing figure, light hair,
blue eyes and fair complexion. She
was born in New Boston in 1868, and il
consequently 81 years of age. Her fa'
ther and mother are both living, the
former, David NJ. Brooks. being the
village blacksmith of Bedford.
Miss Addie came to this city when IL
years old. and has been employed in the
mills for a number of years. The
groom, James +. Boyd, was born iu
Manchester, England, twenty-six years
ago, but anne to this country when q
child. He is employed in the weaving
department of the Amoskeag mills.
With never a tremor, but with q smile
on her pleasant features. the bride
tripped gayly to the white velvetlined
basket, attached by its myriads of ropes
to the great swaying mass above. She
was assisted within the COR, and the
groom followed her. The bridemaid
and best man ARRANGED themselves on
either side of the basket. The Hon.
Hiram D. Upton, Speaker of the New
Hampshire House of Representatives,
then performed the marriage ceremony,
using the brief legal formula.
Speaker Upton at the close of the
ceremony said: "You are about to EN-.
bark upon a somewhat novel journey.
You will rise toward the blue vault Of
heaven, and as you look back you will
behold the thing of earth dwarfed, its
peopled shortened to pigmies, its trees
stunted, its rivers shrunken to brooks,
its towns tiny specks upon the land.
scapes. Perhaps, rising higher still,
the whole view may be dissolved in dis
lance OF obscured by some wandering
cloud. In the new relation you are
now assuming, may you rise above and
leave forever behind you the jealousy
and the selfishness Of human nature,
and may the calm peace of the uppe,
air, above winds and storms, be NOT
more serene, o the sunlight of heaven
above the clouds not more bright than
the happiness of your future lives"
The Hon. Herbert F. Norris. who.
with the Iaeronaut, Prof. j. K. Allen,
comprised the only other passengers on
the City of Manchester, stepped into
the car, and the word was given to lei

The presents received by the bridal
pair were many, and comprised gifts

The New Hampshire Agricultural So.
ciety presented an outfit valued at 5000,
and this was largely supplemented by
other remembrances. Prof. Allen stated
that this was the third couple only who

second Of Providence, r. L, in 1883,
