LONDON, Oct 2S.-l New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. Miss Clara
Huntington was married at ST. Wilfried
chapel, Brompton rectory, to-day to Prince
Hatzfeldt, of Schonstein, Germany. Miss
Huntington is daughter Of G. p. Hunt.
ington, one of the most brilliant, as well as
one OF the ablest railroad managers and
financiers in the United States, which
abounds in men Of wealth. Prince Hatzfeldt
is u nephew of Count Hatzfeldt German
ambassador to England, and is direct
descendant Of a line which dates back 900
years II had been the desire Of MIR. and
Mrs. Huntington that their daughter should
be married i'm New York, and until two
weeks ago it was generally understood that
the programme would not be altered. Prince
Hatzfeldt, however, with the natural impa-
thence of q lover, demurred against so much
delay, and painted double trip across
the Atlantic at this season of the year in
such gloomy colors that he finally carried his
point, and it was decided that the marriage
should be sofemnized in London. On account
of the very brief time for preparations and
also on account of the absence from London
of many friends of both Mr.. Huntington and
Prince Hatzfeldt, it was considered best to
limit the attendance at the wedding TO
relatives and most intimate friends. Had it
been otherwise st. Wilfried's chapel would
certainly have heen much too small for the
purpose. AS it was, the beautiful chapel,
while not crowded, was comfortably filed by
IL o'clock, the hour set for the ceremony
At that hour the oratory must have contained
ten thousand persons, while goodly crowd
stood about the doors for the purpose of
catching a glimpse of the bride. ST. Wilfried's
chapel is beautiful of itself, but to-day its
charms were heightened by floral decora-
tions of the most artistic sort. There are
three altars in the chapel and ali of them
were in floral array, but the principal altar,
that in front of which the bridal couple
knelt, was almost hidden behind lovely
combination of Gala lilies and roses, the
snowy whiteuess Of the lilies forming most
startling contrast to the deep beds of roses.
1t was considerably past II o'clock when
the strains of the wedding march from
"Lohengrin'' announced the approach of the
wedding party. They entered the chapel by
the main entrance, the bride on the arm of
her father and Prince HatZfeldt supported
by Count Herman Hatzfellt, his cousin, and
son of the German ambassador, who acted as
best man. Then came Count Won Alten, and
Miss Sheriff., of Washington, Miss Hunting
toms bridesmaid. They were followed by
the princess mother, Princess Gabrielle De
Hatzfeldt, and by Countess Won Alien, sister
of the prince. Mrs. Huntington followed.
The bride was attired In travelling dress
of dark green velvet, trimmed with sable.
The costume suited her brunette beauty
admirably. Miss Sheriff. wore plum
coiored silk costume and carried an I'M
mense bouquet of chrysanthemums that
almost matched the costume in color Miss
Huntington also carried chrysanthemums,
while Mrs. Huntington, youthfnl-looking
and stately. was attired in black. Countess
Won Alten wore satin dress of delicate
French gray. Princess Hatzfeldt and
Countess Won Aten were given seats inside
the chancel in the body of the chapel.
In addition to Mr.. and Mrs. Coils p.
Huntington and Mr.. Archer M. Huntington

sador, and his pretty daughter Countess
Mary, who was attred in light silk gray
