The first wedding in the new county o.
Orange was that of Constable F. Benedict
of Santa Monica, to Miss Mysie Walls oi
Santa Ana. In consideration of the fact
that these were the first names entered
upon his books the County Clerk refused
pay for the service. The clergyman
caught the spirit of the affair, and de.
clined fee; the proprietor of the Hotel
Brunswick gave the parlor for the cere-
mony, the bridal chamber and the wed.
ding breakfast, all without charge, and
the Southern Pacific completed the fete
by carrying the happy couple gratis to
Santa Monica. A large number of peo-
pie were present and took part in the
festivities.

Rosengarden, Mrs. R. Lowenberg and
Hr. III. Ehrman are among the most ac-
