Cabe-Special to THE BEE. THE marriag o
of Prince Halzfeldt and Miss Clara Hunting
ton, daughter OF c. Z. Huntington, will take
place at the oratory at Brompton at IL o'clock
in the morning of the 2Sth of this month, the
past week being devoted to arrangements of
the necessary prelminarics, and in the re-
gion of Hanover square and Dover street,
where the contracting parties are at present
respectively residing, there is n state Of
happy anticipation quite commensurate with
the fact that one of Americas daughters is
to become princess in a family which dates
back in history Tor 900 years.
The date of the marriage was not settle d
upon until this afternoon Various crcum-
stances have delayed the final conclusion.
a marriage in London, according to the rites
of the Catholic church, including the publi-
cation of the bans, necessitated that both of
the contracting parties should be Catholics,
and they should have had previous residence
IN London for certain period The first
obstruction disappeared through Miss Hunt
ington's becoming a communicant of the
Catholic church. This has been entirely

have gone on just as well with :
out it, but she so chose, and a
Catholic bishop will marry them. The other
objection was overcome by means of a special
license, and in the most fashionable Roman
cathedral in London, under the superin-
tendencc of Bishop Patterson, the nuptial
knot will be tied. The wedding will be a
private one, without ostentation or extrane.

will be present. This is due partly to the
fact that the Huntingtons are in mourning,
| and, furthermore, to the departure of Mr..
Teutonic, Mr.. Huntington's business calling
him to New York without delay.
On the day OF the ceremony Prince and
Princess Halzfeldt will leave for Italy for
their honeymoon, which will be spent at the
prince will take his bride to Schonstein, the
seat of the Halzfeldt estate, in Germany.
The Huntingtons have been here for q
month past and the prince arrived ten days
| ago. The ceremony was originally intended
| to take place in Paris, but the neces sity OF
| Mrs. Huntington's stay in London altered
the plan. For week past the preparations
have progressed with all the pleas
urable flutter incidental to such
| happy occasions. What the results
are is not known, but il
| is quite certain that they are in every way
satisfactory to all parties. Mr.. Huntington
| has been in the most genial mood evel
| known since his arrival and seems to have
| accepted The role of fatherin-law to the
| prince as a new and very pleasant addition
| to his existing fame.

Prince Halzfeldt is being varlously de-
| scribed and under the present circumstances
| pen picture of him may not be uninterest
ing He is blonde of medium height,
square and symmetrical figure; his hair
parts IN the center and rolls back in a Ger
man way, and his moustache, which is brown
| and curling, takes the princely hon
ors among moustaches. His face l!
| German in type and clearly cut
though in looks he is entirely cosmopolitan
He is exceedingly good natured, off-hant
and very cordial in his address He has
| penetrating blue eyes, is shrewd IN observa
tion, and has quick, commanding manner,
which is apparently due partly to his tradi
tions and partly to his nervous and wiry
make up. He dresses very quietly with {
| gentleman's taste and evlnces notable dis
| elimination in the matter of scarf pins. But
for his faint German accent in speaking
| English he might be mistaken for youni
American of the most polished class. Altman
De Gotha says he is thirty-six years old, bu
he does not look thirty, if as old. l
Is only in conversation that hi:
added years become apparent. From
the very sentimental complexion o
affairs at present 1t quite seems that th'
| result would have been the same if the
prince had the good fortune to be a thor
oughbred American and without anything
to recon mend him to his bride aud father-in
law except himself
Castle Schonstein, which Will be the fu
ture residence of the prince and princess, is
quite realization of the dreams of al
young ladies who read novels. 1t is locate
on precipitous cliff on the Rhine and it
picturesque, lvy-grown gray walls and tow
ers are tie most imposing feature
IN the landscape for many miles
1t has the felicity of bein
nine hundred years old, havin
been built by the feudal Halzfeldts and OF

up to now. The estates are extensive an
| tho farms and woods stretch in all direction
over picturesque, rolling country, so.thG
the princess ro-be will be tho sovereign G
all she surveys in several directions at least
There are three old churches in ruins anon

and the legends that cluster thereabout froI
the story of the siege of 1S4S, back throug

q liberal education in yeoman history if any
body ever masters them.
