 Boston's Brilliant Wedding Yester-
 day-Mary Anderson's Brother We'd
 ded to Barrett's Daughter Amid
 Great Pomp and Ceremony.
 BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 3.-Just before noon today the Cathedral of the Holy Cross witt messed the most stately marriage that has been solemnized in Boston for many day; and indeed never in it's history has the grand Cathedral been the scene of so important a wedding as that of Lawrence Barrett's daugh- 1 ter to Mary Anderson's brother. Washing ton street in the vicinity of the church was thronged with curious crowd eager to get a peep at the brilliantly attired guests as they alighte6 from the long line of carriages and disappeared within the canopy that led from the pavement to the cathedral portal. Five or six policemen were on guard, and the in- functions not to admit any pereon present ing himself without 8 card were strictly ad- hered to.
 The great, impressive interior. with its sombre tints and it's painted windows center ed the light of it's gas jets and candles upon the chancel and that part of the auditorium immediately surrounding it, where, walled in by lines of tall palms and evergreen trees, were seated large and distinguished assem- blaze of guests, all of whom were elegantly
 attired,a a good proportion of the ladies in their
 light reception gowns.
 Veteran evergreen trees, which were ranged in line along the aisle on the right and on the
 left extending from half way down the inte- rior to the sanctuary, shut out what daylight came through the pictured windows and made sort of curious enchanted bower. On either side the chancel was an artistic group ing of lofty palms, the same being intermin- gled with the massive wall of trees, which reached nigh up to the very arches Of the ceiling. Everywhere in this luxurious set ting of green were the bright blossoms of growing plants, crimson and white predom- mating. The decoration was, on the whole, masterly and suggested that Norton, the decorator, must have had his hands full for many days, and likewise his pocket full af terward. Admirable music was furnished.
 Mir. Antonio de Navarro, of New York, was acting as usher, and with him MT. John Burnett and Mir. Archibald Tisdale of Boston and Edwin Bartlett of Pittsfeld, Mass.
 Just before the bridal party made it's ap- pearance came Miss Anderson, dressed with the taste of the true artist that she is, in magnificent gown of faille franchise simply garnished with embroidered crepe de chine, and wearing on her stately head directo1re hat of uncut velvet convered with ostrich plumes.
 As the organ dropped into an almost noise less improvision of @ theme from Calkin there was a sudden hush, simultaneously peted aisle at the back part of the cathedral. It was magnificent wedding party beyond all imagination. The 6ne-looking young groom was attended by Mir. De Navarro of New York, the bride by her distinguished father, who cane in of course for large share of attention, though the interest was centered upon the bride and hor ofT Tnoido Miaa Edikh RQrrAft the younger sister of the bride, was maid of hon. or, the bridesmaids Miss Blanche Griffin, sis ter of the groom, Miss Brewer, Miss Fairehild and Miss Ruth Burnett, sister of Frances Hodgson-Burnett. The brides gown was heavily-trained one of white satin, garnished with very handsome valenciennes lace and lilies of the valley. She wore no jewels, nor any ornament save the pure white flowers, of which she carried a large bouquet. The graceful tulle veil was bordered with rare va- lenciennes, the same which trimmed the bri- dal veil of the first Miss Barrett when she be- came Baroness Won Roeder.
 The bridesmaids looked all but as lovely as the youthful bride in their gowns of white crepe de chine. Each bore in her hand @ bouquet of roses, while the ethereal veils of tulle of forget-me-nots. The maid of honor carried, instead of the bouquet of the splen- did red "American Beauty" roses, one of the more dainty and no less elegant yellow-pink OaLQ6rlQ0 M6Gmeb.
 The digniGed Archbishop Williams con- ducted the ritual, assisted by two of his fathers. The ceremony was brief, being the omission of the elaborate nuptial mass, very much like that of the Episeopalian wedding service with the difference that, save for the simple questions and responses which passed between the archbishop, the bridal couple and the father of the bride, all was in the Latin.
 On the exit of the bridal party the march from Tannhauser was played as delightful relief from the usual Mendelssohn and to the strains of Wagner the guests slowly dis- persed, chattering with far more than the usual animation about the magnificent and long looked for event just concluded.
 Fifteen hundred invitations had been sent all over the country and to England and Germany.
 Early in the afternoon, after the brilliant and pleasant social part of the festivities was over, MT. Barrett took train for New York, whence he had come last night to fill the pleasant office of giving to Joseph Anderson, his talented young eomrade in profession, his own charming and no less talented second Gertrude.
 MT. and Mrs. Anderson leave Boston im- mediately, although the wedding trip is not definitely arranged. They will eventually settle in England.
