SAN Francisco, June 3.-Noshing in
society circles has ever bean SO eagerly
looked forward to as the marriage of Miss
Theresa Alice Fair co Herman Olerichs Of
New York. The marriage took place at the
Fair residence on Pine street this evening.
There have bean many elegant wed iings in
San Francisco, but even the Haskell
sharon and Acknowledgement nuptials
were exceeded in brilliancy by this, the
browning society event of the year.
It was wedding betting the most beau
tiful heiress in California, and in ths
nreparations, extravagaucs typical of the
earlier days when gold was easily gained
and thrown away with lavish hands, held
full sway. The trousseau. gifts, decorations,
and supper each represented feature of
considerable proportions.
Certainly nothing that thought and care
could devise or wealth procure was wanting
TO give distinction to the affair. Three
thousand invitations had beeu issued to
friends and relatives in all parts of the
residence had been fitted especially for the
occasion, aud large organ was built in the
borse to assist the orchestra IN the wedding
march. Flowers and palms occupied every
nook and corner, and the grounds outside
were transformed into garden, In the
center of which was erected a large pavil-
ion to accommodate the. throngs the large
house could not shelter.
A little after o'clock the first contingent
of guests who were invited to witness the
ceremony arrived, and a half hour later the
strains Of the Norwegian Bridal Process
sionn arose from the orchestra, and a chorus
of ladies from the Handel and Haydn So
ciety entered the drawing-room, swelling
the volume of music with their voices. This
finished, the bridal chorus from "Lohen-
grin" was taken up as the bridal
party entered the room. First came
four ushers, Edward NJ. Greenway,
James D. PheIan, Frank J. Carolan and
A. H. Small, who we're followed by quar-
terte of pretty bridesmaids, Miss Jennie

Joliffe and Miss Belle Smith. The maid of
honor, Miss Birdie Fair, walked demurely
alone. and after her came the bride leaning
on tue arm of her father. The groom and
his best man, George Pollock of New York,
had preceded them, as had the clergy,
Archbishop Riordau assisted by the vicar
general. the Rev. Father Prendergasr. and
formed the ceremony according to the rites
of the Roman Catholic church. The
orchestra meanwhile played softly.
