The wedding ceremony, uniting
Mr.. Geo. Ross aud Miss Katie Lish
man, was celebrated at the Central
Union Church Thursday evening
April I'd.
MIR. Ross, for some time in the EN-.
ploy of Mr.. j. d. Spreckles. at
Spreckelsville, Maui, has for the past
several months been Manager of the
Hakalau Plantation, Hawaii. Miss
Katie Lishman is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Lishman, of
Honolulu, 0alau.
The church, Hastily decorated with
roses, lilies, ferns and other flowers,
was pretty we'll filled by the friends
OF the contracting parties and others.
The ushers, both at the church and
the residence, weye Messrs. J. D.
Mclnerny, A. Lucas and G. X.
Wilder. Rev. DR.. Beckwith off;ci-
ated, with MIR. Wray Taylor at the
organ.
The bridal party was little late
in arriving at the church. At 1850
O'Clock the bride, leaning upon the
arm of her father, walked down the
central aisle, preceded by the ushers,
and Mr.. William Ross, best man, and
MIR. G. NJ. Foster, with the brides
maids, Misses Maggie Lishman and
Mamie King. They were met at the
altar by the groomsman, when the
marriage ceremony was performed
The party Immediately after drove
to the residence of the brides par
ents, where the reception was held. !
Upan=approaching the home of MIR.
and Mrs. Lishman, there was scene
to please the eye of the most morose. |
The grounds were lit up by a mass,
you might say, of lanterns, Chinese,
Japanese and Hawaiian; yet the
lanterns were sosattractively arrang-
ed on trees, Shrubs, bushes and yer
andas asto make it one of the pref
test sights of an evening that
Honolulu ss-has~seyer~seen { The re-
ception rooms were beautifully dec
Grated with choice flowers, f-rus
and vines. One room, on the Wal
XXI side Of the residence, was com
pletely filed with presents, compris
ing the uniqne, pretty, beautiful
and expensive of almost every de-
scription; enough, one would think,
to furnish the home of the newly
married couple.
The bridal party had hardly re
turned from the church when the
guests for the reception began to
arrive. The ADVERTISERS repre-
sentative attempted to note the ar
rivals, but soon gave up in despair,
as 1t would fill several columns to
mention them. Amoug them were
Cabinet Ministers, Members of the
Supreme Court, Government
officials, with other of the leading
society people of Honolulu. Pine
ushers, friends. Of tia families, aud
others in charge of receiving the
guests, deserve special mention for
the pleasant and hearty manner in
which they were received and enter |
tanned. Later in the evening re
freshments we're beautifully served,
consisting of many of the most |
toothsome things to be had.
After several hours passed in chat,
some wendell their way homewards, |
while the greater number of the
younger people INDUCED in the
pleasures of animpromptn ball.
Prof. ID. Berger with the Royal |
Hawaiian Band enlivened the recep |
ton with their usual splendid music
With the many friends the ADvER-
User joins in the hearty wishes of a
prosperous and happy life for the
bride and groom.
