July. 6.-Shortly after o'clock amid a scene of splendor and with most | imposing ceremonies the Princess Louise, | second daughter of Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig Holstein and grand daughter of the queen of England, was married to Prince Aribert of Anhalt in the historic St. Georges chapel, Windsor castle. Not since the marriage of the late Duke of Albany has the castle been crowded with so many distinguished people and not since that event has the chapel been so crowded with members of the royal families. The | decorations of this chapel royal were grand in the extreme. The stalls of the Knights of the Garter were set aside for the most | important guests and the Bray and Rut- l land chapels were fitted up as retiring rooms.
 The route followed by the procession was the same as that taken at the wedding of the Duke of Albany. This route, down Castle Hill, was lined on both sides with | troops, and at the castle guards of honor, composed of Life Guards and Scot Guards, | were mounted at different points. The royal standards from the highest tower of the castle foated proudly over the whole, while here, there and everywhere were dazzling uniforms, gorgeous staffs and state carriages containing diplomats, states men, generals, admirals, princes of minor degree and high church dignitaries. Down Castle Hill the Eaton boys on the sward on the left ran with the carriage of the royal family as they were driven down from Henry VII Gateway and cheered like pack of young demons let loose for the occasion.
 The first portion of the procession was formed by the carriages containing the bridegroom's family. The second section consisted of twelve state carriages, which conveyed to the chapel the Emperor and Empress of Germany and the imperial party, with the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edin- burgh, the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, Prince Henry of Battenberg and his wife, the Princess Beatrice, the Prin- cess Louise and the duchess of Fife. The Prince of Anhalt, the bridegroom, wear ing German uniform, with his attend
 
 cession.
 The queen of England in the most elabo- rate of all the carriages, surrounded by Life Guardsmen, magnificent horses, arms cuirassiers and helmets flashing brightly formed the fourth joint of this bewilder- ingly attractive procession. The state car riages alone, with their gold and velvet trapplings, outridders in scarlet uniforms and pickers, prancing steeds, coats of arms .k1 11n1 aIo @,,&H travelling considerable distance to see. The queen was greeted everywhere with the widest exclamation of loyalty.
 The bride, accompanied by her father, Prince Christian of Schleswig- -Holstein, and by her brother, had already driven from Cumberland Lodge, their residence, to Windsor castle, and as the queen started for St. Georges Chapel, the bride and her two male relatives followed. AS each and every member of the imperial or royal families reached the chapel royal, their arrival was heralded by resounding blast from the trumpets of the state trumpeters, whose crimson and gold uniforms gave them 8 most gorgeous appearance. At the chapel doors the wedding guests were l received by the life chamberlain, the earl of Lathom, who ushered them with much l ceremony to their places about the | altar. In front of the altar a dais was erected and was covered with l blue velvet carpet with the Order of the | Garter and the royal arms handsomely interwoven in it's center. Upon this royal | members of the imperial and royal fami- lies. The banners of the Knights of the l Garter, all renewed for the occasion, over hung the seats of the important guests. Besides the plants and flowers there were no other decorations inside the chapel, for other ornamentation would have only served to detract from the natural beauty of the ancient church edifce. The Prince l of Wales entered the chapel, having upon his arm the empress of Germany,

 bodice was sparkling with German and English orders and who wore most splendid parure of diamonds. The en-

 black dress, plainly though gracefully
