students were drawn up IN line to receive
the Emperor. After inspecting them and
watching their military evolutions, the
Emperor spoke a few words of praise to
the young soldiers.
Crowds of people from London and all
parts began to flock to Windsor at an early
hour this morning, determined to see some
thing Of the great event Of the day-the
marriage of Princess Louise to Schles wig
Holstein to Prince Aribert Of Anhalt. In
view of the crush expected a force Of
about fifteen hundred policemen was sent

Albert 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. The deco
rations Of the chapel were grand in the
extreme. The route of the procession down
Castle hill was lined on both sides with
troops and at the castle guard OF honor,
composed Of the Life guards and Scots
guards, were mounted at every available
point The royal standard of Great
Britain from the highest tower OF
the castle fioated proudly over
everywhere were dazzling uniforms, gorge
Gus stats and state carriages, containing
diplomats, statesmen, generals and ad
mirals, princes of minor degree and high
church dignataries. As each and every
member of the imperial or royal families
reached the chapel royal, their arrival was
heralded by a resounding blast from the
trumpets of the state trumpeters, whose
crimson and gold uniforms gave them a
most gorgeous appearance. At the chapel
doors the wedding guests were received by
the lord chamberlain, the Earl of Latham,
who ushered them with much ceremony TO
their places about the altar. In front OF
the altar q dais was erected, covered with
a blue velvet carpet, with the Order of the
Garter and the royal arms handsomely in
terwoven in its centre. Upon this royal
carpet were velvet and gold seats for mem
bers of the imperial and royal families.
The Prince of Wales entered the chapel,
having upon his arm the Empress OF Ger

They were followed by the Emperor of
Germany, escorting the Princess of Wales,
whose bodice was sparkling with German
and English orders, and who wore most
splendid garnure of diamonds.
The Emperor and Princess Of Wales
were followed by the Queen of England,
who wore a simple black dress, plainly
though gracefully made. Upon her head
the Queen wore beautiful coronet, but
with this exception there was little or no
ornamentation about the Queens attire.
After Queen Victoria had been escorted
by the lord chamberlain to the seat OF
honor close to the altar, the bridegroom, in
company with his two brothers, appeared
and was led to the altar. About ten minutes
later the bride arrived, supported by her
father and brother. The brides dress was
of cream white satin OF the most exquisite
texture. 1t was bordered with orange
blossoms, and the skirt was draped with
honiton Guchesse lace, which was designed
by the late Prince Consort for the Queen,
and which was afterwards worn by the
brides mother, Princess Christian, just
twenty-five years ago, for the Prince and
Princess Christian will celebrate their sill
yer wedding at Cumberland lodge on
Wednesday next. The train of this hand
some dress hung gracefully from an under
basque in plain straight folds, and was
what is known as sabol, or
well rounded shape, its border of
white buds and green giving it very eff
equally handsome. 1t was of white satin
with sleeves of honiton lace similar to that
on the skirt, a girdle of orange blossoms
and myrtle blossoms, hanging down in two
long ends. had juncture of bodice and
skirt and fell gracefully over satin train.
As to iewelry, the bride wore a necklace of
diamonds and pearls, the gift of her
parents. The wedding veil was the one
worn by Princess Christian upon the oc-
casion of her marriage.
The bridesmaids were Ladies Emily

Elizabeth Mead, Esther Gore and Honor
able Beatrice Brakeman They wore hand
some white satin dresses draped with deli
cate white crepe de Chine and caught up
with bows of frosted silver. All wore
small ostrich plumes in their hair and had
silver girdles rround their waists. The

service, which was most simple,
He made only brief exhortation. After
luncheon at the castle the bride and bride

A grand banouet at the castle closed the
day, which differed from that on Saturday

bowed low and the Queen did the same,
but the Queen, whose age privileges her to
sit at every ceremony declined to be seated
before the Emperor and little contest of
courtesy occurred. Finally the Emperor,
it was painful to the Queen to
stand, took her by the hand and compelled
her to be seated. A Venetian fete and dis
play of fireworks was given on the Thames
tonight. The German imperial yacht
