7 WHEELING W. VA. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY Z 1893

| Dury, Hrlmate OF all EnB lhuu, anu n1Os-
repoitan, who, as above stated, con-
Quoted the service, did so with special
emphasis. His voice was resonant aud
not word was missed by those who
| listened to him. AT the conclusion OF
| the religious ceremonies he made a
short address to the royal bride and
COON upon their high station and duties
to the nation. he eDjoined them to
serive with enthusiasm for all worthy
ends.
The bride wore the veil which was
worn by her mother on the occasion OF
her own marriage. Her wedding gown
was OF silver brocsde, in perfect har-
mony with the bridesmaids toilets OF
white satin and silver lace.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, as
sisted by the other clergSmen, per-
formed the ceremony, the bride being
given away by her father. Mendes-
sohn's "Wedding March" was played as
the royal party left the chapel, the
united professions of the bride and
bridegroom leading to the throne room,
where the registry OF the marriage was
'attested by Her Majesty aud the other
members OF the royal family and royal
guests.
The dinner was served at Bucking-
ham Palace, the Queen proposing the
toast of the bride and Bridegroom, T"
and the LORD Steward to the toast
"The Queen"
Presents were received from all parts
of the British Dominiens.
Much has been said regarding the op-
position OF the Princess Of Wales to toe
marriage, it being stated that she did
not approve Of her son marrying the
girl who had been engaged to his broth
er even though that brother was dead.
The present given by the Princess OF
Wales should put to rest these rumors
for It is doubtful II mere valuable gift
was ever given by any one on similar
occasion. The Princess's gift consisted
mostly Of jeweIry and precious stones,
the whole being valued at 9S5e,OOo,
(s1, $50, ,OOO.)
On the way back to Buckingham Palace
from the Chapel Royal, the procession was
led by the carriage of the Queen. HeF
Majesty, who was accompanied by the
Duchess OF Teck, was wrapped up In
white Indian shawl. She gave instructions
that the carriage should proceed slowly in
order that she might view the decorations.
This gave the loyal crowds along the route
en- excellent opportunity 10 again see Her
Majesty, and she was most enthusiastically
cheered.
She kept up lively conversation with
the Duchess of Teck. who pointed out TO
her the special features Of the decorations
that caught her eye. Shortly after the
troyal party entered the palace the Queen,
the Duke of York and his bride and the
Duke and Duchess of Teck, appeared upon
balcony. AS they stepped out the crowd
before them went wild with enthusiasm;
Her Maiestys face plainly showed the
pleasure she felt at the enthusiasm OF the
crowd, who in every possible way ex-
pressed their approval OF the marriage
which II is believed Her Majesty, to GER
tain extent, brought about. However THIS
may be, had her consent not been given the
marriage would never have taken place,
and this fact added to the inherent loyalty
! OF the people, made her almost as popular
as the bride.
The faces of the Duke and Duchess OF
York beamed with happiness, and they re-
peatedly bowed and smiled as the salvos
of applause and the cheers OF the multitude
were repeated again and again. Inc
Duchess of York looked charmingiy beau
tiful as she stood on the balcony ana
acknowledged the salutations Of those sue
NAV some time be called upon TO rule over.
At half past four o'clock the Duke and
Duchess bade adieu TO the Queen and their
| other relatives and left the palace. They
descended TO the street from the grand en-
trance. An open carriage drawn by four
horses was awaiting their coming.
The Duke gallantly handed his bride
into the carriage and then himself entering
they started for the railway station along
| the route selected, which was literally
packed with humanity. The carriage was
escorted by squadrons from the Life
| Guards and Laucers. AS the carriage
drove of the Queen and all the members OF
the royal party stood upon the balcony
over the grand entrance and waved good
| byes to the bridal couple.
Along the four miles Of the route from
the palace to the Liverpool street station
the royal couple received an unbroken
| ovation.
Such enormous masses of people were
never before seen even in London.
