NOTABLE SOCIAL EVENT.
Miss Martin of New York Married to
the Earl of Craven.

Miss Martin of New York Married to
the Earl of Craven.
New YORK, April 1S.-Local society
was all agog to-day over the most brilliant
wedding of the season. William George
Robert, Earl of Craven, and Miss Cor
nelia Martin, the only daughter OF Brad
ley Martin of New York, were married
this afternoon by Bishop Potter and Rev.
DR.. w. r. Huntington, at Grace Church.
in the presence of over 1000 of the elite of
New York and English society, with all
the pomp suggested by the nobility of the
bridegroom and all the magnificence al
lowed by the millions of the bride.
The ceremony was modelled strictly af
Ter the English style. The bride entered
the church with her father, preceded bv
her bridesmaids, and met the groom at
the altar. He was accompanied bv his
brother, the Hon. Robert Cecil Craven.
After the ceremony large reception
was held at the Martin house. on West
Twentythird street.
Both church and house were decorated
with flowers in the most profuse and
costly way.
The groom is aged 25 years and is the
possessor of an income of $500, coo per
year. The bride is only Il years of age
and is heir to many millions. the family
being one of the best known in the citv.
While abroad her brother became
''chummy" with the Earl, and as result
the latter met the girl whom he welded
to-day.
The wedding was one of the most not
able social events in the history of New
York.
The floral decorations at the reception
at the Martin house following the we'd
ding of the daughter and the Earl OF
Craven were the most lavish ever seen
here on any similar occasion. The main
hall followed the scheme of a floral
bower. The canopy leading from the
street was filed with palms and white
blooming shrubs, and was adorned with
a huge arch of white lilies, extending
from wall to wall. On the corners lead
ing into the library, drawing-room and
