ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. q. 80 Through
cheering crowds the czars wedding pro
cession slowly wended its way from the
Anithkoif palace to the Winter palace
where the words that made them man and
wife Were pronounced. Reaching the
Winter palace, the royal party entered the
MalaChite hall where the bridal process
sion was formed. At its head were the
court functionaries and then came the
czarina, escorted by the king of Denmark,
her father; the czar and Princess Alix
came next, followed by the Prince and
Princess of Wales and the other members
of the imperial and royal families, another
batch Of court officials bringing up the
rear.
The bridal procession marched TO the
Piketnaya room, which adjoins the church.
In this room remained the majority of the
officials and the members Of the lesser no
bility, only the imperial family and their
royal guests and the Indispensable func-
tionaries passing into the small chapel.
The brides dress was white, richly en-
broidered with gold, and on her head was
the usual kokoshnik belonging to the COS
tune and ornamented with diamonds
The brides mantle was of purple velvet
lined with ermine. The brides train was
borne by five officials, two walking on
either side, while the grand chamberlain
held the hem.
The car wore the uniform of the famous
| Red Hussars of the guard, with dolman
suspended from the right shoulder. The
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sake
| Coburg and Gotha wore Russian uni
| forms, while the Duke of York wore a
naval uniform. All the royal princes wore
the Gordon of the Order of St Andrew
In the center of the chapel of the Winter
palace stood holy table, on which had
been placed the gospel and a cross. Be
tween the table and the altar were multi
| branched candelabra with lighted tapers.
Behind the table, facing the altar, stood
the presbyter Yanischeff, attired in
gorgeous vestments Of cloth of gold Close
| behind the bridal pair the imperial and
royal spectators formed semicircle.
The ceremony was concluded few min
utes before 2 o'clock. The czar and his
bride then approached the dowager czarina
TO greet and thank her. She embraced her
son and his wife, after which they were
| embraced and kissed Dy the king of Den
mark and their other relatives. Every
body was much moved, and the bride was
in tears. The czar was very pale, and was
| visibly affected.
The newly married couple called at the
Cath edral Of Kazan on their way back to
the Anitchkoff palace for the purpose of
invoking the blessing Of the Almighty
after their marriage, and In order to kiss
the miraculous image of Our Lady of
Kazan. The newly married couple then
resumed their return journey back to the
Anitchkoff palace, where the dowager
Czarina had already preceded them.
Later the czar and czarina, accompanied
by Grand Duchess Olga, youngest sister of
the car, appeared at window of the pal
ace overlooking the Newski Prospect
Here they stood for fifteen minutes, bow
| ing repeatedly in response to the acclama-
tions of the multitude gathered outside of
the palace. Grand Duchess Olga, with
girlish enthusiasm, repeatedly kissed her
| hand to the crowd. The czarina, leaning
on the arm of her husband, smiled ra-
diantly ON the throng There were sew
eral demonstrations, though of shorter
duration, during the next hour.
