cess of Wales, was married at 1880
o'clock to-day to Prince Charles, the
second son of Crown Prince Frederick
of Denmark. The ceremony took place
In the private chapel of Buckingham
Palace. So far as the general public
of London Is concerned, the wedding did
not attract as much attention as had
been bestowed upon other royal mar
riages of recent years. With the ex-
ception of st. James street and few
houses in Pail Mall and Picadilly, the
decorations were very poor. inside the
Marlborough House grounds, at the Pail
Mall corner, the Prince of Wales has
erected stand for those of his friends
who were unable to get to the Palace.
The Carton Club was handsomely decor
ated in scarlet and white and the lamp
posts were handsomely decorated and
trimmed with white flowers. Devon
shire House, on Picaiilly, was cheaply
decorated with few flags and looped
scarlet cloth on the front wall.
The house of the Baroness Burdette-
Coutts had liberal display of scarlet
cloth along Its balconies. In ST. James
street gorgeous decorations had been
prepared and results were visible in
all parts of the street. There were also
displayed flags of all nations, including
many United States flags, some Of
which were hoisted with the stars down.
Crowds began to assemble in the
street at an early hour in the day and
all points of vantage along the route
from Marlborough House to Bucking-
ham Palace were quickly pre-empted.
The streets, however were kept clear
for the royal procession by the Cold
Stream and Scots Guards, while parties
Of the First Life Guards were stationed
at intervals all along the route. At 1880
came the subalterns and an escort OF
the children. The brides procession
was then formed and proceeded to the
chapel, being led by two heralds, two
gentlemen ushers, the Lord Chamber
lain and the Vice Chamberlains The
bride was supported on one side by her
father, the Prince Of Wales, and on the
other by her brother, the Duke Of York
The bridesmaids followed while the gen
tlemen of the household, the Equerries
and others brought up the rear.
In the meantime the Queen had been
conducted privately from her apart
ments to the vestibule of the chapel
There the Queens procession was
formed and proceeded into the chapel
1t was composed of heralds. ushers, wo-
men Of the bed chamber, bearers OF the
gold sticks, and other officials Of the
Queens household.
The Queen walked into the chapel
heavily on the arm Of Prince Christian
of Denmark, and was conducted to the
chair at the left of and facing the altar
Her Majesty was dressed in black silk
and wore the ribbon of the Order OF
the Garter and other decorations. A
white lace veil, surmounted with dia-
mond tiara covered her head. The bride
entered leaning on the arm Of her faith
er. the Prince Of Wales, and after bow
ing to the Queen and to the Archbishop
Of Canterbury, she advanced to the altar
rail. The Prince of Wales stood little
behind and to the left of the altar The
bride and bridegroom uttered the re-
sponses of the marital ritual in low
but audible tones
Delay in saying adieux made the
procession an hour late in returning 10
Marlborough House By that time the
morning crowds had been greatly REIN
forced. Bands which had taken up po-
sitions along the route through which
the procession had to pass enlivened the
time during the waiting with music
hall ditties. At 8 o'clock the bridal
couple left Buckingham Palace, the
bands striking UP the national air GOD
Save the Queen" while the crowds
greeted them with hearty cheers. The
bride. who was quite pale, rode in the
same carriage that conveyed her to the
palace. the young husband sitting be-
side her in the glass coach was smil-
ing. but Princess Maud appeared quite
serious. Both acknowledged the
cheers with which they were greeted
as the procession made Its way through
the streets by bowling to the right and
to the left. The carriage Of the Prince
and Princess of Wales followed that Of
the bridal couple. The Prince Of Wales
appeared sad AS the procession turned
into st. James street, motto was
shown, reading, God bless all your
coming years"
All the royal guests at the wedding
followed TO Marlborough House, where
a reception was held. At o'clock the
bridal couple drove to st. Pancras sta
ton, where they took special train at
$50 o'clock for wolferton. The streets
through which they drove to the rail-
way station were lined with enthusi-
astic crowds. The city was Illuminated
tonight in honor of the wedding.
All the Princes who attended the
wedding were in military uniform, and
the princesses wore court dresses and
trains, in subdued tnts. Diamonds
were lavishly worn and glistened in
the sunshine. which streamed through
the windows OF the chapel. The Dan
