Wednesday was field day for weddings and.
among many others. those OF Miss Mary
Ecclcsine and Miss Lily Campbell were mo
most interesting. Miss Ecclesnc was married
quietly at homo TO Mr.. Alexander Mercer Poll
youngest son OF the well.known Archie pcll.
whose hospitable house on Staten Island was
ever open to his friends score OF years ago.
The venerable Mrs. Duncan Pell, srandmo,her
Of the bridegroom. was present. and large lei.
egation Of the Pell family. whose ramincat!ons
are legion, assembled to honor the occasion.
New Jerseys hills and groves never looked
more beautiful than they did when Miss LILY
Campbell and Mr.. John J. Boyd were united In
the Episcopal church at South Orange. The
church, which is a beautiful specimen Of carly
English was wreathcd and decked with iai-iea
and buttercups. and the organ played most 10y
ously as the bridal party came np the aisle The
BRIDE who is very chic and dainty. was fault
lessiy costumed in white satin. with rich pearl
embroidery. and wore long and beautiful point
lace VEIL which had been a gift 10 her mother
on her marriage from her grandmother. the late
Mrs. Valentine Mott. An out.of-door reception
on MIR. Campbell's lawn showed of ad.
vantageously all the smart summer hats and
gowns and when the bride and her attendants
danced a Virginia reel on the grass the golden
shadows from the fine old trees made most
picturesque surrounding.
Newport is rapidly filling up. and Bellevue
avenue and the ocean drives have lost ihop
deserted appearance. Making due allowance or
those who have gone abroad and will not return
until after the Queens jubilee. all the cottages
will be occupied by the middle of this month.
Among the latest arrivals arc Mrs. Brorkh1'.t
Cutting and her son William. Mr. and Mrs I.
Townsend Burden. Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan
Winthrop and Miss Winthrop at their Pinard
cottage, Mrs Burke-Roche. whose former
mother-in-law, Lady Fermoy. has recently diHd
in London; Mr.. and Mrs J. wadsworth Ritohfe,
just arrived from the other side. while horses,
traps, and other forerunners Of well-todo cot-
tagers coming every day.
On the other side OF the ocean Americans
seem now to be flying to Paris 10 escape for Q
week or two from the glare and glitter OF Lon.
don before the jubilee week comes on. The
accounts from the great capital are absolutely
bewildering, even TO read OF. Not trace Is %
be Of the solemn grandeur and dignity
which usually envelop 1t, but crowds. noise,
parades and professions by day and banquets
dances, and receptions by night pervade every
street and square. and from the rising OF the sun
to its rising again on the following day make
sleep impossible even for those who take ne
active part in the functions.
Paris, on the contrary. is very charming iust
now. as the gloom that followed the recent catas-
trorhe is wearing of, and people are beginning
to enjoy themselves in quiet rational way.
The Gymkhana races. which seem to be novelty
on the other side, although we have had them al
Sarragansett and other places two or three
years ago. were the occasion for a very gay
meeting Of French notabilties, and coaching ID,
as usual, very largely to the front in the Amefis
can colony. Mrs. Morton and two OF her dauSh-
ters Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin. Mrs J. W.
Minturn. Mrs. James W. Roosevelt. Mr. Center
Hitchcock. Mr.. Perry Belmont, and Mr.. Frank
Otis are among those who are scattered about
in the different hotels.
The only engagement announced during the
week is that of Miss Cornelia Livingston Crosby,
daughter Of Mrs. RAlston Crosby. to Alfred
Duane Pell. wealthy young man who inherited
from his father the late George W. Pell. n hand
some fortune and a valuable collection OF am
tiques in silver and bronze. The late Mr.. Peu
was brother OF Augustus Pell. whose testa.
mentary eccentricities have been lately made
known. Mr.. Alfred Duane Pell has recently
purchased very big mansion in East seventy
fourth street, where his bride and his aniig Geo
will have regal accommodation.
The marriage OF Miss Fanny Remser dauya-
ter Of the late Robert G. ReInsen. TO Mr. VIM
field Scott was not after all, such a very -rrae
surprise to her friends. as their engagement had
been for long time open secret although
not publicly announced The fact OF her beng
