to the rights of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, following the Russian SER
vice last. evening, made Miss Julia Dent
Grant, daughter of General and Mrs.
Frederick Dent Grant. and grand
daughter of Ulysses s.. Grant, the wife
of Prince Cantacuzene; Count Sper-

crowning social event of the season,
and one of the most brilliant affairs of
the kind ever chronicled in the social
annals of this city.
The reasons for this second marriage
ceremony have already been well ex-
planned. The ceremony today was cele-
brated in that unpretenr1ous edffice, All
Saints chapel, and the ritual was that
of the Protestant Episcopal church,
which, If brief. is decidedly impressive.
There We're two clergymen and a bishop
in the chancel, some beautiful music
and all thatgoes to make up lovely
wedding, and, above all, the glorious
sunshine that all brides wish for.
The family and social connections of
the bride gave to the wedding a mill
tary as well as diplomatic character
and the little church in which it took
place was bright with blue and gold,
the bridegroom's uniform easily out
shining those of the home guard.
A large number of the Newport sum-
mer colony had delayed their departure
to attend the wedding which came as
climax to one of the gayest seasons
ever known at this popular resort
