Two Happy Events at St.
Marks, on Tuesday.
Most Brilliant Weddings City
Has Seen for a Long Time.
The Contracting Parties of One, Albert
Ham Sturtevant and Miss Louise
Pierce; the Other, George Wesley
Boynton and Miss Clara Morton.

st. Marks Episcopal church has in
the past. been the scene of many pref
ty weddings, some of which are vet
fresh in the memories of those who
gathered to witness them, and many
souls have gone forth from it's I.ortals
in the happiness which belongs to the
newly welded, but it is seldom, if ever,
that the old church has had solemniZed
within its walls of stone wedding
around which clustered as many pretty
features as the two of which it was
the scene, Tuesday.
And seldom, too, has it happened that
the wedding ceremony been performed
at the church twice on the same day.
Such was the case, yesterday, however.
Twice did the guests assemble until
the church was filled, even to the doors
and twice was heard the music of the
wedding march, but in no way did the
two interfere. In the first, the clock
striking the noon hour was the signal
for the first notes of the wedding march
to announce the coming of the bridal
party. and the second wedding occurred
at o'clock in the evening.
The church was tastefully decorated
for the occasion, in green and white,
with ferns, palms and flowers, and the
same decorations served for both
events. The effect was very pretty.
There is a richness of finish in st.
Marks that needs but little embellish-
ment other than that which has been
given it.

Mr.. DAMROSCH'S RECITAL.
A Crowded House Thrilled by the In
depreciation of "ParsifaI."

The Congregational chapel was filled
to its capacity, last evening, at the ex-
planatory piano recital of Wagner's
great opera "Parsifal' by Mr.. Walter
Damrosch. the famous musical con-
ductOr of New York. 1t was, an audi
ance of the best people of this and the
neighboring cities. and was both a
tribute to Mr.. Damrosch and n gratify-
ing evidence that the community en-
joys and appreciates the best in music
The tickets We're all 81 and as the en-
TIRE proceeds go to the City Hospital
that institution will get a handsome
sum from the concert.
Mr.. DamrOsch, as he played. told the
story of 'Parsifal" and explained each
stage and step of Wagner's MASTER
piece. He took up in turn each theme
and its subdivisions i'm the prelude
and each of the acts, and for two hours
enthralled and thrilled his hearers. 1t
was an evening long to be remembered
by all present, the richest musical treat
which an Augusta audience has been
favored with for a long time. Augusta
Is deeply indebted to Mr.. Damrosch
for his kindness.

At o'clock i'm the evening the
church was again filled to overlooking,
to witness the wedding of Clara.
daughter of Mrs. Margaret A. Morton.
and Geo. Wesley Boynton, both of
whom are Augusta young people. The
event was naturally. in many ways. a
parallel of that which it succeeded.
equally brilliant. and perhaps a little
more elaborate in detail.
The same grand old march was
played as the bridal party entered the
church. and under the skilled fingers Of
the organist was rendered as it seldom
is. in Augusta.
The ushers We're Carl w. Morton,
brother of the bride, and VIM. and
Fletcher BoyntOn, brothers of the
groom. and as they moved up the aisle
they were followed by the bridesmaids,
Misses Harriet Drake of Waterville,
Mary McDavid of Augusta and Rena
Booker of Gardiner. Then came the
maid of honor. Miss Bertha Pullen.
Immediately preceding the bride
came two little flower girls. Miss
Madeline Winfield of Portland and
Miss Gertrude Davis Of Augusta who
were very sweet and very graceful in
their part of the ceremony.
The bride, who is of the brunette
type. was becomingly gowned i'm white
India silk, cut en- traine and trimmed
