 East Pearl Street M. B. church was the scene of very pretty ceremony last evening, uniting in matrimonial bonds Miss Florence Adelaide Butter field and Walter Ira Trench. The hour for the ceremony was 7:3O, and some time prior the large church was well filled. Two hundred and fifty had been bidden to the ceremony and the recep- tion which followed at the home of the parents of the bride, MT. and Mrs. Mar cius Edson Buttertield, 12 Welcome street. The marriage service of the Methodist Episcopal church, always in- teresting and impressive, was perform ed by the pastor of the church, Rev. B.. c. Tullar. Palms, ferns and other dec- orative plants had been artistically arr ranged about the platform, in front of which the wedding party stood. As the organ pealed forth the Lohengrin we'd ding march the wedding party proceed ed up the north main aisle in this or der: The ushers, Frederick Butterfield, brother of the bride; Warren Crawford, cousin of the bride; Earl F. Johnson and George Stevenson; the flower girls, Mildred Mansfield and Eva Ruth Rob- ertson; the maid of honor, Miss Geor- gia Gale, of Hartford, and then the bridal couple. The best man, Alfred T. Allen, of New York, cousin of the groom, met the party at the altar. The bride wore a handsome gown of banzai silk, with trimmings of lace and rib- bon. She carried a bouquet of bride roses. She also wore the customary long bridal veil. It was a decidedly chic costume. Miss Gales gown was of point de esprit, with white satin trim mings. Each of the flower girls looked attractive in white point de esprit, the trimmings being of lace and satin rib bon. The brides going-away gown was of dark green Venetian cloth, her hat to match. The two flower girls carried pink carnations, and the maid of hon. or's bouquet was of pink roses. The wedding march was rendered by Will liam A. Brown, organist of Dwight Place church.
 After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the brides parents, F Welcome street. Palms. goldenrod and ferns were used lavishly in the dec- orations at the house, making an eff fective display. The receiving party in cluded the newly-wedded couple and MT. and Mrs. Frederick Mansfield, the latter celebrating their sixtieth anni- versary. This couple are grandparents of the bride. The aged couple received the hearty congratulations of the guests, with the hope expressed for many returns of the anniversary day.
 MT. and Mrs. Trench received a very large number of gifts, including silver ware, linen, china, cut glass and pie lures. Checks were received from MT. Butterfield, the father of the bride, and from Frank J. and William F. Mans- field, uncles of the bride. These checks were for substantial amounts. The bride is one of the primary teachers in the Sunday school of the church, and her associates in the teaching force sent a half dozen handsome after-din- ner coffee spoons and tong; handsome silver tea service was given by Fred-i erick Mansfield, grandfather of the bride; the Seaweed club, a social or eanigation of which the bride Is menl- Der, gave three cut glass pieces Two water colors were presented by Mrs. F. I. Hitchcock, of Bridgeport, an aunt of the bride. One is a pretty view of Oys- ter river, the other representation of the Old Mill at Black Rock. The pie lures are productions of Mrs. Hitch cocks skill as an artist. Other gifts included handsome rosewood clock from George L. Butterf1eld, of Bridge mort. an uncle of the bride, and bronze clock from Mrs. E. A. Totten, of New York. These are only a very few of the many beautiful and useful gifts
