and shields of plants and blossoms. 4
The wedding party was a small one,
the guests being restricted to the rela-
tives of the bride and bridegroom, the
cabinet officers and their wives and
Private Secretary and Mrs. Lamont.
The company met in the blue room at 7
O'Clock and ten minutes before the
time appointed for the service the Ma

announced the coming of the bridal
party by playing Memberships s " We'd

way and across the corridor came the
president and his bride, unattended.
They entered the blue room and the
simple; ceremony was at once begun.
The bride g gown was OF ivory satin,
with trimmings Of India silk, arranged
in Grecian folds over. the front Of the
high corsage and fastened in the folds
of satin at the side. 7
Orange blossoms and buds and leaves
outlined this drapery and adorned the
edge Of the skirt. A coronet of orange
blossoms fastened the veil and garni-
lures Of the same blossoms were artis-
tically arranged thruout the costume.
Her veil of silk tulle enpeloped her
form and softened the effect of the
satin gown. 1t fell over the entire
length Of the long court train, which
lay about the feet of the bride in a
glistening coil. She carried no flowers
and wore no jewels, except her engage
ment ring. Gloves reaching to the ell
bow completed the perfect toilet Of the
White House bride. u

Besides Mr.. Cleveland, the only pres

on Che Saturday Following Z, and was at

1t was the custom in that day fol. re

Washington, Feb. 17-said Emerson: tfA1

of the most emotional of Americans, and lived in a
rarifed atmosphere of philosophic contemplation.
Any fondness he may have felt for lovers prob
ably purely impersonal but his statement is sound
as if made by the emotional Of the poets But
the White House wedding today does much more than
prove the truth of the Emerson observation. 1t strk
ingly shows the great rise of the American capital
city position of front rank among the diplomatic
capitals of the world.
Compare today's event with those which have pre-
coded it, President Monroe's daughter, President
John Quincy Adams and President Tyler's daugh
ter were married in the White House, and yet
of these events occasioned any comment abroad,
excited the slightest interest anywhere outside the
environs of Washington and the families Immediately
Interested The marriage of President Cleveland, in
1886, excited wide interest but history of it viii be-
searched in vain for anything suggesting international
scope
The wedding of Nellie Grant in 1874 to a British
subject, is the closest parallel furnished by previous
/ White House weddings to the wedding which took
place there today There interest in that event in
this country, and in England, but it did not extend
to the continent. The only representative Of the
ministerial corps in attendance at it the minister
from Great Britain, the brdegroom's friend and fell
lowsubject Of Queen Victoria. The gifts, for the
time, were numerous and costly, but they embraced
nothing from any nation or from any sovereign
The differences which separate today's event from
those which have preceded it, and particularly
from the Sartors. Grant wedding, not measured
by the larger number of guests in attendance,
the greater brancy of the wedding gifts for wealth
and pomp and ceremony in the United States have
gone forward by mighty steps in thirty years These

Tonight's Wrestling Match.

The wrestling match at Concordia Hall
tonight to finish between Young Monday
Of BROOKLYN and Rob Roy Mackey OF Wash
fneton. welterweight champion Of the south,
should be unusually fast and interesting.
Monday made the match at 132 pounds,
which Is somewhat below his proper weight.
while Mackey Is best at 100 pounds. Mon
day Is naturally heavier and stronger
man than his opponent. but In their last
match Mackey had little difficulty in pick
ing him up and slamming him around at
will. despite the fact that Monday then
weighed 156 pounds and had agreed to
throw Mackey twice in an hour. Monday
lost because he didn't throw Mackey
at all. and since then has been in
as;ing upon a chance to try conclusions to
a finish Although Mackey did so well the
last time the pair clashed, the opinion of
Mondays friends was that X they had gone
to finish the Brooklyn man would have
won. The lower weight tonight may inter-
fere with this line OF argument, and the
prospects are that they will be well bal
anced. The match means much to Monday,

REVIEWING THE
NELSON cGOVERN SCRAP

NEW YORK, March 16.-There Is talk of
another meeting between Nelson and Nc
Govern. the contest to take place probably
In San Francisco and the limit to be twenty
rounds at 1873 pounds rfngside- McGovern
asked for another match at the conclusion
Of the mill on Wednesday night, and Nell
sons manager readily assented, believing
that the Dane had real good thing But
IL the men should agree to fight again in
Philadelphia under the conditions which
prevailed Wednesday night it is safe to say
few New Workers would be in attendance.
In discussing the unsatisfactory features
of the battle yesterday local sporting men
said that they could not understand why
the men were permitted to fight under rules
that produced merely rough wrestling
match for more than half the distance The
referee under the conditions was powerless
to act. He could not lay a hand on either
boxer and was prohibited from ordering
them to break when clinched. Under such
circumstances the fight for three rounds
was farce and caused many ugly rumors
to be circulated among the fraternity on the
way back to this city. But these rumors
were probably groundless. for the reason
that the men INDUCED In desperate sluggine
in the last three rounds, McGovern being
on the verge of a knockout In the fourth
and the sixth.
Fight followers never cared for wrestling
tactics In the days of the Horton law the
Is
when clinched, tore them apart and forced
them to fight in the open. This STYLE, has
always been extremely popular in the east
ever since and for that reason hundreds
who saw Nelson and McGovern hug,1ng
and wrestling all over the ring under so-
called straight Queensberry rules were
sorely disappointed. That the referee should
have had the authority to separate them
In cinches is the opinion OF a majority OF
experts who went to the ringside from this
city, and just why he did not receive this
power will probably remain a mystery
McGovern. In spite of excellent physfcal
condition, was not able to show his old
form. He had q punch It Is true. ana he
