The following account of the we'd
ding on March 8. at Cannes, France, of
Professor Jerome Landfeld, who is
popular here and will bring his bride
to Berkeley to make their home, will
be of especial interest, and the pres
ence of number of Californians,
notably Mrs. Hearst, Orrin Peck, Mrs
c. A. Spreckels and DR.. and Mrs.
Joseph Marshall Flint. will be re-
marked. The report is from the Paris
edition of the New York Herald:
Blessed is the BRIDE says the
adage, whom the sun shines on and
no bride ever had more beautiful day
than that which dawned for the we'd
ding of Princess Liuba Lobanoff-
Rostovsky, lady of honor of the EN-
press and the Dowager Empress of
Russia, with Mr.. Jerome Barker Land
field of California, which was solemn
led this afternoon. Nor has the pretty
little Russian church of st. Michael
ever seen more distinguished assem-
bly, than that which gathered to wit
ness 1t.
Rank, fashion and good looks all
were there when at half-past the
bride entered the church on the arm
of her brother, Prince Alexis Lobanoff-
Rostovsky. She was simply and ex-
quisitely dressed in white silk, orna-
mented with orange blossoms, and a
the same flowers. On her left shoul-
der she wore the badge in brilliants
of the two Empresses and her only
other ornament was a very handsome
pendant of sapphires and brilliants
given her by the Grand Duchess Marie
Georgievna. to whose person she has
been attached. Mr.. Landfield wore the
regulation frock coat of English
speaking peoples.
The service, choral as usual, was
particularly well sung, and the entire
ceremony, with its pomp, Byzantine
decorations, golden robes and bejew-
eled crowns, was strongly suggestive
of the time when the Greek Emperors
reigned at Constantinople. The ikon
was borne before the bridal pair by
Count Torby. The crown holders were,
for the bride, Colonel Dubreuil Echap-
parre, adjutant of Grand Duke George
Mikhaylovich; Captain Lembessis, ad-
jutant of Prince George of Greece; Cap
tain Dracke. adjutant of the Grand
Duke Michael Nicholaievich- Those for
the bridegroom were Mr.. Orin Peck and
General de Etter.
