WHERE VICTORIA WAS WED

London, June 23.-With King Edward and Queen Alexandra smiling approval from their private gallery, Jean Reid, daughter of Whltelaw Reid, the Amerl- can ambassador to England, was mar rlei this afternoon in the Chapel Royal of St, James Palace to the Hon. John Hubert Ward, brother of the Earl of Dudley, and equerry-in- waiting to the kinG.
 The ancient chapel, one of the few remains of the old Palace of the Tu- dors, In which Queen Victoria and sew eral of her daughters were married, was prettily decorated with flowers for this the most fashionable of recent weddings in London,
 A great crowd assembled in St. James Square to watch the arrival of the bridal party and the ng and q e,n and other members of the royal family who, by their attendance at the chapel and the subsequent reception at Dor chester house. the city residence of Ambassador Reid, paid a compliment to the American ambassador and his daughter seldom accorded even to members of the English nobility.
 The invitations, which were limited to less than one hundred on account of the smallness of the church. set the time of arrival at 2:45 p, m, and by that hour all the guests had found their seats.
 While the guests were assembling Dr Alcock, the composer and the or ganist of the Chapel Royal, played a fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach the lnuptlal march by Alexander Guilmant, the entr'acte and bridal march from "The Birds of Aristophanes," by Sir II. II, Perry, an andantino by Gull: mant, and the prelude to Act III. of ! lLohengrin.
 A few minutes before o'clock King l Edward and Queen Alexandra, accom- panied by their suites, drove up from Buckingham Palace and proceeded at once to the royal gallery, where the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and Prin- cess Patricia already had arrived.
 As Is customary in the Church of England service, the officiating clergy man. accompanied by surpliced choir, met the bridal procession at the door and proceeded 1t up the chapel, the choir singing Lead Us, Heavenly Father Lead Us"
 The Rev. Edgar Sheppard, canon of St. Georges chapel, Windsor, where tho lyipa and oueon attend ear,Isoc when in residence at Windsor Castle, officiated. He was assisted by the Rev. William Grosvenor, rector of the Church of the Incarnation, New York, q church of which Mir and Mrs. Reid have been members for many years, and the Rev. Hiers Claughton, rector of Hutton Brentwood, cousin of the groom.
 The brides dress was of soft white satin trimmed with ola rose point lace given her by her grandmother, The fronts of the skirt and waist were practically covered with this beautiful lace, which was caught up with tiny white roseouds and orange blossoms The court train was of the same ma. terial as the dress, and like 1t, was trimmed with rose point lace. The veil, too, had a lace center and edgng and was held by a wreath of orange blossoms.
 The bride wore but three pieces of Ijewelry and these all were old-fashion- ed clasp bracelets, the wedding pres ents of King Edward, Queen Alexan- dra, and MT. Ward. She looked charm lingly beautiful as she walked up the aisle of the historical old chapel on the arm of her father. Miss Jennie Crock CT of San Francisco attended her cous- in and, on account of the smallness ol the chapel, which, even with all the precautions taken was rather over crowded, was the only bridesmaid She wore a dainty costume of white em- broidered muslin with blue sash and a large picture hat trimmed with flowers I There were also in attendance five It. tie children, two boys and three girls all in quaint costumes of blue ano white, taken from one of Reynolds famous child pictures. They made as pretty little troop as has ever fol. lowed a bride to the altar.
