REGAL WEDDING FOR AMERICAN GIRL

London, June 23.-Beautiful and
historic Chapel Royal, in st. James
Palace, before whose sanctuary Vic
1oria was welded to Prince Albert and
which ever since has been held sac
red to royal nuptials, was today the
szsene of the marriage of Miss Jean
Reid, daughter of American Ambassa-
dor Reid, and John Hubert Ward.
King Edward witnessed the ceremony
and was first to extend fluctuations
70 the happy groom and blushing
5ride. Nearly all of the members of
ne British royal family and the
cream Of the London nobility and dip
!Cmatic corps, as select an assem-
olage as ever gathered at the mar
mage Of an American girl, aided by
their presence in making this the most
Uoteworthy matrimonial alliance that
s-he English metropolis has known in
years Following the ceremony there
was a great reception at Dorchester
House, the London residence of the
brides father, Whitelaw Reid, Amer
lean ambassador to Great Britain and
vditor and owner of the New York
Tribune. All London society was
srresent at the reception and the brill
liant uniforms Of the ambassadors and
ministers Of all nations rendered the
scene a highly spectacular one.
King Edward Present.
aside from his desire to do honor to
lhe daughter of the American ambas-
sa5or, King Edward contributed the
, prestige Of his presence and the SOL
zmnity OF the Chapel Royal to the
wedding through a sincere respect for
the groom. who is his equerry-in-
Uaiting. The Hon. John Hubert Ward
z the first member of his majesty's
household TO take a bride since the
accession Of Edward and this also
added to the notability Of the occasion.
He is a brother Of the Earl of Dudley,
the recently appointed governor gen.
eral Of Australia. The wedding took
place earlier than expected in order
that Lord and Lady Dudley, who will
b-ave shortly for Australia, might be
present.
The bridesmaids included Miss Beat
rice Mills, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ogden Mills Of New York, and Miss
Jennie Crocker. Of San Francisco, both
cousins Of the bride. Among the
presents received BY the bride was a
magnificent emerald necklace, the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-23

Mrs. Ward is a most attractive
young woman, and has become popu-
lar in English society. She has been
reported engaged several times since
her father became ambassador to
Great Britain.
1t was in July, 1906, that the London
Chronicle came out with the flat an
nouncement that the engagement of
Miss Reid and the Viscount Acheson
would be made public 'in the very
near future" Lord Acheson, who is
29 years old and six years the senior
of Miss Reid, is the son of Earl and
Countess of Gosford, and the heir to
the earldom.
In December, 1906. Mr. Reid put an
end to the stories by stating that his
daughter was not engaged to any for
eigner with a title, and that he hoped
she would marry an American.
In July, 1905, she was reported to be
engaged to Lord Brooke.
Historical Ancestors.
Mr. Ward is 3S years old, and a
member of a family Of great antiquity.
He served as an under secretary in
the finance office, and was in the army
for a time. During the Boer war he
was attached to the headquarters staff
in South Africa. and was mentioned in
dispatches for his services as well as
made a member of the Victorian Or
der
Mr.. Ward has no chance Of succeed
ing to the title, insomuch as the Earl
Of Dudley has a large family. He re-
ceived a legacy of 100000 when he
became of age, and has had other
legacies since.
The new Mrs. Ward has a consider
able fortune in her own right and will
receive a considerable addition from
her father.
Prophesies have been freely made
that Mr.. Ward will eventually be made
a baron by the king, and that he may
be the successor of Lord Knolls as
Edwards private secretary. owing to
the advancing age of lord Knolls he
will soon be forced to retire.
