Tony's Bachelor Dinner a Lavish At
fair, and Marjorie's Wedding Cow
Perfect Dream. The Big Ricl
in Cupid's Meshes.
NEW YORK.-Anthony J. DreXel
Jr., who will marry Miss Marjorie
Gould next Tuesday, gave his bach
elor dinner at Delmonico's tonight
1t was a lavish affair, with all The
bachelor friends of young Tony
gathered about the groaning fiesta
board to wish him we'll on his triI
over the seas of matrimony. 1t is
the universal opinion that Tony is
a lucky dog, and there will doubt
less be not a few envious glances cast
in his direction tonight. Since she
came out Miss Gould has had host
of admirers; any one of whom would
have been glad to confer his name
upon her. not alone because of her
wealth, but because she is easily
among the most beautiful and talent
ed of the manageable young women
in American society.
Arrangements for the wedding
have been practically completed.
Mr.. Drexel will have his brother,
Armstrong Drexel, as best man. Wis
count Maidstone, who is to marry
Mr.. Drexels sister next June, and
C,oox~o NJ II NriR4b cleo on EnG-
lishman, will be among the ushers.
Kingdom and Jay Gould, brothers of
the bride, will also usher
It is promised that there will be
so many notable features about the
wedding, aside from the wealth and
position of the two families, that all
other historic matrimonial events on
this side of the water will be eclipsed
When COnsuelo Vanderbilt married
abe Duke of Marlborough it was an
occasion of worldwide interest,
largely because of the uniting of
family of money kings with that of
an English noble house, though i'm
poverished, ranked just below royal
ty. But the DreXel-Gould wedding,
even if it is simply the matrimonial
alliance of two rich young Ameri-
cans, will bring more people of title
to New York and to ST. Bartholomew S
church than ever has been seen at
such a function before.
Both the Drexels and the Goulds
move in the Kings set" in London
society. They also know the kaiser,
the president of France and the czar
almost as we'll as they do King Ed
ward. Fully half the guests at the
Wedding will have to come from the
ether side of the Atlantic, and most
of these will be people OF title.
There will be enough of them to fill
a big steamer, and if they bring
their coronets and diadems and dia-
monds along there will be enough
valuables afioat to make the ghosts
of the old buccaneers sit up and take
notice.
But the most unusual thing about
these guests from across the water
is that most of them make the trip
at the expense of the parents of the
bridegroom or the bride. Under
the circumstances invitations were
sought after with more than usual
eagerness. Being a guest when
the host is worth $50,000,00O or
more means, especially in this case,
something more than the honor OF
being "among those present. A
free round trip to America under the
most luxurious circumstances was in
cluded in the invitations. There are
not two families in America who have
more social connections than the
Goulds and the Drexels. This, in
one way, is owing to the DreXels
long established position and to their
prominence in the financial world.
The Goulds are equally eminent in
the railroad and industrial field.
Therefore, when the wedding day
arrives the railroad yards around
New York will be filled with private
ears. There will be the greatest col
lection of these palaces on wheels
that the city has ever witnessed.
AS this wedding is to be the most
elaborate, the most costly and the
biggest-superlative in every re-
spect. in fact-it Will have an in
fuence on the cut-hower market
among other things, and send prices
up for the time being. The interior
walls of the church will be half hid
den beneath masses of the most mag
nifcent roses, orchids, gardenias anC
other blossoms that can be secured
At the Gould home the display viii
be even more sumptuous. The
Goulds showed what they could dc
two years ago at the coming-ou
party they gave for Miss Marjorie
at the Hotel Plaza. The floral dec
0rations surpassed anything New
York had seen before.
