LORD KITCHENER AS BEST MAN

Sentinel Special Service.
London, Nov. London was
much interested today in the we'd
ding of General Sir Archibald Hunter
and Mary, Lady Inverclyde, which
took place in st. Georges. Hanover
Square, in the presence of large
and fashionable assemblage. Public
interest in the marriage was not due
to the fame of the bridegroom or the
wealth and social prominence of the
bride as to the fact that Lord Kitch-
ener attended his old comrade-in-
arms as best man. The hero of
Khartoum is renowned throughout
the United Kingdom as a confirmed
bachelor, even a woman-hater, and
it is probable that never before did
he approach so near the matrimonial
altar.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed by the Archbishop OF York,
assisted by the Bishop of Ripon. and
Prebendary Anderson, the rector OF
ST. Georges Following the cere-
mony there was a reception at the
home of the bride in upper Grosve-
nor street. The bride is the widow
of Lord Inverclyde, who was chair
man of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany. General Sir Archibald Hunter
is one of the most famous command
ers in the British army and was
particular favorite of the late king.

May Day Exercises s-Graduating
Recital,
Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Red Springs, May 4 4-Tuesday
was quite a gala day for Red
Springs; the town was swarming
with visitors walking. riding in
buggies and in automobiles. All
these visitors came to attend the
the May Day exercises at the COL
lege which were held on the
campus at five o'clock. At the
appointed hour five little boys,
dressed in blue, came marching
out the front door of the college,
each blowing a trumpet herald
ing the approach of the queen;
next followed sixteen maids,
dressed in Greek style, with
flowing white robes and each
carrying a Grecian Tyre; then
the maid of honor, Miss Mary
Bullock, beautifully dressed in
green aud white, came and took
her place at the foot of the
throne. The crown bearer was
a cunning little boy in a black
velvet suit carrying the crown
on satin pillow. Next came
the queen, Miss Mabel Groom, a
fair creature indeed in her regal
robes of white and gold. She car
ried beautiful American Beauty
rose, with a long stem as a scep-
ter, and the crown was made of
the same flowers. After the COR
onation the usual May Day games
were played, the prettiest of
these being the May pole dance.
This was gracefully done by the
sixteen attendants of the queen.
The twining of the different col
ored ribbons around the pole
was very affective. The exercis-
es were we'll carried out, and all
who were present enjoyed the
afternoon very much. Miss
Groom made a beautiful queen
and besides her beauty she is a
sweet and lovely girl. very popu-
lar with her fellow students.
! Last Monday night in the au-
ditorium a large audience was
delighted by the graduating re-
cital of Miss Margaret Bruce
Williams. Miss Williams is qnite
an artist and master on the VIC
lin. She manages the instru
ment perfectly and plays with
great feeling and depth of tone.
Her notes are full and rich anC
:. are given with precision. Miss
Williams is the first violin stu
dent graduated from the conser
vatory, and she bestows much
credit on her teacher, Miss Lill
ian Farquhar. Miss Williams
played many exceedingly Difficult
compositions from Chopin, Cries
t and others. She was assisted b.
Mr.. Charles Vardell, Jr. Mr.
Vardell, as all who have hear
t him can testify,is askilled young
, pianist. He delighted his hear
4 ers with several beautiful solos
l rendered without fault.

thing imaginable; but of the
things received there were two
