Their fun was short lived, however, be-
cause Theodore Roosevelt. jr., with his
wife made an extremely quick dash across
| the few feet of sidewalk space and once
they were installed in the car Inspector
O'Brien gave the crowd fne exhibition of
| just what his traffic squad could do
upon occasion.
AS the car started east and then north
across the Plaza a dozen OF the mounted
men carelessly filed across 5Sth street op-
posite the door of the Alexander house,
and at the same minute three mounted
men. one riding ahead as a sort of scout
and the other two on either side of the car,
spurred their horses to a gallop and es-
corted the car north on Fifth avenue
At SD street the man in front gracefully
wheeled to one side and the car shot away
to the north straight along the avenue.
Mr.. Roosevelt had told no one of his
plans. he had said before the wedding, and
| afterward it appeared that his statement
was literally correct. His own friends. who
! had arranged 10 follow him, were blocked
! by the apparently careless move OF the
mounted police in guarding the rear, and
| they confessed utter ignorance as to his
| immediate destination
Mr. Roosevelt when asked whether he
knew where his son had gone with his
young wife. held up his hand warningly,
and laughingly replied:
Now. now, that's their secret
We'll, there's report around that they
didn't even take you into their confidence
/ on this particular matter" il was sug-
gested.
But Mr. Roosevelt did not answer; he
| just smiled broadly.

of the young couple, while the bride was
! engaged in changing her dress, had been
| devoted by the bridegroom to a meeting
| upstairs in the library of the Porcelain
! Club, Harvard's most famous organization.
Most of his ushers, Harvard classmates,
| were present. S well as Lewis, the negro
steward of the club, who represents the
/ third generation of his family in this par
| ticular capacity. a family famous for the
| brew of its Porcelain punch.
Wedding Perfectly Organized.
| The marriage will remain on record as
the most perfectly organized wedding that
has taken place in New York in many
| long wear In spite of the large number OF
| invitations issued for the church-sor1e M
teen hundred friends and acquaintance
had been asked-and notwithstanding the
huge crowds that filed the streets IN the
immediate vicinity, there was an enllre
a absence of confusion both in the arrivals
and in the departures.
| Although the ceremony only took place
after O'CLOCK, the guests had all LEFT the
| church by 40. and less than quarter OF

the three entrances of the edn1ce mad Deeh
