bridal march from Lohengrin, every
seat was taken, as well as every avail
able bit of standing room. The occa-

ing of Arthur T. Jacobs and Frank S.
Gage of this city, followed by Messrs.
Wallace J. and Stephen w. Tener,

most beautiful of all, and in her we'd

cut entraine, the corsage decolett, cut
V-shaped, brocaded front, long tulle
bridal veil falling around her, and
carrying in her hand a bouquet of ILL
les of the valley, was the prettiest
bride that Haverhill has seen for
some time, and indeed, as one enthu-
siastic lady expressed it, she was too
charming for anything. The groom
is a magnificent specimen of manly
beauty, standing six feet and three
inches, and the pair were well match
ed in appearance. The ceremony,
which was modelled after the beautiful
ritual of the Episcopal church, was
performed by the Rev. ]. C. Snow,
d. D., and was short and most i'm
pressive, the responses being made by
both the contracting parties in clear,
firm tones.
From seven till eight o'clock a recep-
ton was held at the residence of the
brides parents, 16S Main street, which
was also largely attended. The newly
married pair received their friends
standing in a corner of the parlor, the
wedding presents being displayed in
another room, and in another an ella
borate wedding breakfast was served
by Tanner. During the brief hour
constant stream of friends paid their
CONGRATULATIONS to the couple, and
wished them the long life and happi-
ness Mr.. and Mrs. Tener left on the
80 train for brief wedding tour to
New York and Washington, and on
their return will take up their resi-
dence in Pittsburg. Pa, where a recep-
tion will be held November 8. Among
the presents displayed, and a particu-
larly large and costly collection it was

carving set from "Al" Spalding, OF
Chicago, a silver dressing case from
Henry A. Tener and wife of Pittsburg
and feather fan from the groom, the
feathers in which were procured by
him in Arabia, while on his tour
around the world with Spalding's base
ball tourists.
NOTES.
Three finer specimens of physical
manhood than the three Tener broth
ers are not often seen, and the whole
family. embracing seven brothers, all
remarkably tall, would be sight
once seen, never to be forgotten.
More elaborate and tasteful cos
tunes than were worn by many of the
ladies present, were never seen in Ha-
Verhill.
