Saturday was gala day for the old church, ill spite of the heavy down pour Uf rain and the black clouds. Soon after three the guests began to ar rive and before the rain came, most of them were ill the church, but the bridal party had the worst of it. The church was decorated with Il profusion of laurel and evergreens. Prof. Crane presided at the organ ill his usual ac- ceptable manner. The bridal party formed ill the vestibule and marched up tie south aisle to the front where they met the groom ill front of the minister, who was the Rev. Lyman Abbott, of well known fame, and who performed tEe wedding ceremony. After that the bride and groom and their attendants retired to the vestibule by the north aisle, autos were waiting outside to take them to the home of the brides uncle, William Scoville. The guests followed to attend the reception and meet the bride and groom.
