By Horse-Drawn Carriages
Brings Back to the Older Residents of Gotham
Mental Visions of Fashionable Events
of the Long Ago.

A sight that brought back to many
OF New York's oldest residents fash
ionable weddings of years ago was
the sight of three horse drawn car
riages at the wedding of Miss Flea
nor Margaret Green, daughter of the
late DR.. and Mrs. James C. Green, to
Prince Niggo Christian AdoIph Geore
of Denmark in Calvary Church last
Tuesday.
The bride rode to the church with
her brother. Norvin Hewitt Green, in
the old Hewitt coach, drawn by two
brown horses, one of which belonged
TO the grandmother of the bride and
IS still going strong Notwithstanding
the weight of years. The same fine
equipage, now passing rapidly into
the realm OF the out-of of-date, took the
prince and his bride back to the spa
clous Hewitt house, Lexington ave-
nue., where the reception took place.
Michael Whalen, long in the Hewitt
employ, held the reins over the horses
and on the box with him was Peter
REYNOLDS, who also has served the
family for years
Another of the coaches belonged to
Mr. and Mrs. Charles b. Alexander
and was used to convey the two
princes to the church. 1t was in this
same carriage that Mr.. and Mrs Al
eXander's daughter, now Mrs. Sheldon
WhltehouSe, rode to and from the
Flfth Avenue Presbyterian Church
only few years ago, the only other
occasion In years that a horse drawn
Vehicle has been used at 4 fashion
able wedding.
The third coach belonged to Mrs.
Frank S. Witherbee and was used
by the Misses Hewitt, aunts of the
bride, to convey them to and from
the church.
The wedding itself was a simple af-
falr and was carried out without
any of the confusion and wild scram-
Die on the part of the mob to gain q
glimpse of the bride. The police ar

thing was very orderly and in good
taste. No royal splendor surrounded
the wedding. 1t was a simple Ameri-
can affair
The prince, having renounced his
remote chance of succession to the
throne, will be known as His High
ness Prince Viggo of Denmark,
will be called Her Highness Princess
Nisso of Denmark, Countess of
Rosenberg.
The princess by marriage is now re-
lated to the DoWager Queen AleXan
der of England and becomes allied 10
the royal families of Germany, Italy,
Greece and the Scandinavian coun-
tries. She is a direct descendant of
the Hewitt and Cooper families on
her mothers side. great grand
daughter of Peter Cooper, who
founded Cooper Union. Her mother
was a daughter OF the late Mayor
Abram S. Hewitt.
Another international wedding in
the near future will be that of Miss
Barbara Murray, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Archibald Murray of this city,
to Lord Doune, eldest son and heir
of the Earl of Morey, on June 21. in
Paris. Miss Murray is a sister of Mrs.
L. Stuyvesant Chanler, jr.
With the reign of the June bride
on the wane, society is preparing for
the big event of the late season, the
Harvard and Yale boat races, which
will take place June 1920. These
spirited collegiate contests always
have been hailed as grand
climax which draws all the noted
members of the smart set together
before the general exodus for New
port, the Adirondacks. Bar Harbor
and other fashionable resorts in this
country and Europe. And according
to all indications the resort season
is to be the gayest in years. This is
especially true of Newport, where ad-
ditions have been made to the ultra
exclusive clubhouSeS. Many prom
inent estate owners will open their
doors at an earlier date and enter
tain for longer period than at any
