As the minutes stole on towards noon, all was eager anticipation. It was a denso crush, in which uniforms and black coats. jostled fashionable toilettes. Owing to the lack of a cloakroom, the ladies wore their hate. The hont was considerable, and dur ing the period of waiting one of the guests, Mrs

Wayne McVeagh, fainted, but no other untoward incident occurred.

Shortly before twelve o'clock, Mrs Roosevelt, stepmother of the bride, accom- panied by the immediate members ofther family, entered the East Room by the main door, and took up a position on the left side of the raised platform. The

FRIDAY, MARCH 80, 1906.

President's wife wore a Princesse costume of cream-coloured brocade, figured with blue and brown. Her ornaments were diamonde.

Three minutes later Mr. Nicholas Long- worth entered, attended by his best man, Mr Thomas Nelson Porkina who had been a student with him at Harvard. He took his place at the foot of the platform, await- ing the bride. Mr Longworth wore a frock coat, white waistcoat, and dark grey trousers, and his pearl silk tie displayed a moonstone "for luck."

THE BRIDE'S ENTRY.

11

A breathless silence reigned as, promptly on the stroke of twelvo, the brido," leaning on the arm of her father, preceded by her ushers, and attended by her young sister, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, entered, amid the strains of the March from "Tannhäuser,' and advanced to tho platform, where Bis. hop Satterlee, fully vested, was ready to commence the ceremony. Miss Roosevelt presented a graceful and charming picture to the thousand guests assembled in the East Room, Her bridal dress, of Princesse pattern, was of heavy white satin, which had been specially manufactured for the occasion, with a train of silver cloth. The bodice was trimmed with chiffon- and lace, and the bridal veil was edged with point lace that had been worn by the bride's) mother at her own wedding.. Miss Roose. velt's ornaments were a diamond necklace, the gift of the bridegroom, and a large saps phire, whilst she carried a shower bouquet of lovely white orchids.

The original idea of a full choral service had to be abandoned, owing to the lack of space for choir boys, and the service proceeded in its customary simplicity. As Dr Satterlee afterwards remarked, the President's daughter had not, unlike many American brides that he had known, requested tile omission of the word "obey" from the marriage service. The mutual pledges were uttered by both the bride and bridegroom in firm clear tones.

When the preliminary question was asked, Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" President Roose velt stopped forward and placed his daugh. ter's right hand in that of Mr Longworth. The ring was placed on her finger by

Mr and Mrs Longworth remained on the dais whilst the company filed past tender- ing their congratulations. Mrs Roosevelt afterwards held a formal reception in the Blue Room. The wedding breakfast was a very merry affair, as may be judged from one incident. Finding the knife which she was using to cut the bridecake somewhat dull, the bride borrowed the sword of Mr McCawley, the Mayor, for the pupose. For the majority of the guests the buffet. system of refreshments was adopted.

"Lady Hunt worth's Experiment" will be staged by the Amateur Dramatic Com- pany at the City Hall to morrow evening, tho dress rehearsal takes place to-night. From the score the comedy has every in- dication of being eminently successful and the caste of characters is such as to lead us to believe that justice will be done to the piece.

It is recognised by the Vicar (Rev Andley Pillenger) that she is a lady with a Under the same roof lives the

other boats of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. The service speed of the "Viking" is 22.2 knots, that of the fastest of the paddle-boats on the same line is 20 knots; but whilst the Viking" uses only 0.472 tons per nautical mile, the paddle-boat takes 0.614 tons. A triple-expansion scrow steamer in the same, service of five-eighths the displacement of the Viking," and run- ning at 17 knots, only burns 0,317 tons of coal. At the same speed and displacement she would, therefore, take somewhere about 0.9 ton per nautical mile, so that the saving due to the turbines is very remarkable. Again, the Fairfield-built Channel steamer "Dieppe" consumed 15 per cent, loas coal at full power than twin-sorow steamer of cor- responding size and power. Indeed, the date given would seem to show that, com- pared with the reciprocating marine engine, the marine-turbine shows relatively greater superiority than the turbo-gonerator does over modern electric reciprocating sets. In fact, as matters stand, the two latter appear to be practically identical in economy.

DEATH OF AN OLD CRICKETER.

The body of Richard Humphrey, cric keter, was found in the River Thamer last month. At the inquest an open verdict was returned. Richard Humphrey was one of the third team to visit Australia in 1873-4, which was captained by W. G. Grace.. The matches played by that eleven were all against odds. Humphrey was born in December, 1848. He played for Surrey, taking part in the famous match in 1872 against M.C.C. and Ground, a contest- which began and was concluded in the one day, to the discomfiture of M.0.0., who in the first innings had seven out for no runs. The whole side was out in three-quarters of an hour for 16. Humphrey was one of the not-out men wh.on Surrey won by five wickets. He retired from cricket in the early eighties.
