The wedding breakfast had been ordered and the cake had been made. It so happened that the wedding was to have been a quiet one, but it came as a great shock to the few invited, guests to learn on Tuesday that there would bo no wedding. Coupled with this annoaive* ment was another to the effect that the intended bridegroom bad already left the city in order to join a liner at Adelaide for London. It is understood that originally Miss Mackay intended to go to -Colombo for her wedding with Sir. Graham and that her father's objections overruled het| wishes.
