Wedding Bells.— A pretty wedding was celebrated at the Church of Christ, Waimea stieet,on New Year's Day, the contracting parties being Elsie, eldest daughter of the late William Frederick Barr of Greenwich, England, and Robert Barron, third son of John Henry Witty, of Highgate, England. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev.^J. J. Franklyn, the choir rendering appropriate hymns. The bride looked charming in a silver grey voile dress and pale chiffon hat, and was attended by Miss Edie Pitts and Miss Elsie Combes as bridesmaids, who were dressed in simple taste in white, with pink hate. The church was tastefully decorated, and the bride and bridesmaids each carried shower bouquets. Mr Harry Page of Nelson, as best man and Mr David Ferguson, of Auckland as, groomsman, supported the bridegroom. After the ceremony, a reception of over thirty guests was held at the house of the officiating minister. The presents were numerous and of a useful and artistic character. (Communicated). Successful Competitors. — At the Exhibition Dog Show, held in Cnristchurch this week, Messrs Betta and Savage were very successful with a pair of Fox terriers, winning with Sefton Trixie (a seven months old puppy) three first and one third prize, and with Hazlemere Snowball v.h.c., and when shown together in the brace class being awarded 2nd prize. This must be considered very satisfactory as the competition was verj r keen, there being over one hundred entries in Fox terriers alone— a colonial record — including imported. English and some crack Australian bired dogs. Mr. E. Savage's deer fyound Gelert also secured third prize against some imported Australian bounds.
