The bridesmaids v cre Mif>« Mary Rist and Miss Bridget Rist, and the groomsmen Messrn. James Knott and Daniel Reidy. The Children of Mary Confraternity, of which the bride was president, attended in large numbers and formed a guard of honor in the church, and as the party was leaving a bouquet was presented to the bride by Miss Mary Reidy on behalf of the members. The wedding breakfast took place at 10 o'clock, when Rev. Fathers Brodie, Moore, Purton, 0.5.8., and Buckley, Mr. J. J. Callaghan (father of the bridegrooom, of N.S.
