Fox was best man, and Mr. W. O’Brien was groomsman. The bride’s dress was of white merve silk with pearl trimmings, and she wore the customary wreath and veil. The bridegroom presented the bride with a gold necklet and amethyst and pearl ' pendant, and to the bridesmaids gold bangles. The bride’s gift- to the bridegroom was a gold pendant. Many valuable, ornamental, and useful presents were given to the happy couple by friends and well-wishers.
