ended the Greek services. Tue pro-

cession then slowly formed, proceeding

to the Hall of Alexander for the

Anglican ser-vice. Dean Stanley, of

Westminster Abbey, officiated. The walls

were decorated with battle pictures.

Dean Stanley, who during the

solemnisation of the Greek church ser-

vice, wore a Protestant Episcopal Doctor

of Divmitjhatand gnwn, and who now

appeared on the altar wearing an

Episcopal surplice with a jewelled

collar of the Order of the Bath around

his neck, was assisted by two resident

English clergymen. Both the American and

the English colony were gathered on the

left of the altar. Conspicuous among

them was Governor Jewett, the American

Minister, Lord Loftus, the English

Minister, and Diplomatic officials. Many

English offi-cers, in full costume, were

also present. Especially notable was the

venerable Prince Gortshakoff, surrounded

hythe leading mem-bers of the Russian

nobility. The Episcopal chants were

given by Russian chorister lads in long

crimson dresses. When the mar-riage

procession entered, tho bride walked

"between her father and the bridegroom.

Prince Arthur walked behind. The beauti-

ful Anglican wedding service was then

im-pressively performed by Dean Stanley,

the Prince and Princess responding

according to the form enjoined in the

Book of Com-mon Prayer. The delivery of

the final benediction, " God the Father,

God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost-

bless, preserve, and keep you," was

especially touching. The services being

concluded, Dean Stanley con-gratulated

the newly-married couple. Several Roman

Catholic dignitaries were present. The

bride looked earnest, sweet, fair-faced

; the bridegioom grave, self-possessed.

The Princess of Waiea was lovely, pale_

and delicate. The German Crown Princess

looked healthy-the image of her mother,

Queen Victoria. The Prince of Wales waa

ap-parently on excellent terms with the

German Prince, and both looked well.

During the Ceremony in the English

chapel,the Empress of Russia, being a

confirmed invalid and fatigued, seemed

overcome, and made a motion of holding a

handkerchief to her eyes when the

married couple saluted her. The ceremony

being concluded, the crowd dis-persed.

There was only a limited dis-play of

popular enthusiasm. An illumina-tion of

the public squares took place, and the

general scene was one of splen-did

festivity. The service formed an extra-

ordinary combination of ceremony,

wealth, pomp, and splendour. After the

marriage rites there was a banquet at

the palace, and sub-sequently a ball at

the gorgeous hall. At the close of the

ball the bridal couple were for-mally

marched to tho bridal chamber, accom-

panied by the Emperor and officers of

the Court. The festivities were

continued after the retirement of the

happy couple, the Em-peror being

present
