MARRIAGE OF lUll. H. M. STANLEY AND MISS D. TENNANT. ■ ♦ IMPOSING CEREMONY AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY. I A BRILLIANT SCENE. I SPECIAL DESCRIPTION. FUL LIST OF GUESTS AND WEDDING PRE, SENTS. I [BY MOBIKN.] LONDON, SATURDAY NIGHT. This morning this minhty city-the Metro- polis of the coinmercial world—seemed to have hot one thought, to the exolmioD of everything else-the marriage of Mr. Henry Morton Stanley and Alias Dorothy Tenuant, Cadoxton Lodge, Neath, and of 2, llichmond-terrace, Whitehall, London. Knowing the history of the bridegroom from his birth upwards, the absorbing interest felt by the proud aristocracy of Dritain and the humble peasantry alike in the eveut about to take place at the venerable Abbey of Westminster, wherein mighty kings, fair queens, and other chief personages who have played leading parts in the history of Great liritain during a period of at least a thousand years are lapped in lead," one felt that the ago of chivalry and romance was not dead. Mr. .Stanley would appear to-day without a single blood relation-to employ a common expression—to back him up! lIe would face to-day the proudest aristooracy on earth, without any other recom- mendation than that which his own individual deeds of heart and brain have acquired in the battle of life. In the year 1850 he left Ffvnon Heuno Farm, St. Asaph, for Liverpool, abso- lutely alone and with buta few shillings in hi3 pocket. To-dav what a contrast I He leads to the altar this afternoon one of the great favourites of London society I I THE SCENE OUTSIDE THE ABBEY. The wedding ceremony was announced to take place at two o'clock this afternoon, but at one o'clock the pavement approaches to the west and north entrances to the vene- rable building, owing to the vast crowds assembled to witness the arrival and departure of the wedding party, could only be reached by the intervention of the police officers, who were there in considerable Ltuin. i bers. Carriages, drawn by pairs of horses, passed incessantly down the road, which was lifed with spectators, and then underneath the great archway leading into Dean's Yard. Holding a special permit, I was admitted that way, to find myself beyond in the midst of many fair women and brave men." I ei-e-, close to the weather-beaten walls of the entrance into the sanctuary of Westminster, where m remote ages many hounded ones sought the special protection ot the Church, which the proudest kiugs dared not violate, whito satin wedding favours were being handed to the liveried servants in charge of each carriage as they arrived in rapid succession. Out of those carriages alighted ladies in light summer costumes, and then they passed into the Abbey through a low and narrow venerable doorway. Each had to exhibit his or her credentials of admission, and each was guided by otlicials to that part of the Abbey to which the ticket admitted the holder. TllH SCINE INSIDE THE NAv K. The impression made on one in passing from the bright sunshine into the gloom of the inside of the Abbey was a solemn one. Kverywhere there met the eyes memorials of the dead. On walls and pedestals were seen tokens of affection for departed friends. Many of those marble memorials were discoloured with age, and seemed, in a languago of their own, to convey to the mind of the visitors, in all the gaiety of youth and beauty, disagree- able verities. From the great west door the way we entered the building to the entrance into the .choir on our right was lined many deep with visitors, mostly ladies, all facing the middle aisle. Passing up this middle aisle, there appeared a space in the floor left uncovered. On that bare space was seen the name David Livingstone, 1873" Under that spot lay the mortal remains of the great Scotch missionary and traveller of Africa. On the centre later on was placed a gorgeous wreath of flowers, and fastened to it was a oard in Mr. Stanley's own handwriting containing the words, David Living- stone. In Memoriam. By 1 Ilenry Morton Stanley:" It was noteworthy that Mr. Stanley's name was flanked by inverted commas, placed there by himself. this fact implied that the name was an assumed one. Against the low rail, on either side of the grave, were two other immense wreaths of exquisite white flowers, eaoh wreath being about a yard in diameter. One, that on the right, contained the name David Livingstone," made of purple flowers. Last night Miss Dorothy Tennant manifested her deep interest in this act on the part of Mr. Stanley by requesting me to pay special attention to thisgrave and its floral burround- mgs. The vergers and other officials of the Abbey were flitting silently from one place to another, and the publio, in a silent and orderly manner, continued to pour into the building, those coming in last being directed to the hack rows of seats, the only ones left unoccupied. I passed up in the direction of the choir, to find the two sides filled comfort- ably, but by no means crowded. As is always the case with visitors to the House of Com- mons, there was one face which attracted immediate attention. It was the face of Mr. Gladstone, by whose side sat Mrs. Gladstone. 1 secured a seat near—whom, think you ?— no less an individual than Sir William Har- court and Lady Haroourt, and in olose proximity to the Duke and Duchess of Aber- corn. On the opposite side of the transept aisle, on my right, was Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett, one of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty. But I must drop naming nota. bilities. All seemed impressed with the solemn associations of the historic vast i edifice, dedicated to the worship of God and to the memory of St. Peter, the Galilean fisherman who became the fisher of men. One's thoughts wandered back over the cen- turies to the period when the spot whereon we were assembled was sacred to the worship of ltoinan Apollo; and then to St. Edward the Confessor — the remains of Wales's greatest foe, namely, Edward I. Were he sensible now, I am not certain I would not invite him to witness the bride- groom to-day, as evidencing that Cambria still produce heroic men and daughters as fair as Claudia liufiina, the Eurgan of the Welsh chronicles. WAITING FOR THE WEDDING I PARTY. All the invited guests have arrived. The scene is a brilliant one. Right and left of the aisle leading to the altar steps are ranks of beautiful ladies in light summer costumes of the loveliest description. The front rank on the left consists of Mrs. Tennant (the bride's mother), Mrs. Myers (a sister), Miss Tennant (another sister), Lady Burdett Coutts, and several gentlemen. The front rank directly opposite consists of the Duke and Duchess of A hereon i and several other hi.gh-born dames. Then behind, on both sides, are file after file of other ladies. Standing Oil their pedestals in the opposite transept from whioh I view th\ ecene are the life-size marble figures of many past states- men and warriors of the Empire. Suddenly the great organ booms a signal, and all rise to their feet, a mighty host I W hat does the boom and the uprising mean P Passing into the Abbey at the west entrance is the peasant- born boy of Wales Ono isBtrangely stirred by the moving scene and the varied associa- tions of that wbite-headed, small figure, advancing slowly, feebly, and leaning on a stick in one hand and the other resting on the strong arm of a friend. Behind him walk the offioers of the African advance column— Dr. Parke, Lieutenant Stairs, Captain Nelson, Mr. Jephson. and Mr. Bonny. Then follow a Mr. Wilson (private secretary) and a young negro named Sile ben Osman, wearing a Turkish fez. He is a native of Zanzibar, and isMr. Stanley's personal attendant. Mr.Stanlej took a chair provided for him on the right in advance of the altar steps. As he ad- vanced the organ played See, the conquer- ing hero comes." On the evening of the day he was made citizen of London, and after the banquet given in his honour at the Mansion House, 1, with three others, had a private interview with him. It was a few daya before he left on his last expedition. His hair was then brown, with a slight tinge of grey. lIe was on that occasion buoyant, and his movements were lively. To-day it was very difficult to believe he was the same individual. His hair to-day waa all white as snow, and his complexion, the expression of his eyes, and feeble gait denoted premature old age. The olficers of the advance oolumn now came and stood in front I THE BUIDEGROOM. of me, and I availed myself of the opportunity to whimper a few words to young Dr, Parke. Mr. Stanley," I whispered, seems very ill." Considering what he hasgone through," was the whispered reply, he is pretty well." "But," I continued, "did you not endure the same hardships as he did, and yet you seem in good health ?" "I have not endured anything like what he has done, answered the brave dootor, with a shalto of the head. All this while Mr. Stanley continued to occupy his chair, and he gazed with a side glance in the direotion of the far- oil west entrance into the Abbey. I ought to have mentioned that the numerous surpliced choir had passed up the steps into the choir in front of the altar, followed by the Bishop of Hipon, Dean Bradley of West- minster, the Master of Trinity, and Arch- deacon Farrar, I THE BmDE COMICS: Far off there appeared entering at the west door a white figure, with her left arm resting on that of a gentleman. They were Miss Dorothy Tonnant and her brother, Mr. Charles Coombe Tennant. Then followed her bridemaida-her niece Miss Sylvia Myers and Miss BelinoaFinlay, exceedingly pretty children, both, as it seemed, under ten years of age. Then came little Masters Leopold and Harold Myers, dressed in the costume of the period of Charles II. The moment the bride made her ap- pearance the bridegroom, still leaning on his stick, rose, and Dr. Bridge oomruenoed a wedding march. The bride looked lovely, and seemed thoroughly self-possessed, Her dress was a magnificent one, after the stylo of the Tudor period, the gown of rich white Bilk and satin, the front being of satin and the back of corded silk. The panels were of satin richly embroidered, as was the corsage, with seed pearls. Over this the bride wore a long veil and orange blossoms. The ornaments were diamonds. Suspended from the neck was her Majesty the Queen's gold miniature portrait, surrounded by 38 brilliants. It will he recollected that this miniature was her Majesty's wedding present to Mr. Stanley in recognition of his valuable services to the world. The tulle veil was fastened on the left of the head with a gold and ruby star and crescent—apparently an Egyptian Order. Mr. Stanley advanced a step or two to meet his bride. The organ ceased playing, and Archdeacon Fai-rar, boolt in hand, descended the steps from the sacrarium. Meanwhile the bride and bridegroom stood side bv side. The bride seemed now taller than "John Baoh," who, in words which will live in history, his fair Dorothy has designated as her grand Welsh husband." THE MARRIAGE RITES. I Archdeacon Farrar having read the prelimi- DR. T. II. PAHKE, Of the Army Medical Corps. A brilliant operator and physician, who nursed Stanley duiinx his illness. 1- nary portion of the marriage service, the Bishop of Ripon descended the steps of the sacrarium, and the rest of the service was proceeded with. At intervals during the entire ceremony the bride could hardly con- oeal the anxiety she evidently felt respecting the bridegroom's health, frequently glancing at his pale fa,e. After the ring had been by Mr. Stanley first placed on the book the bishop held and then on the finger of the bride, the wedded pair, followed by the little bridemaids and the two nephews, and then by the officers of the African advance column, asoended the steps of the sacrarium, and proceeded to the front of the altar rails. There both knelt. Occasionally during the remainder of the beautiful cere- money Mr. Stanley was compelled by illness to leave the side of the now Mrs. Stanley and take his seat in a chair provided therefor his service, a little to the right of tho front of thealtar. At the close of the aervice the oran pealed forth loud and prolonged trumpet notes. The hymn commencing as follows followed: Father of Life, confessing Thy m:i.j<"ty iinrt puwer. We seek 'i'h.v ^melons blessing Tu Krcet. tho bridal hour." The Dean pronounced the blessing, and Dr. Bridge played the Wedding hrDh" a1 Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, followed by their numerous friends, left tbe sacred building. The newly-wedded couple proceeded slowly through dense crowds iu their carriage towards 2, Richmond terrace, White- hall, where they alighted. The blook between the Houses of Parliament and the gates lading to Riohmond- -terraoe was a thing to be remembered. To afford some idea of the number of carriages and the class of visitors to the bride's home after the wedding, I may men- tion that I at one time counted 51 footmen in livery standing together in a group in front of Mrs. Tennant's mansion. I THE GARDEN PARTY. I There was a great crush of visitors at the mansion passing through to view the remark- able collection ot wedding presents. Among the visitors were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Aber- dare, Sir John Jones Jenkins and Lady Jenkins, Mr. Wm. Crawshay and Mrs. Crawshay, Cyfarthfa Castle; Mr. Thomas Williams, Sunny baiilc, Abordulais; Mr. Thomas Williams, Neath, solicitor to the Tennant Estate; Mr. Arthur Williams, Mr. Charles Henry Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Dickson, Mr. Griffith Thomas Mr. L. G. Mouohel, Briton Ferry; General Benson, Gower; and Mrs. Miers, Ynyspen- llwch. During the afternoon Lieutenant Dan Godfrey and the band of the Coldstream Guards (30 in number) played in the gardens. Among other tunes played was a selection of Welsh airs, consisting of Harlech," Y Gwenith Gwyn," "Llwyn On," HclaV Ysgyfarnog," Codiadyr Haul," "Jenny Jones," U Ar Hyd y Nos," "Gyru'r Byd o'n BIaen," Cymro o B'}e," and Yn Nô. Calan," IV Gadlv< The atten- Rhwym wrth Dv WregyB. The atten- dance at the garden party was very large. Shortly after four o'olock Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, aooompanied by Dr. Parke, left in their carriage for the railway station en route for Hampshire. Their departure was the signal for a lively demonstration in front of the mansion, the happy pair being well peppered with rice, particularly by ladies standing on the balcony. Dr. Parke, who did not quail before the arrows of the forest dwarfs, seemed to do so beneath the rice showers hurled by fair hands. I immediately afterwards saw affectionate friends hardly able to oonceal the melting mood consequent upon the departure of the lady from her old home. As the carriage emerged into White- hall the vast throngs there rent the air with their plaudits. The entire arrangements for the garden party were entrusted to Mr. Searoy, Con- naught-street, confeotioner to 1f..U.U. the Prince of Wales. I [FROM 00n SPECIAL REPOETLIiS.] LONDON, SATURDAY. The marriage of Mr. Henry Morton Stanley to Miss Dorothy Tennant was celebrated at Westmin. ster Abbey to-day, in the prosence of a large and fashionable company, including many ladies and gentlemen prominent in the social and political world. Interest in the event was heightened at the last moment by a report tltat, in conse- quonco of the Indisposition of Mr. Stanley, it was doubtful whether the ceremony would take place. Fortunately, there wu no Iiiteli, and nithougli the bridegroom was obviously weak and still in considerable pain, lie went through the trying ordeal without tho slightest faltering or hesitancy. During portions of the service be seemed glad to be able to sit down for a few moments; but this was mainly whilst the choral selections were in progress and towards the end, when Dr. Butler delivered a specially-prepared address to the newly-married couple. For tho rest the in- tropid explorer obeyed tho instructions of the rubtic to the letter. I THE SCJNB AT THE ABBEY. I It had been publicly announced that only asuaaii CAPTAIN R. H. NELSON, A native of Leeds, Who WAS with Methuen's Horse when the 13min Fasba Expedition was organised. portion of the Abbey—the northern transept- would bo available for the accommodation of persons not provided with tickets. In consequence the com. patition for places amongst the general public was very keen, and two hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the ceremony a crowd, con- sisting mainly of well-dressed ladies, had begun to gather at the north door. By one o'clock the assemblage at the public entrance was so great that it was clear many people would be unable to giin admittance, and thereafter most of the spectators, who continued to arrive in large numbers, made for the open space near tho entrance to Deans-yard, by which route the invited guests passed in to the Abbey The arrangements inside the ancient edifice were very complete, and once ticket-holders had passed the outer barriers, all was plain sailing. Bj means of differently-coloured tickets, the polico and the vergers in charge of tho various entrances were able to see at a glance which part of the building the visitors were bound for, and everything went so smoothly that before the public were admitted at the north door nearly every bidden guest was in his or her allotted place. In addition to the large crowd which assembled at the west end IIf the Abbey to watch the arrival of the bride and bride- gi-oo m and their frionds, many people bad gathered along the routo from Whitehall to Broad Sanctuary, and outside the gates of Richmand-terrace the pressure was so great that a special force of police was needed to keep a way for the carriages. I THE FIRST ARRIVALS. One of the first of the guests to arrive at the Abbey was Sir John Millais, who was followed after a short interval by Sir F, Leighton. Neither of the eminent artists was, however, recognised by the crowd. Mr. Gladstone drove up a few minutes later with Mrs. Gladstone. They were at once identified, and were cheered as they passed ihrough the archway into Doan's-yard» Amongst other eatly arrivals were Sir W. Har- court, Captain Shaw, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Aslrninad-Bartlett, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts and Mr Lurdett-Coutts, the Lord Chancellor, Sir Stafford Northcote. and other well. known personages. ARRIVAL OF MR. STANLEY. At a quarter to two Mr. Stanley, accompanied by M. Le Comte D'Aroche, his best man, who was specially commissioned by the King of the Belgians to attend and represent his Royal Highness at the ceremony, drovo up amid cbeers. Mr. Stanley, who looked pale and weary, leaned heavily upon M. D'Aroche as he alighted from fils brougham, and walked slowly up the nave and choir carrying a stout walking-stick in his disengaged hand. A second enrriuge, which followed close upon that containing the bridegroom and his best man, brought Lieutenant Stairs, Captain Nelson, and Mr. Mountenay Jtphson, who, with Mr. Bonny, were to net as groomsmen. Dr. Kwans, Mr. Stanley's medical attendant, alsu occupied n seat in the second brougham, Mr. Bonny having intimated that he preferred to walk to the Abbey. As the bridegroom and his fellow-travellers in Darkest Africa entered the building Professor Bridge, who presided at the organ, struck the first chords of the beautiful Lohongvin" bridal music, which coutinued until tiii bridal party arrived and had taken their nlaces at the foot of the sacrarium steos. A few minutes before two o'clock the clerical procewdon entered the Abbey from the Jerusalem Chamber. First came the choir, then the precentors and minor dignitaries, the BishoP of Ripon, the Dean and Archdeacon of Westminster, and Dr. Butler, the Master of Trinity, bringing up the rear. Almost simulta- neously with the entry of the ecclesiastics the bridemaids, two little girls, Miss Sylvia Myers and Miss Pinlay, the first a niece and the second a favourite child-friend of the bride-proceeded to the great western door to await the arrival of the bridft. With tbetn was a nephew of the bride -Master Leopold Myers-who was to act as page and train-bearer. Mrs. Tennant and Mrs. Myers, together with other relatives and intimate friends of the family, bad by this time taken tboir allotted seats under the lantern right and left of the central aisle, immediately In front of the sacrarium rails. During the interval prior to the arrival of the bride Mr. Stanloy, who was fur- nished with a stat, was the recipient of many con- gratulations on bis partial recovery. ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDE. I At two o'clock precisely the bride arrived, in company with her brother, Mr. Charles Coombe Tennant, who afterwards gave her away. The officiating clergy descended from the sacrarium as the bridal procession moved up through the nave, and, halting under the centre of the lantern, turned and led the way to the sacrarium, where the first part of the oaremony was to be per- formed. On their way to the olioir both Mr. I THE BRIDE. Stanley and his bride had to pass over the grave of Dr, Livingstone, the exact spot being marked by appropriate wreaths, which had been sent for the occasion—one by the officers of the Emin Pasha Kelief Expedition, and tho other by Mr. Stanley himself. I THE BRIDAL DRESS. The bride's wedding gown was of rich white satin nnd white corded silk, embroidered with a profusion of seed pearls and trimmed here aDd there with orange blossoms. The most elaborate part of the embroidery was upon the satin panel which formed the front of the costume and upon the satin corsage. The bodice was furnished with the popular Medici collar, and the veil, which partially concealed more orange blossoms in the hair, was of plain tulle, the costume being com- pleted with a long train. The veil was kept in its placo by diamond stare. The bride's other orna- ments were a magnificent diamond aigrette and n diamond necklacc, from which depended the miniature set in disinonds.presented by the Queen. It is not usually necossary to make special men- tion of such details as shoes, but in tho present instance, by the utilisation of the newly-intro- ducod silver leather, the artist had succeeded in heightening the effect of the costume, and the circumstance was much commented upon by the sumptuary counoisseurs present. THE BRIDEMAIDS' ATTIRE. The two little bridemaids wore long white satin petticoats, with overskhts of white crdpe delisse, the style being that of the Charles I. period. They had no hats, but instead wore charming wreatlw of jismine. Their ornaments were crystal heart- shaped lockets, with pearl and turquoise knots, the Rifts of the bridegroom. The bride carried a large bouquet of choice white exotica and maidenhair fern, and the bridemaids posies of white roses.

Gltidstone's gown was of rich ruby brocade, over which she wore a magnificent Irish lace 'bawl. The Baroness Burdett-Coutts lind on a pale mauve silk costume. When all was ready for the commencement of the ceremony the Abbey presented a very brilliant appearance- Tho varied colourings and rich texture of the visitors, costumes made an excellent background to the spotless white of the central figures, whilst. the vestments of the clergy in front of the altar and the darker hues of the uninvited spectators' garments in the northern transept lentfurther contrast to the picture. I THE SERVICE, I Archdeacon Farrar read the opening sentences of the service, the Bishop of Ripon performing the LIEUTENANT W. G. STAIRS, R.E., Born at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in July. 1863. Was educnted at Merchiston Castle School. Edinburgh and at the Royal Military College, Klitgotoij, Ontario. He was severely wounded by au arrow to an engage- ment on the Aruwlini River. actual marriage ceremony. The subsequent por- tion of the service, in which intonation is needed, was conducted by Precentor Flood Jones. The anthem, which was specially composed for the occasion by the organist (Professor Bridge), was set to the worda, The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it" (Prov.x., 22), and "The Lord prosper you; we wish you good luck in the name of the Lord" (Psitim cxxix., 8). I THE MARRIAGE ADDRESS. A special address was delivered by Dr. Butler after the benediction, to receive which the wedding party ascended into the sacrarium and knelt on the altar steps. Dr. Butler said :— A few simple words of Christian greeting may fittingly bring to a dose this solemn tervico which has made you one. Others elsewhere, speaking and writing to you-and from what land will you not be receiving to-day messages in speaking or in writing ?—will in their various tones of respect or affection wish you now prosperity; but it is our privilege as ministers of Christ to speak to you, not in our own name, but in that of our Master, Who never seems to be quite so noar as in the hour of a great sorrow, a great enterprise, a great anxioty, or, again, a great and overwhelming happiness. Therefore, at this solemn hour, when you have plighted your faith 'either to other,' and when the heart of every truo man and true woman here adds its inward benediction to those great words, 'Those whom God hath joined together let no man nut asunder,' what blessing can anv true minister of Christ ask for you to compare with this, that Ho will Himself henceforth be closer to you than ever before, guiding you into deeper truth, trading you into larger love, and teaching you as the years go by that there ie nothing so grOAt or so be autiful ill human life M the willingness to bear or to suffer things great or small for His Naine's sake ? It IA with no common sympathy tlmt tiiousands of hearts are looking to you here to-day. If we could interpret the deepest voice among the many voices with which they speak of you, it would, 1 believe, be tbis-" desire that your union may be so blessed of Uod that whatever there was of heroism in the past, whatever of that greatness which Is borne in solitude and nut luted in danger, whatever brave dream or vision vf lightening the burdens of the human race, far from being chilled by domestic happiness, may be quickened and confirmed by the inspira- tion ot a perfect sympathy. And. therefore, interpreting, as I believe, the hearts of many thou- sands, I dare to add one prayer of blessing to the others which have been put up for vou. May He in whose presence we all stand, He to whom all hearts are open and all desires known, He who has led you all your lives long, often by straoge patb.,aow to be mingled in one patli together;He who has stood by you before in sickness, but then in solitude; He who has been your guide end com- panion in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in peril. of robbers, in perils of the wilderness, and has now brought you to great honour and comforted you on every side-may He keep alive in you both all that is simple and manly and womanly, all that keeps men and women unspotted from the world and meet for every high and holy purpose; may He guide you safely through the perplexities and wanderings of life. and when, in His own good time, yeu reach that bourne from which no traveller returns, may the voice of those that come after us agree in attesting that the union now solemnised within these famous rind hallowed walls was a union blessed of God, a union of a brave man and a good wife, a union begun, continued, and ended in God." DEPARTURE OF THE BRIDAL PARTY. After Dr. Butlet's address the choir sang Nr, Jones's marriage liyinn," Father of Life Confess- ing," to mueic by the late Mr. James Turle; and toho final blessing, pronounced by the Dean of Westminster, brought the ceremony to a close. The usual salutations and congratulations having been exchanged, the procession was re-formed, and the bridal party, preceded by the clergy and followed by a number of relatives and friends, i-epairei to the Jerusalem Chamber to sign the register. Whilst Dr. Butler delivered his address Mr. Stanley was accommodated witt. a chair. Both the bride and bridegroom spoke the marriage declaration in a very low tone, not a word being heard in the press seats. As the newly-married couple left the Abbey the Wedding March was played. During the pro- gress of the service the crowd outside was largely augmented, and some thousands of people remained in the vicinity of the Abbey until the wedding party and the bulk of the invited guests had left..»>* WITNESSES TO THE MARRIAGE. Amongst those who signed the register, In addition to the bride and bridegroom, were Bishop of Ripon, the Dean of Westminster, Mr. Gladstone, Sir Frederick Leighton, Baroness Burdett-Coutts, Mr. W. Burdett-Coutts, M.P., the Duko of Abercorn, Mrs. French Sheldon, Mr. Charles Coombe Tennant, Mr. J. W. Myers, Lord Justice Howen, Mr. A. C. Lyall, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Bruce, Mr. F. W. Grant, Mr. E. H. Lecky, Mr. ,1: Marston, and Sir W. Mackinnon. MRS. TENNANT'S RECEPTION. Although the reception to take place at tho residence of the bride's mother iu Richmond- terrace, Whitehall, was fixed for three o'clock, many guests had arrived before that hour, several of whom had been unable to attend the service at the Abbey. In Whitehall itself the scene was a curious one, hundreds of eager sighteers blocking the footways and occupying somewhat perilous 'vantage points in their determination to obtain a good view of the # bride on her journey to and from the Abbey. Railings, street refuge!, and similar elevated points were fully occupied, whilst the lingering traffic of omnibuses and cabs called for particular attention from the police on duty. Entrance to Richmond-terrace was denied to all but the privi- loged few who possessed invitations to the function, and the spectators, therefore, formed a lane reaching into the roadway down which the visitors had to pass. So quickly did the guests arrivo that the houae soon began to get rather uncomfortably crowdedand after a brief survey of the many presents there was a general movement to the pretty garden at the back. Mrs. Gladstone was an early arrival,passing in almost unnoticed, until a friendly arm of one of the gentlemen led her through the crush. At lust came the long- expected bride and bridegroom, the former, not unnaturally, a little flushed, whilst Mr. Stanley appeared really ill. In the gardens several spacious and elegantly-decorated marquees had been erected, in which refreshments wero partaken of by the guests. Music was provided by the band of the Grenadier Guaids, and at about four o'clock, when all the guests had arrived, the scene wne a particularly pleasing one, owing not a little to the many charming costumes worn by the tidies. MR. AND MHS. STANLEY LEAVE FOR THE HONEYMOON. About a quarter to four a movement amongst the carriages indicated that the bride and bridegroom weie about to leave on their Journey for the honeymoon. Directly after- wards Mr. and Mrs. Stanley came out of the house and entered the carriage amidst 60ine cheering, whilst a shower of rice was rained in upon them from all sides. In the midst of this excitement they drove away, loud and hearty cheering from the crowd greeting them as they passed into Whitehall on their way to the railway station. The guests shortly afterwards began to depart, although it was not until some hours later that Whitehall had resumed its normal appearance. THIS MORE PROMINENT GUESTS.
