AGAIN A BENEDICT] Gen. Harrison Woclclod Last Even ing to Mrs. Dimmick. A VERY UNPRETENTIOUS CEREMONY Ouly Tliirty-six Wltnes*<>H —The (iroom'i Gift to the Bride—Not Miuiy Curiosity Seekers at the Chlirch Door— The lirhlnl Gown. New York, April 7.—Perhups us sim ple a wedding 1 as has been wit nessed within the sacred walls of St. Thomas'church was solemnized half nn hour before 6 o'clock last evening, when Gen. Harrison, twenty-third president of the United States, entered into the holy bonds of wedlock with Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dimmick. Not one of the thirty-six favored witnesses of the ceremony could fail to have been impressed with its singular unpre tentiousness. Both the bride and groom declared that this was a private affair of their own, and they set about and conducted it as best befitting their tastes. The assembled crowd outside the church showed the interest the public had in the affair. Secrecy as to the exact hour of the ceremony had been carefully maintained, which, in a measure, served to check the growth of the curious. Then, too, the weather was not inviting enough, even to the curious, to attract as great a mass as was feared. The Church Decoration*. The chancel of St. Thomas' church was handsomely decorated with flowers. The decorations consisted chiefly of white lilacs, Easter lilies and evergreens. On either side of the chan cel were umbrella-shaped banks com posed of white lilies. Behind each of these floral pieces was a bank of lilies, with a background of palms and ever greens. Near the spot where Gen. Harrison and his bride stood were two large vases of lilacs. Lilies were tied on the pews with broad white satin ribbons. The Guests. The guests began to arrive at the church shortly before 5 o'clock. As they entered they were received by tlie two ushers, F. F. Tibbott and Daniel M. Ramsdeil. Mrs. John F. Barker, the bride's sister, occupied a front pew on the left, and Mr. and Mrs. Hinehot, the one on the right. Behind Mrs. Parker sat Gov. Morton and Col. Mar vin, his military private secretary. In the succeeding pews were Senator and Mrs. Stephen IJ. Elkins, ex-secretary of state John \V. Foster and Mrs. Foster, ex-attornej r general W. 1. Miller and Mrs. Miller and George IV. Boyd of the Pennsylvania railroad. In pews back of Mr. and Mrs. Pinchot sat relatives and friends of the bride. They were Major and Mrs. Richard Parker, Chan cellor and Mrs. McGill, the Misses Dimmick and Mrs. Briggs, Mr. and Mrs. Leeds, Norman Leeds and the Misses Leeds, Mr. and Mrs. Broughton and Miss Lambert, Gen. and Mrs. Fitz John Porter and the Misses Por ter. Arrival of the Bride and Groom. It was just 5 o'clock when Gen. Har rison and Gen. Benj. F. Tracy, his best man, entered a carriage at the Fifth Avenue hotel and started for the church, where they arrived at 5:20 o'clock. They entered through the rector's residence on Fifty-third street and went directly to the vestry, where they awaited the arrival of the bride. Gen. Harrison wore a long frock coat, dark trousers and white gloves. In the lapel of his coat was a buttonniere of lilies of the valley. Gen. Tracy wore a frock coat and striped trousers, and u small bouquet of white violets. At 6:05 o'clock Mrs. Dimmick and her brother-in-law, Lieut. John F. Parker, U. S. N., were driven from their resi dence, 40 East Thirty-eighth street, and reached the church at 5:18 o'clock. They entered by the main door on Fifth avenue and went direct to the tower room to the left of the vestibule, where wraps und coats were discarded. It was 5:32 o'clock when the two large doors leading to the centre aisle were thrown aside and the ushers, side by side, stood in the passage way. At the same moment, Dr. J. Wesley Brown, the officiating clergyman, robed in a white cassock, appeared from the ves try followed by the sexton. Tlic rev erend doctor passed in behind the sanctuary rail, the attendant closing the gates after him. The llrldo Thoroughly Computed. Dr. Brown knelt in prayer a few mo ments, and then the ever popular strains of "Lohengrin" burst forth, and re-echoed back from the empty stalls with double volume. Then the door leading to the vestry on the left of the altar opened and the silvery locks of Generals Harrison and Tracy were seen. There was an awkward pause for a minute and the assemblage looked interestingly, first at the altar and then at the rear entrance. Finally, at 5:33 o'clock, the bride appeared and fell in behind the ushers. At the same moment the minister noddei] his head, signalling the groom to step forward. Gen. Harrison and his best man at once came forward and stood upon the top chancel step. The left hand of the general was bared and ho carried in his right the loft hand glove. Immedi ately the bridal procession was begun. The two ushers walked well forward and took a position on the second chan cel step. The bride, leaning upon the arm of her brother-in-law, Lieut. Par ker, with head erect and thoroughly composed, followed. The Ceremony. As the bridal party approached the chancel, Gen. Harrison came down the steps to the floor to receive his bride. With a frank movement, she extended her right hand which the groom clasped in his left. Then the couple inarched up the step to the centre of the altar, where they knelt a moment in prayer. Gen. Tracy ami Lieut. Parker followed, the former standing to the right of the groom and the lieutenant to the left of the bride. It was a pretty picture, beautiful in its simplicity. The reading of the Pro testant Episcopal ceremony was at once begun. Both faced the minister and listened intently to his words. When the usual question was pro pounded to the groom "wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife," etc., the general responded in subdued, almost inaudible tones. When the same question was put to the bride, she answered in a clear musical voice. In response to the question: "Who giveth tliis woman to be married to this man?" Lieut. Parker stepped for ward. Taking the bride's right hand he placed it in the general's left. The minister smiled pleasantly, took Mrs. Dimmick's hand back from the gen eral's and motioned the lieutenant to place it in his (the minister's) hand. Mr. Parker complied, and then the groom made the usual promise that "I plight thee my troth," the bride in turn making the same vow. Wedding Procession. As the minister uttered the words: "Those whom God hath joined to gether, let no man put asunder," bride and groom turned about and faced each other. The final words that made Gen. Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick one were pronounced at seventeen minutes to 0 o'clack. l)r. Brown shook bauds with both and offered his warm con gratulations. The ex-president then extended his right arm to his newly made bride and, to the soft strains of the "Tannhauser Wedding March" they filed down the aisle. They were immediately followed by the ushers. Next came Lieut. Parker. As he reached the front pew to the left he gave his arm to Mrs Parker, who stood awaiting him. Gen Tracy followed, he taking Mrs. Pinchot from the first pew on the right. In this order the wedding procession marched down the aisle, the guests following behind. On reaching the vestibule, the party re tired to the tower room, where wraps and coats were donned. Of! for I ii4 c ; June, 72a Corn—Spot dull, but prices firmer. May, 36c.; July, 37c>£.
