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 ii<lian:tp:lis.
Gen. Harrison's face bore a calm,
satisfied expression, but a change had
taken place in his appearance, lie had
evidently put himself in liis barber's
hands during the day, and liis looks
were somewhat altered. His beard
had been closely trimmed on both sides
and consi lerable cpt away from the
chin. It mude quite u difference in the
general's make-up, giving him a
younger appearance. The bridal party
was driven to the residence of Mrs.
Pinchot, where light refreshments
were served. Here the bride and
groom donned their traveling attire.
Soon after 7 o'clock the party re
entered their carriages ami were taken
to the Pennsylvania railroad station in
Jersey City. They boarded the private
car of vice-president Frank Thomson,
which was coupled to the regular 7:30
p. in. train west, and the bride and
groom left at once for Indianapolis.
Some of the party accompanied Mr.
and Mrs. Harrison as far as Philadel
phia, and participated in the wedding
supper, which was served aboard tiie
Where Tliey Will •Spend the Honeymoon,
The honeymoon will be spent in (Jen.
Harrison's home in Indianapolis, which
has been refitted and renovated for
the occasion. Later the couple will
go to the Adirondack mountains, where
a cottage has been prepared for them
at First lake in the Fulton chain.
The Bride's Gown.
The bride, instead of carrying a bou
quet, held an ivory prayer book in her
baud. Mrs. Dimmick wore a gown
selected with rare gqod taste. The
material is a novel fabric of pearl gray.
The skirt is of extra long cut in the
front and falls in drapingfc to a do mi
train very much fiuted. The train is
daintily stiffened with satin ajid linen.
Along the edge is a pretty design of
old lace. The bodice is cut with a high
neck mid is profusely trimmed
with old ilouiton lace. This lacc has
been an heirloom in the Lord family
for years. The costume is enlivened
by a turquoise blue velvet stock and
hows. The under bodice is of white
chiffon, over which is a Louis XVI.
coat. The re vers are broader than
usual at the neck and shoulders. The
combination made a dazzling picture.
11l the hack the coat ends in regulation
tabs. It is lined with a lighter silk.
The sleeves are great petals of dress
material, full at the shoulder and ta
pering to the forearm. They come to
a sharp point at the wrists, ending in a
French fall of old llnniloii lace. Lace
is draped over the front of the skirt
and held with diamond bugs. Mrs.
Dimmick's bonnet is small, of blue vel
vet, trimmed with white aigrette and
small spangles, held in place by jew
elled pins.
Gun. Harrison's Gift.
Mrs. Dimmick has received many
valuable presents. The principal gift
from Gen. Harrison to Mrs. Dimmick
is a neck la re made of seven rows
of pearls. The necklace is fifty
five inches long and has diamond
clasps. The bridegroom's gift to his
best man is a walking stick which
Gen. Harrison has prized for years,
owing to associations connected with
it. Its history dates back to the war
of the rebellion, and Gen. Tracy is said
to have long desired to possess it.

THE HELLENIC GAMES
America's Representatives Win a
Number of Events.
GARRETT'S PHENOMENAL THROW
lld Burin tlie Discus 519.13 Metres—Mors
Thau 40,000 Persons Witness the
Games—A wanting the
Olive Crowns.
Athens, April 7. —Yesterday began
the 776 th Olympiad, in which athletes
from several countries participated.
The Americans who took part in the
games were the victors in several of
the events, despite the fact that they
have been here a very short time and
had little practice after their long
ocean voyage. The weather was
mild, but cloudy. Early in the morn
ing it was feared that the games would
have to he postponed because of the
rain that fell Sunday, but later it was
decided that the grounds within the
Stadion were in sufficiently good con
dition to allow of the opening events
taking place. More than 40,000 per
sons were admitted to the Stadion, in
cluding the king of Greece, the duke
of Sparta, the crown prince; and other
members of the royal family, the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and
many othor prominent persons. These
40,000, however, were not the only
ones who witnessed the games. The
Studion has 110 roof and on each side of
it rise hills from which a good view
can bo had within the walls. These
hills were fairly black with spectators,
thousands of whom were too poor to
pay the small price of admission to the
Stadion, but who were determined to
seo the revival of the ancient Greek
festival. The sight was a remarkable
one, and seldom has such interest and
enthusiasm been displayed over any
event in the Grecian capital. The
Americans who took part in the events
appeared to be in excellent form, and
they won their victories with much ap
parent ease.
Some of (lie Event*.
For the discus throwing the follow
ing Americans were entered: Captain
Robert Garrett of Princeton university
and Eilery 11. Clark of Harvard, a
member of the Boston Athletic associa
tion. Garrett won. The first heat of
the 100 metre race was won by F. \V.
Lane of Princeton in 12 1-5 seconds.
Szokoly, a Hungarian, was second.
The second heat was won by T. P.
Curtis of the Boston Athletic associa
tion, whose time was 12 1-5 seconds,
the same as Lane's. M. Chalkokondy
lis, an Athenian, was second. The
third heat was won by T. F. Burke of
the Boston Athletic association in 11 4-5
seconds. Hoffman, a German, was
second. In the hop, step and jump
! Connelly covered 13 7-10 metres, 'l'uf
j fori, u Frenchman, was second. In the
! first heat of the 400 metres race 11. B.
Jamison of Princeton was first and the
I German, Hoffman, second. The second
1 heat was won by Berne, an English
man, with Gimolin second. The first
I heat of the 800 metre race was won by
Flack, an Austrian, Lermusiaux, a
i Frenchman, won the second heat. All
the finals will be run on Friday.
Garrett's Phenomenal Throw.
I Garrett's throw was considered some
-1 thing phenomenal by the spectators.
He threw the discus 29.13 metres, de
i feating the Greek champion, Paraske
' vopoules, by 19 centimetres. The win
ners in the several events were cordi
ally applauded. Everything passed
j uff without a hitch, and the revival of
the games has been most successful.
Awarding tho Olive Crowns.
The progress of the gumes will be
better understood by remembering
that 100 metres are nearly equivalent
| to 109 yards and 400 metres lo 437
yards. The distance between Mara
thon and Athens is about twenty
' eight miles. While the complicated
pentathlon, to win which was the chief
glory of the Olympic games, is not re
vived, there will be medals for all
round excellence. In order to secure
the olive crowu in the ancient event
one was compelled to excel at once in
leaping, running, javelin throwing,
throwing the quoit and wrestling. Tho
olive crowns that will be awarded to
the victors will be made from material
furnished from the same grove from
which were taken the leaves and sprigs
that formed the crowns of victory
given to tho victors more than fifteen
centuries ago.

Havana. April 7. —Intelligence has
reached this city that a fight has oc
curred among the hills around San
Bias, near Cienfuegos, province of San
ta Clara, between the column corn
man Jed by Col. Vasquez and a body of
insurgents. The hitter occupied an
elevated position, which gave them a
decided advantage over the Spaniards,
who were taken by surprise. The
troops claim that the rebels used ex
plosive bullets. However this may be,
it is known that the Spanish were de
feated after a hot tight, losing many
killed and wounded. Among the lat
ter were Col. Vasquez and Lieut. Hu
ron. At one time during the engage
ment the insurgents charged upon the
troops with machetes, inflicting heavy
losses. The official account of the
fight says that the insurgents lost
twenty-one killed and three wounded,
while the Spanish loss was sixteen
wounded. The report says that tho
insurgents were defeated, but, like
many other of the reports issued by
the government, it is utterly unrelia
ble. The insurgents, as stated above,
completely surprised tho troops and
utterly routed them. The newspapers
here report that Gomez, with 4,000
men, is going to tho Siguanea valley.

States, because we closed all our
agencies over a year ago, and now
sell only to the final buyer, at the
actual cost of production at our
factory. We have no store 011
Broad street, but the factory
room is open every day till 0 p. m.,
and Saturday evenings from 7 to 10.
