ROYAL NUPTIALS.

The Duke ot York Marries Princess May Victoria. The Most Imposing Event of the Kind Seen in London for Tears. The Duke of York (Prince George of Wales> and Princess Victoria May, of Teck, took place at 12:30 o’clock, Thursday, in Chapel Royal, St James Palace. The wedding was attended by a large gathering ot the members of the British royal family, continental sovereigns or their representatives, and many members of the highest nobility. The occasion was made one of national rejoicing, and a partial British holiday. Great crowds of people gathered along the line of the route from Buckingham palace to the garden

entrance to St- James Palace. The decorations along the line of the royal procession were profuse and beautiful. The scene was full of life and movement, and the ceremony eclipsed in pomp and grandeur,any recent state ceremonial in connection with the British court. The royal party left Buck inham Palace in four processions, the first conveying members of the household and distinguished guests. The next included the Duke of York and his supporters, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg. The bride came in the third procession, accompanied by her father, the Duke of Teck, and her brother, Prince Adolphus of Teck. The last procession was that of the Queen, w ho, accompanied by the Duchess of Teck, her younger sons and the Grand Duke of Hesse, drove in state to the ceremonials. Her Majesty

only daughter of the Duke of Teck and Princess May of Cambridge.’who are both connected with nearly every sovereign in Europe. She was born at Kensington Palaee on the 26th of May, 1867. and the greater part of her life has been spent at White Lodge, Richmond Park, the residence of her parents. It is doubtful If any Princess was ever held in higher esteem than is Princess May. Her modesty and inherent kindliness have made her a general favorite, and her sympathy with the ooor and her active endeavors to improve their condition have made her an idol where royalty is not well received.
