NEW YORK, March 5.—-—The marriage of Miss Anna Gould, daughter of the late Jay Gould of this city, to Count Paul Ernest Boniface dc Castcllane was solem— nized today at 12 :45, the Rev. Archbishop Corrigan officiating, at the residence of her brother, Mr. George .I. Gould, Sixty- seventh street and Fifth avenue. This long looked forward to event took place under the most favorable conditions, the threatening weather having abated, and clear skies shone auspiciously upon the newly married couple. At half past 11 o’clock the relatives and less than 100 intimate friends assembled at the house, their arrival being witnessed by throngs of persons congregated in the street in the immediate vicinity of the house. The residence was artistically deco- rated throughout with a profusion of trop- ical plants, smilax, asparagus plumosa, maidenhair ferns and over 20, 000 La France roses, lilies of the valley and Japan lilies. The wedding took place on the first or parlor floor, the ceremony being per- formed in what is known as the East In- dia room in the southwest corner of the mansion. ' ’ The bridal procession formed in the li- brary on the second floor immediately over the East India room, where the presents to the bride and groom were afterward ex- hibited. The guests received the first in- timation of the formation of the bridal party by music issuing from an orchestra concealed in the hall behind a bank of COUNT AND COUNTESS DE CASTELLANE. palms and ferns. The first number given was“Largo, ” by Handel, by orchestra and organ, and ”Else’s Dream” from “Lohen- grin,” which was sung. by Miss Rosa Sucher, the operatic soprano, to the ac- companiment of the string orchestra. The Bridal Procession. This was followed by the bridal march from “Lohcngrin,” and the assembled guests witnessed the bridal procession dc- scending the flower adorned stairs in the following order: First came the ushers—- Prince dcl Drago, Raoul-Duval, Brock- holst Cuttingand Howard Gould, They _/ - ' f/ IT F STENS ITS HOLD -upon you before you know it.

The bride then followed, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. George J. Gould, her train being carried by her nephews, Masters Kingdon and Jay Gould. They entered the music room and passed into the East India room, walking slowly‘up the aisle which had been made by running pagallol white ribbons fastened to bushes of flowering roses. When they reached the dais at the Fifth avenue end of the room“ the music stopped. The ush- ers stood two each side, and the bridesmaids stood before the ushers. Here waiting the approach of his bride stood the bridegroom, attended by his brother, while on the dais stood Archbishop Corrigan, wearing his ecclesiastical robes. Mr. Gould placed his sister's hand in Count do Castellane’s and withdrew to the left, where his wife and her two little daughters stood. surrounded by the family. The ceremony was abridged by the fact that the bride has not, as it has been frequently stated, surrendered her own religious faith. When the time came for the bride to have placed upon her finger the wedding ring, she handed her large and beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley to her sister, Miss Helen Gould, who stood on her immediate right, much affected by the solemnity of the occasion, which to her was as sad as it was joyful. The “Ave Maria” was sung by Miss Rosa Sucher, stationed at the foot of the stairs in the large hall, her rich and glorious voice blending with the strains of the or- gan, and the musical cadences of the or- chestra added arare charm to an impress- ive and'beautiful ceremony. The Ceremony. The archbishop was assisted by his see— retary, Father Connolly, and Father New- ey, who acted as master of ceremonies. The archbishop wore the full robes of his ofiicc and carried the crosicr, the symbol of his office. Over his long purple robe he wore the chasuble and on his head the miter and over the chasublc the customary short purple cape. Father Connolly and Father Newey were simply dressed in black cassocks and white surpliccs. When the archbishop took his position on the platform, he said, “Paul Ernest, wilt thou take Anna here present for thy lawful wife?” The count answered, “I will. ” Then turning to the bride the archbishop said, “Anna, wilt then take Paul Ernest here present to be thy lawful husband?” .The bride answered, “I will.” Then the groom repeated after the archbishop, “I, Paul Ernest, take thee, Anna, to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness, in health, iill death us do part.” Then turning to the bride the archbishop said the same speech, which she repeated after him. The best man then handed the ring to the groom, which the groom placed on the finger of the left ha... said while holding the :-i::,;- on her finger, “With this ring I thee wed, and I plight unto thee my trofh. ” Husband and \Vife. The archbishop then said the few words which made the couple man and wife, "By the authority committed in me, I pronounce you man and wife. ” Afbcr the benediction had been spoken Mendelssohn’s “Weddin g March” filled the room, and the bride received the hearty congratulations of the archbishop and the two officiating priests, which were follow- ed immediately by her sister, Miss Helen, and her brother George. The count. ra- diant and happy, led his wife into the al- cove, where, under a wreath showering a mass of lilies of the valley, they stood ready to receive the congratulations of their friends. .. Immediately the flowering plants which had been as posts to the ribbons forming the aisle were removed, and in a short time after the doors of the (lining room were thrown wide open, and a number of small tables were brought into the room and placed about it, where the guests seat— ed thcmselvcs to enjoy a delicious break- fast. As all space was essential, the house being of moderate capacity, the orchestra was removed to the gallery on the third floor, and for an hour or more discourscd a programme of varied music. At about half past 2 the bride, attired in her travel- ing dress, passed through the hall crowded with friends and anxious to bid her fare- well. Speculation, which has been rife for many weeks as to the marriage, has evolv- ed a varied programme of the bride’s hon- eymoon, but the young couple have kept this a close secret, and none, not even the family, has a remote idea as to the imme- diate future movements of Count and Countess de Castellane.
