NEWPORT, Aug. 26.——The wedding at
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, oldest daughter
‘of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, to
5m. Harry Payne Whitney, oldest son of
.the former secretary of the navy, William
‘0. Whitney, was celebrated at. noon today
at The Breakers, the Vanderbilt summer

'lvilla, and, although a quiet afl'air, it will
lcccupy a place among the grandest Wed—
Idings of the country, it having taken
iplace in a palace which for beauty of
architecture and decoration is excelled no-‘
where, and yet the splendor of it was en-
hanced by profuse and artistic floral orna-
'mentations. Although the afiair has been
watched with great interest, it was- in a
way a disappointment to the exclusive set
in society here because it was strictly for
the family. This was necessarily so on
account of the state of Mr. Vanderbilt’s
fhealth, his physicians thinking it unwise
for him to undergo anything but the

‘ quietest ceremony. Therefore, outside of

:the immediate bridal party, only about 50

' :persons were present.

The thought of adding decoratiOns to so

.Jgrand a dwelling as The Breakers is

scarcely conceivable teens who has. ob-
)served the beauty of its mural designs, its
'phanglngs of brocades, its tapestries, its
loarvings and works of art. Yet' for this
loccasion the artist in flowers had admira-

tasty use of blossoms and plants.
Beautiful Floral Decorations.
White and pink were the prevailing col-
ors in the whole floral plan. The ,most
elaborate decoration Was in the grand
ball, through which the bridal party passed
- on their way to the gold ro’om, in which
the ceremony was performed. Cascades of
the finest asparagus and maidenhair fern
fell from the sides of the lofty hall and
from the capitals of the columns that sup-
port.the gallery. - ‘
Multitudinous white lilies; hydrangeas,
white and pink roses and gladioluses liter-
ally flooded the green draperies. White and
pink sweet peas were also used in the 12
festcons of ferns, which reached almost to

the floor. The columns which support the

arches were guarded by rose tree sentinels,
springing from a turf of the finest ferns.
Atthe head of the grand stairway stood a
specimen palm 30 feet high. .-‘ Garlands
were festooned on the massive pillars, and
the 'b’aiustrade“ of the staircase was inter-
woven with rcpes of fragrant bidom.

.While sweet peas and lilies of . the valley
amade up the prie dieu. Vases Of pink and

'white cut flowers of the most rare species-

‘were scattered about the room. The great
ifireplace was literally packed with farley-
«enois ferns. .

The legal Earrings ceremony was per-

" :formed by Rev. George F. Magill, D. D.,

grector of Trinity church, of which Mr.
Vanderbilt is a member. It was originally
intended that Bishop Potter should act in
this capacity, but Rhode Island laws for-
bid a clergyman from another state from
coming into Rhode Island to perform a
wedding ceremony. Therefore the plan
was changed and Bishop Potter ofi‘ici'ated
in the ritualistic ceremony.
The Ceremony.

The bride and her attendants assembled
in the upper hall and proceeded down the
grand stairway. The bride entered the
‘room' on the arm of Mr. Chauncey M. De-
pew and proceeded to the prie dieu, where
she was met by the groom. Miss Vander-
diilt was given away by her father, who
iwas wheeled into the room on a reclining
chair, and the words which joined the
’young people for life were quietly spoken.

Miss Vanderbilt’s gown, as wellas that
-of each of her bridesmaids, was from Paris.
The bride’s costume was of white watered
silk, trimmed with old duchess lace and
pearls. She carried a bridal bouquet of
stephanotis and gardenias. .

Mr. ' Whitney wore a boutcnniere of
,gardenias, the best man a white orchid on
the lapel of his coat and the ushers small
sprays of lilies of the valley. The bouquet.
of the five bridesmaids were of Mme. Test-
out roses and lilies" of the valley, caught
with broad pink satin ribbon, upon which
were embroidered lilies of the valley.

The bridesmaids were the Misses Sloane.
Shepard, Gerry and Taylor. Mr.- Payne
Whitney,’ who has just returned from Eu-
rope, was the best man, and the ushers
Were Messrs. Frank Polk, Columbus Bald-
win, Rawlins L. Cottenet and Alfred Van-
derbilt, brother of the bride.

After the ceremony the couple passed

into the gray room to receive their guests.
They occupied a position beneath a bower of
tropical foliage, surmounted by a canopy of
two immense specimens of arson lutesceus.
SeVen blooming rose trees, eight feet high,
alternately white and pink, formed a
boundary to the line of guests. From a-

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The British tram;

latitude 47.55, longitude" 49.19, and s n1
almost immediately. Her crew of 22 men

the three lifeboats. They were picked u;
by. the-Anchor liner Circassia, which ar-
rived here from Glasgow today and broughi
the news of the disaster.

The collision occurred during a‘fog a.
5:30 p. m. ‘A fresh wind was blowing, and
there was a fairly rough sea, but the ship

for great hardship. They were exposed or
the ocean for nearly two days before being
rescued.

' It was at 4:30 a. m. on the Friday fol
lowing the sinkin of the ship that they
saw the lights'of t e Circassia. They burnt
ed blue lights on the lifeboats and speedily
attracted the attention of the steamer,
which bore down. and picked them u;
witfout trouble, the boats containing thl
castaways being taken up bodily on thl
davits. This waspossible on accouht oi
the calmness of the ocean at the time.
