Was Celebrated Last Night in St. Andrew's Church.

Contracting Parties Were Rev. Henry P. Horton and Miss Cecile Adele Bond, Both of this City.

The Rev. Henry Pomeroy Horton, of St. Andrew's church and Miss Cecile Adele Bond, daughter of Mrs. Ida B. Bond, of 109 N. Thayer st., were married last evening in St Andrew's church by the rector, the Rev. Henry Tatlock. The wedding was a beautiful one.

The church was handsomely decorated by friends in white and green, with peonies, ferns, palms and roses, the effect being very striking. The chancel rail was decorated with masses of white peonies as were the choir steps and they were also placed above the altar and about the reredos. The church was well filled. Seats were reserved for relatives of the groom, intimate friends of the bride together with those who were kind enough to take charge of the decorations.

Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the hour set for the marriage, the groom appeared at the chancel rail, accompanied by the best man, Mr. Morgan Strong, of Amsterdam, N. Y. The ushers were Messrs. John C. Parker, R. R. Latimer, C. W. Whitney, Clay Murfin, C. B. Anderson, D. F. Smith, C. W. Edmunds and John S. P. Tatlock. All the ushers had pink roses in the coat lapels. The bridesmaids were Miss Bessie Bond, a sister of the bride, Miss Lyle Reid, of Indianapolis, Miss Florence Hall, of Chicago and Miss Jessie Horton, of Chicago. They were gowned in white organdy, the first two with pink belts and the second two with blue. They carried pink carnations tied with pink ribbons. The maid of honor was Miss Maud Bond, who wore a white organdy over cerise silk and a tulle veil reaching below the waist and carried a large bouquet of Scott carnations. The bride was accompanied by her mother. She was exquisitely gowned in white organdy and lace over ivory satin, with tulle veil caught with white ostrich feathers, while Mrs. Bond was handsomely gowned in black satin with jetted lace.

The organist of the church, Reuben Kempf, played for the processional the Lohengrin wedding march and during the ceremony Cavalier [Cavalleria] Rusticana. The recessional was Mendelssohn's wedding march.

Never was the Episcopal marriage ceremony more impressively rendered.

After the ceremony the bride and groom were accompanied to the bride's home by the bridesmaids and ushers. The bride presented each of the bridesmaids with handsome stick pins, star set with pearls. The groom's gift to the bride was a pearl sunburst while to each of the ushers he presented stick pins. The bridal couple were the recipients of many elegant presents.

The groom has been for the past three years curator of Harris hall and assistant to Mr. Tatlock. The bride has many friends in this city, where she has lived for the past eight years.

Mr. and Mrs. Horton left for the east on the 10 o'clock train and after a three weeks' wedding trip will be at home after July 1, at their apartments on S. Thayer st.
