Miss ''Pops" Walton persided at the organ, playing "The Voice that Breathed O'er Eden" as the bride entered the church, and The Wedding March as the newlywedded left the church. The recep tion was held in the hall next the residence of the bride's mother, who, robed in black satin, received the guests. The room was beautifully de corated by the bride's friends.

In front of the bride and bridegroom was a handsome 3-decker wedding cake, made and presented by the bride's brother, Tom, the delicate ornamen tations being gifts from Messrs Henry Berry and Co., Sydney. The usual toast list was gone through, the Chairman proposing the principal one, and hoping that beneficent Pro vidence would bestow upon them health, bliss and prosperity. A large display of useful and costly wedding presents were received, besides a cheque for a substantial sum from the parents of the 'groom, and others of lesser value from other relatives. The bride presented the groom with a travelling rug and the groom his bride with a leather suit-case.
