The Presbyterian Church was crowded to the doors on Wednesday evening, 23rd ult., on the occasion of the marrige of Mr. Ern. E. Crawford, third son of Mrs. and the late Mr. T. Crawford, "Quondong," Narromine, and Miss Janet McDonald, only daughtor of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. McDonald, of ''Iona,'' Suttor-street, Canowindra. The church had been beautifully decorated for the occasion by the friends of the bride, arum lilies being used principally. The Rev. Jas. Barr was the celebrant, coming from Sydney specially for the occasion, while Miss. Rene Jones was the organist. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore white georgette, with an over-bodice of crepe-de-chene and trimmed with tiny hem-stitched frills, the cascades at the sides of the skirt being finished with pearl and crystal tassels. A court train of crepe-de-chene was fastened at the shoulders with silver roses and a pearl embroidered veil (lent by a friend), with a wreath of orange blossoms and silver leaves, finished the costume. The bride also arried a bouquet of white asters and ferns. The bridesmaids were Miss Lila Wicks and Miss Gladys Boyd, the former wearing white crepe-de-chene, finished with embroideries in shades of mauve, and white hat of soft straw, with large bow of mauve tulle. Miss Boyd wore a lemon crepe-de-chene, with hand-made flowers in shades of mauve and lemon, also shaded mauve embroideries on bodice and lemon hat with mauve tulle bow. Little Esme Newman, as train bearer, wore soft white satin, with mauve tulle bow and embroideries, white hat with touches of same color. She carried a basket of purple asters, the same flowers composing the bouquet of the other maids. The bridegroom's gifts were dainty and costly. Mr. George McDonald (brother of the bride) was best man, while Mr. Dick Crawford (brother of the bridegroom) was groomsman. The wedding breakfast was held at the International Hall, which was decorated in blue and white (the bride-groom's military colors), and the same colors were evident on the tables. The guests were received by Mrs. McDonald, wearing black georg- ette and satin, with black hat and bouquet of asters and autumn leaves. The toast of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Rev. Jas. Barr and responded to by the bridegroom, who in turn proposed the bridesmaids, Mr. George McDonald responding. ''The Parents" was proposed by Mr. McDonagh and responded to by Mr. D. R. McDonald, while " the Crawford family'' was proposed by Mr. William Bassett and responded to by Mr. T. Crawford and Mr. Thomas (Forbes), brother-in-law of the late Mr. Crawford.
