Their fun was short lived, however, because Theodore Roosevelt, with his wife, made an extremely quick dash across the few feet of sidewalk space and once they were installed in the car Inspector O'Brien gave the crowd a fne exhibition of just what his traffic squad men could do upon occasion. As the car started east and then north across the Plaza a dozen of the mounted men carelessly filed across street opposite the door of the Alexander house, and at the minute three mounted men. one riding ahead as a sort of scout and the other two on either side of the car, spurred their horses to a gallop and escorted the car north on Fifth avenue.

At 62d street the man in front gracefully wheeled to one side and the car shot away to the north straight along the avenue. Mr. Roosevelt had told no one of his plans, he had said before the wedding, and afterward it appeared that his statement was literally correct. Hip own friends, who had arranged to follow him, were blocked by the apparently careless move of the mounted police in guarding the rear, and they confessed utter ignorance as to immediate destination. Mr.

Roosevelt, when' asked whether he knew where his son had gone with his young wife, held up his hand warningly, and laughingly replied: "Now. now, that's their secret "Well, there's a report around that they didn't even take you into their confidence on this particular matter," it was suggested. But Mr. Roosevelt did not answer; he just smiled broadly. The last half boor prior to the departure of the young couple, while the bride was engaged in changing her dress, had been devoted by the bridegroom to a meeting upstairs in the library of the Porcellian Club, Harvard's most famous organization.

Most of his ushers. Harvard classmates, were present, as well as Lewis, the negro steward of the club, who represents the third generation of his family in this particular capacity, a family famous lor the brew of itd Porcellian punch. Wedding Perfectly Organized. The marriage will remain on record as the most perfectly organized wedding that has taken, place in New York in many a long year. In spite of the large number of invitations issued for the some fifteen hundred friends and acquaintances had been and notwithstanding the huge crowd? that filled the streets in the immediate vicinity, there was an entire absence of confusion both in the arrivals and in the departures.

Although the ceremony only took place after 4 o'clock. the guests had all left the church by and less than a quarter of an hour later even the very awnings at the three entrances of the edifice-had been removed. has the big Presbyterian Church Seldom has the big Presbyterian hurch looked more picturesque than yesterday afternoon, with its wealth of decorations of lilies-of-the-valley. pink roses, mountain laurel, peonies, tall palms and ferns.

At 4 11 o'clock the strains of the "Bridal Chorus" from signalled the arrival of the bride, who made her ip the aisle to the canopied priedieu of white satin, trimmed with roses, where the bridegroom was awaiting her. and took her place with him beneath a large floral arch made entirely of pink rambler roses, her favorite flower.

After the benediction Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" vas played as a recessional, and as the church was emptying the strains of the "Coronation March" from Meyerbeer's "Le were heard. The ceremony at the church was followed by a reception given by Charles B. Alexander, the aunt of the bride, at her house in West street, which had been lent by Mrs. Alexander for the occasion, as being larger and nearer to the church than that of the bride's mother.

Floral Grottos in the House. The ballroom and dining room had been converted into floral grottos, with white roses, pink and white peonies and pink hydrangeas, all the flowers at the house, as weil as those used In decorating the church, being turned over immediately afterward to the National Flower Guild for distribution among the hospitals of the city. From the vestibule the guests made their way to the ballroom, where the newly married couple received the congratulations and good wishes of their friends. The former President and Mrs. Roosevelt held a little reception of their own in another part of the room, while Mrs.

Charles B. Alexander, in a dress of black lace over white chiffon, trimmed with bands of black moire ribbon and jet, with a black straw hat faced with black velvet and adorned with white feathers, took up her place at The entrance of the dining room, with a large bunch of mauve orrhids in her hand. At one end of the dining room, where a buffet wedding breakfast was served, was the bride's table, decorated with lillies-ofthe-vailey, In the centre of which was an enormous three storied wedding cake, which was cut by the bride, who distributed pieces thereof to hK-r attendants and the ushers. The bride's going away frock was of tan cloth, with which she wore a turban shaped hat of the same colored straw, trimmed with white feathers. The honeymoon will be short, as Theodore Roosevelt, is due early next month in San Francisco, where he will make his home with his wife and duties as manager of the Pacific Coast branch of the carpet works at Thompsonville, where he wen.t to work after his graduation from Harvard.

Mr Roosevelt tried to do several things characteristic of a private citizen while in the city yesterday, but the people caught him at it wherever he appeared and would not be deprived of recognition and a cheer. He said last nipht after the business of the day and the wedding were over that he tried, and intended to keep on trying, to be merely a private citizen. On the strength of his effort in that direction he declined to say whether he had enjoyed the wedding or not. "I am trying the best I can to be a private citizen," he said. "I have had a busy time of it during the last seven years, and want to live now as other people do, and say nothing, absolutely nothing, for the newspapers." Mr.

Roosevelt stole a march on his neigh bors at Oyster Bay, who expected to him at the 8:15 train yesterday morning, on which some of the family came to the wedding. Instead he came to New York earlier on the United States dispatch boat Dolphin with Secretary Meyer of the Navy and Congressman and Mrs. and spent several hours at his editorial desk in "Tbe Outlook" office. As the Dolphin drew breast of the yacht landing at East 24th street and the former President left in a launch she boomed forth a salute of twenty-one guns and was answered by a lusty cheer from the crowd which had gathered on the pier. He was driven directly to "The Outlook" office and conferred for two hours -with Dr.

Lyman Abbott. It was nearly 2 o'clock when Mr. Roosevelt left Ills desk and was driven to the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a cousin, at No. 49 East 65th street, where his family and many relatives took luncheon prior to attending Theodore, wedding.

Among those at the luncheon were Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. T.

Douglas Robinson, Monroe Robinson, Senator Lodge. Admiral and Mrs. Cowles, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs.

James Roosevelt. While the relatives were enjoying a Bort of reunion In the house Mr. Roosevelt came out bareheaded and hurried down th.c middle of the street for half a block to shake hands with Mrs. Frederick Vanderbili. who had remained o'Uslde in her automobile.

The Roosevelts gathered again at the Franklin Roosevelt home after the wedding reception. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt. Kermit, Archie and (Juentln went from the East 66tfa street kousf- in an automobile to the 34th street ferry, where Ethel joined them, and the whole party took the 8:12 train from Long Island City for Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, June Mr. Roosevelt and his family arrived hf-re at o'clock tonight and drove at once to Sagamore Hill. They made the trip from New York in a private car. In the party were Mrs Rooaeveit. Ethfl.

m. I THE DRAMA "The Follies of 1910" Is Presented at New York Theatre. F. Zieefoid, introduced at the New York Theatre last night "The Follies of 1910," a "song revue" in two acts by Harry B. Smith, with music by Gus Edwards and others.

Prominent in the large cast were Bert Lillian Lorraine. Bobby North. George Bickel. Harry Watson, Grace Tyson, Alice Hegeman. Fanny Brice and Rosie Green.

The piece does not pretend to be a play with a plot. It is a series of vaudeville acts, some of which are pood and some exceedingly poor. The programme Included fourteen scenes: A dress rehearsal of the play; office of "the get-poor-quick a street in Reno; corridor In the new City Hall; the comet and the earth; Irrkes of Killarney, with a song. "Sweet Kitty Bellairs." by Lillian Lorraine; office of a music publisher; the apple bloom grove; Cafe de the swings; a band rehearsal by Bickel and Watson's disoipanization, and a pantomime called "A Fool There Was." by Miss Louise Alexander and Julian Mitchell, with an imitation of Mile. Polaire by Miss Alice Hegeman.

There were also burlesques of ('hanterler." with Bert Williams as a "blackbird, with songs," and the return of Roosevelt, with Harry Watson and George Bickel in pxceedingly poor imitations, respecti vely. of Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft The music of this collection of summer nonsense is far better than the book. There were some tuneful and catchy songs, Including "Mr. Earth and His Comet Love," which was prettily sung by Miss Eleanor St. Clair: "Sweet Kitty Bellalrs" and "Kidland." both of which Miss Lorraine sang sweetly; "I Cant Sing that High Top Note." by Bobby North; "The Yodeling Rag." by Miss Grace Tyson; "Don't Take a Girl Down to Coney," by Miss Hazel Robinson, and "Lovy Joe" and other songs by Miss Fannie Brice.

The performance as a whole wag crude, but it will be improved with subsequent presentation and by the elimination of certain scenes. "The Return of Roosevelt" would not be missed: neither would the band rehearsal, with its insufferable noise Aside from Mr. Williams's songs. 'The Model Hennery" possessed little of interest. A very pretty act was "The Swings." in which Miss Lillian Lorraine swung out over he heads of the audience as she sang.

"The de LObster" was a comical buresque of the defunct Cafe de L'Opera, in which the Messrs. Bickel and Watson were amusingly relieved of all spare change by the head waiter the hat boy, the coat boy. the cane boy. the glove boy and innumerable other attendants. Miss Louise Alexander and Julian Mitchell did an effective bit of acting in "A Fool There Was." Spring of Youth," in which several girl graduates and a "prower" (Biilv Reeves) took a d-p in a stage tank, served to introduce Mr Williams, who was the real star of the as "a caretaker with songs.

Mr. Williams sang In this ict his "Barber Shop Chord" son? and others, in which he revealed his exceptional powers as a comedian. He was followed by a chorus of pretty girls in the athletic 2arh of our colleges. The final appearance of the Yale girl, then the Harvard girl, trnught forth cheers and applause from the audience. TO ACT UNDER EX-HUSBAND? Miss Illington Said To Be Managed by Daniel Frohman.

Mrs. Edward J. Bowes, known on the stage as Miss Margaret Islington, who has announced her intention to return to the stage, may appear under the direction of her former husband and manager. Daniel Frohman. But she will not appear in Frohman or Klaw Erlanger theatres, for she is booked in the Cort-Shubert circuit for all next season.

Her manager is Edward Ellsner. who has been a stage director for Daniel Frohman for several years. Mr. Ellsner took particular pains to say yesterday that he was no longer connected with Daniel Frohman; but he was found In consultation with Mr. Frohman at the Lyceum Theatre, and left word with an attache of the theatre that he would be there every day.

Further confirmation of this unusual situation is to be had in the fact that Mr. Bowes and Mr. Frohman have been friends of long standing, and when Miss Illington announced her intention to marry Mr. Bowes Mr. Frohman was all smiles and said that he entirely approved of her choice.

Mr. Bowes will furnish the funds for Miss Illington's production, and will give up temporarily his real estate interests on the Pacific Coast in order to travel with his wife throughout her entire tour. In just what plays Miss- IlHngton is to appear could not be learned. Mr. Ellsner said, however, that Miss Illington had two adaptations by himself of French plays which have been successful in Paris during the last year and the dramatic rights of two popular American novels of recent issue.

In spite of her former syndicate affiliations. Miss Illington will act in Cort-Shubnrt theatres. She will open her theatrical year in Tacoma, which is, as Mr. Bowes said, her "home" town at present. Mr.

Ellsner said that she would play only in the West, where her health is good; hut John Cort'a route list shows that she will appear in Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and other cities of the East and Middle West. When Miss retired she said that the stage was that she craved the domestic life. She wanted to have children, she said, and darn socks.
