BROOKLYN LIFE. 9 M. Bull, and Miss Mabel King, daughter of General and Mrs. Horatio C. King, will be among her contemporary buds.

Miss Fannie Hoagland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Hoagland, who removed recently to 27 West Fifty-seventh street, Manhattan, has also--on account of illness- postponed her until 1900. THE Church of the Pilgrims was the scene of a very pretty wedding last Monday evening, when Miss Grace Towner, elder daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William A. Towner, was married to Mr. John Lenord Merrill, of East Orange. The chancel was entirely banked with palms, relieved with bows of pink satin ribbon and dotted with white chrysanthemums, while the pews reserved for the family and intimate friends were marked with large bunches of the same flowers.

Owing to the illness of Dr. Storrs, Rev. Edward B. Coe officiated at the ceremony, which took place at eight Miss Towner, who was given away by her father, made a charming bride. She was attired in ivory white satin, trimmed with some beautiful old point lace, the same which adorned the bridal gown of the bride's mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother.

Her veil was of tulle, and she carried a bouquet of white orchids and lilies of the valley. Miss Annie Towner, the bride's sister, was the only attendant. She was, gowned in a most becoming frock of white point d'Esprit over white taffeta, with trimmings of Nile green satin antique, and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Mr. Joseph Moulton Merrill, the groom's brother, was best man, and the ushers were Mr.

W. Allan Towner, and Mr. Clifford Towner, the bride's brothers; Mr. Arthur Gouverneur Morris and Mr. Ernest Loring Baldwin, of Manhattan, and Mr.

Farnham Yardley, Mr. George Denney Merrill, and Mr. Westervelt. Wilde, of East Orange. A RECEPTION, hundred at guests, which followed there the were ceremony, present at some the residence of the bride's parents, 304 St.

James place. The house was elaborately decorated, pink and green being the prevailing color tones. At one end of the drawing-room a bower of smilax and pink roses was erected, under which the bride and groom received. The walls were covered with growing vines dotted with pink roses, while the arches and doorways were hung with. curtains of smilax.

The Hungarian Band played throughout the evening, and at the departure of the young couple struck up the tune, "There is Only, One Girl in This World for Me." Pringle had entire charge of the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill will spend several weeks traveling in New England, and on their return will reside at 478 Washington avenue, where they have rented a very attractive apartment: upon the news of the engagement of Miss Mary Scott Nicolovius and Mr. William Varian comes the announcement of their wedding day, Saturday, November fourth.

The ceremony will be performed at the bride's home, 20 Monroe place, at eight o'clock in. the evening, and will be followed by.a reception. Owing to the popularity of the bride and the prominence of her family, the marriage will be a distinctive autumn affair on the Heights. THE success, financially and socially, of the Marine and Field Club's enterprise in chartering the Cepheus for the second attempt at a yacht race was so encouraging that the club decided to engage the boat again for Thursday of last week, but subsequently changed the date to Saturday. The issue of tickets was limited to half the number sold for the first occasion, and exclusively to members of the club, SO that everyone who embarked was prepared to see the race under the most favorable circumstances possible.

Unfortunately, the venture resolved itself into an excursion beyond Sandy Hook merely. Nevertheless, a fine band of music and congenial company beguiled the time pleasantly, and no one regretted the trip. The evening at the club was distinguished by the last dance of the season in the boathouse. These have proved among the most successful affairs of the year at the Marine and Feild Club, and though there were not above forty at the last, it was one of the best and most enlivening, even the most confirmed old bachelors and sedate married men taking a turn. The party that went down to the starting line on board the Cepheus included, among others, Mr.

and Mrs. William H. Garrison, Miss Florence Garrison, Miss Marston, Mr. W. H.

The drawing-room was attractively decorated with American Beauty and pink roses. The mantels were banked with pink roses, while a bower under which the bride stood was formed of palms from which white carnations gracefully hung. The doors, walls and windows were draped with wild smilax and the table decorations were entirely of American Beauty roses. The bride was given away by her father, and instead of the conventional white satin she wore a figured fawn-colored de chine, the waist of which was made with a combination of turquoise blue and brown paune velvet, while the skirt was made with a brown paune velvet flounce. The flowers she carried were orchids and lilies of the valley.

Miss Alice Jewell, the bride's sister, who acted as maid-of-honor, was her only attendant. Her dress was an effective creation of bluet de chine dotted with white. The collar and high girdle were lilac paune velvet, which matched perfectly the orchids which she carried. There were no ushers, but Mr. Samuel S.
