BAND HELPS OUT.

A3 the head of the procession passed off the Bloomfield end of the bridge ant before reviewing stand, a group of school children began to sing "The Star-Spang ed Banner." The band in the van of the parade stopped to accompany them. This haited the whole parade and it chanced that the hymeneal car was almost in the middle of the bridge. "Shoot," Webb to Rev. Frosser, seeing his opportunity. The minister started to repeat the marriage service.

A half dozen patrolmen and motorcycle policemen were right by the machine, with instructions not to let the bridal car stop long enough for a wedding. The police could not order the car to move on for there was no place for it to move to. The bridge in front was packed by the blocked parade. So they contented themselves with shooing away as much of the fascinated crowd of spectators as they could and the ceremony was concluded without interruption. EVERYBODY HAPPY.

E'veryone took the affair good natur-edly. As the bridal Automobile passed in front of the reviewing Mayor Armstrong leaned out anc- shook his claeped hanfls at the coup as did several city officials and members of the Bloomfield Board of Trade standing beside him. A small party of immediate relatives of Webb and hi bride made merry at a dinner is. his father's home last night. Webb's father was particularly jubilant over the wedding.

"It went off just fine," he declared. "I was bound to have tht weddir.gr on the bridge if it had cost me every doliar I own. Say. wasn't the police protection great? If it hadn't been for these motorcycle men the crowd would have torn that automobile to pieces. We certainly are grateful to the police." GIFTS YET.

With Webb and Miss Blaney in tho automobile as witnesses were Kdward K. Vorndran and his wife. Mrs. Yorndrati is Webb's sister. The couple had received no gifts from business men up to last night.
