The Crown Prince of Hanover was married to the Princess

Mary of Saxe Altenburg, at Hanover, on Saturday evening, with a splendid pageant. Twenty-four sovereigns and princes were present at the ceremony, including eight reigning sovereigns—the Kings of Hanover and Prussia, the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg and Mecklenburg Schwerin, and the Dukes of Saxe-Altenburg, Brunswick, Nassau, and Anhalt- Dessau. Next day, the young couple went to church in an open car- riage drawn by six cream-coloured horses.
