' ' There was a brilliant assemblage at tho Jewish Synagogue last Wednesday (says the Auckland Star) to witness tho wedding of Mr Eliot R. Davis, second son of Mr Moss Davis, to Miss Stella Alexander, daughter of Mr Isidore Al exander. The marriage ceremony was performed by tho Rev. S. A. Gold stein, the bride being given away by her father. She was attired in a Duchesse satin bridal dress, ~ with a court train suspended from the should ers, and a wreath and veil. The sleeves and* yoke of the gown wero trimmed with Honiton lace, a present from tho bride's grandmother. She also wore n beautiful pearl necklace, tho gift of the bridegroom. 'The brides maids were the Misses Roie and Gladys Nathan, Daisy Benjamin, Dorothy .Na than, Ruby Coleman, and Vera Ziman, al 1 tastefully attired as miniature brides. Mr <Boydie Davis officiated as best man. The interior of the Syna gogue was beautifully decorated with foliage and 'white flowers. Mr J. H. Philpot presided at the organ, and played tho "Wedding March," also that .from. "Lohengrin." A largo gathering of relatives and friends took place sub sequently at "San Remo," tho residence of the bride's parents, Symonds Street. At the 'meeting of the committee of tho Taranati Jockey Club at which the accounls for the recent meeting were submitted and passed, tho large cost of advertising programme, etc., in tho Christchuroh Press and Hefereo was commented on as quite out ,of propor tion with tho benefit derived. A' sug gestion was made and favourably re ceived that an effort should be mode at tho next meeting of the Conference! to tako away the monopoly now en joyed by the Referee, of at any rate to permit Northern Clubs to advert' ee in the North Island, instead of in pa pers that havo a far larger circulation in the North Island. In reporting the above, the Taranoki Herald says: — "Tho monopoly enjoyed by tho Press and Referee in the matter of advertis ing race programmes is a frequent source of discussion, but no definite 1 stops have been taken to terminate it. Now that one Metropolitan Club has reforred to this matter so pointedly it is to be hoped that the subject will now receive the consideration it de serves.
