FITZGERALD, Proprietor Society and Clubs Corvallls, Dec. 15 (Special) The home of Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Kerf, 5th and Jackson streets, was the scene of a very beautiful home wedding last night, their eldest daughter. Miss Ves ta, being united in marriage to Mr. Ralph Reynolds, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reynolds, of La Grande. Ths ceremory was witnessed by relatives of the young couple and fifteen or twenty of the close friends, this be ing followed by a reception attended by four hundred people o fthe col lege and city. Dr. Kerr is president of the Oregon Agricultural college., The ceremony wa3 performed at 8 o'clock, the bridal bai ty taking posi tion as strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march floated from the lib rary, where Captain Harry Beard's orchestra was stationed. The order of procession was as is common, Miss Leona Kerr, Bister of the bride, In pink chiffon over pink silk, acting as bridesmaid and Mr." Jay Reynolds, a brother ofthe .groom us groomsman. The bride, looking vti-y lovely in a costume of cream marquisette over cream satin : with pearl . trimming, wearing a tulle veil crowned with California Orange blossoms, and car rying a boquet of white chrysanthe mums and hyacinths, -came In leaning upon mi? arm ot her fatner. In an al cove that had been converted Into a bower of vines and white carnations, Dr, J..R. N. Bell, Presbyterian clergy man. Voiced impressively the words of the beautiful ring ceremony. As the young people knelt on silken cushions the divine blessing was invoked and after a brief season of congratulations and beBt wishes, N. R. Moore sank "Because." - At 9 o'clock reception guests arrived and were greeted by a receiving line In which stood Dr. Rnd Mrs. Kerr, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reynolds of La Grande, the Newly weds, Miss Leona Kerr, Mr, Jay Reynolds, Dr. J. R. N. Bell, Prof, and Mrs. J. A. Bexell, Mr. aud.Mrs. N. R. Moore pnd Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Woodcock.

Punch was Beved by the Misses Gertrude Nolan, Lynette Kerr, Ruth Smith, Helen Sprague, Miss Rob inson of Portland and Miss Mabel Withycombe Berved cake in 4he din ing room. NWhen all tile kindly wishes' had been given and but a fe of the Immediate friends remained. the bride's cake was cut- Mr. Eberly member of a local bachelifa' club was fortunate enough to discover the ring In his ;iortlon, which presages his early accession to the ranks of the benedicts. The affair was dainty and altogeth er lovely. The dccontflpns especially were elaborate and beautiful. The spa-J clous -home of the Kerrs was literally banked with potted plants, palms and cut flowers. The parlor was In white and green, and In the entrance to the living room hung a "shower." of or ange blossoms, fresh from Callfornin, were suspended from ribbons, the whole dropping from a bank of sml lax, which was also entwined about the door ways. The living room was Jn red and green, a profusiou of the red carnations being utilized, while the dining room was in pink, white and green. Beautiful chrysanthemums and carnations and flowering potted plants made this room very lovely. The table decorattons were of sml lax and white hyacinths entwined. This work was under the supervision of Mr. Fl'nt, of the dfl.mrtment of flo riculture at O. A. C, assisted by Mrs. MeKellips and was very pleasing in Us effect. Throughout the evening the Beard orchestra played appropriate selections and lent much pleasure to the occasion. The bride Is the elder daughter ot President and Mrs. V. J.

When Johnson appeared at O'Con nell's gymnasium to take a workout with Monahan several hundred iper sons were on hand to get a glimpse of the man who so easily defeated Jeffries. Jack made good his promise of putting his protege through a se vere test, and he certainly did and In the third round the negro champion could have put Monahan away with ease. Tn the first session Johnson re mained entirely on the defensive and allowed Monahan to do all 'the leadingT but the sparring partner was unable to land a stiff wallop, so effective was Johnson's defense. , . In the second round Jack loosened up a bit and tore Into the white fight er with cleverness and speed that as tonished all the spectators. Monahan was absolutely helpless before Jack's fusillade of upper-cuts and Jabs and before the end of the round Johnson had 4o ease up In his bombardment. At the beginning of the third round Jack again assumed the"defensive, but a minute before the session closed the champion -waded Into his partner and by the use of his favtorle blow, p.. IUlfU lUM I Monahan out when time was called. The rounds were of three minutes duration each, and at the end of the final session Jack was much fresher than his opponent. The champion despite his long layoff, looked good, and his work certainly laid to rast , all rumors about his fast life and hi3 verge of going to a sanatorium.
