"FASHIONABLE
WEDDING AT LOFTUS.
The usually calm and tranquil pulse of
the little town of Loftus was stirred to a pitch of unusual excitement on
Tuesday by marriage festivities of more than ordinary interest and
brilliance, the occasion being the nuptials of Miss Maud Cochrane,
youngest daughter of the late Mr Henry Cochrane, The Hawthorns, Loftus
(formerly of the Longlands, Middlesbrough), and sister of Mr. O. H.
Cochrane, coroner for Middlesbro' and district, and the Rev G. B. Raikes,
youngest son of the Rev Francis Raikes rector of Barnham Broom, and Mrs
Raikes of Hedenham Hall, Norfolk. The absorbing interest evinced in the
auspicious event was by the crowded congregation present at the ceremony,
which took place at the Parish Church, the building, under the direction
of Misses Del Strother and the Misses Cumming, being prettily and
appropriately decorated with flowers. A full choir was present to do
honour to the event, and the service, which was conducted by the Rev. E.
J. Nelson, rector of of Blendworth, assisted by Revs A.H. Cumming and
Ernest Wilson, rectors of Loftus and Middleton-on-the-Wolds respectively,
was fully choral, Miss Cumming kindly presiding at the organ...The bride
was given away by her brother, Mr Oswald Cochrane. She wore a fashionable
gown of ivory satin, trimmed with chiffon and orange blossom, a wreath of
white heather, and embroidered tulle veil lent by her aunt, Mrs Davies,
who also gave the lovely Indian brocade, of which the Court train was
composed. The wedding dress, which her tall and graceful figure set off to
advantage, was the gift of her sisters. She also wore a diamond and pearl
pendant, the gift of the bridegroom. There were four bridesmaids whose
dresses were of cream voile and lace fichus, with white crinoline hats
trimmed with lilac. They carried lilac bouquets and wore turquoise and
pearl necklaces. After the ceremony the Rev Ernest and Mrs Wilson
entertained a large number of guests at The Hawthorns, and during the
afternoon the Rev and Mrs Raikes left for Devonshire where the honeymoon
is being spent. The bride's travelling dress was a directoire coat and
skirt of cornflower blue cloth with white satin vest finished with jabot
of old Brussels lace."

"REV. G. B. RAIKES, M.A.
—PRESENTATION AT WELBECK.—
The Rev. G. B. Raikes, M.A., Chaplain
to his Grace the Duke of Portland at Welbeck Abbey, has been offered and
has accepted the living of Bergh Apton, in Norfolk, and he will shortly be
leaving to take up his new duties. His departure is much regretted, for
during the fifteen years he has been at Welbeck, Mr. and Mrs. Raikes have
made numerous friends. They will both be missed in many ways, and the
sincere good wishes of the people to whom Mr. Raikes has ministered will
follow them to their new home. Mr. Raikes has been a popular and familiar
figure on the cricket and football field, and has done much to foster a
healthy interest in clean sport. An old international footballer, he has
never lost interest in the game.
Some idea of the high regard in which
he and Mrs. Raikes are held was furnished by by the presentation made to
them at the Club, at Welbeck. Mr. T. Warner Turner presided over a large
attendance, which included Mrs. Warnet Turner and Mr. Phillip Turner, and
expressed his deep regret at the Chaplain's and Mrs. Raikes departure.
They would, he could assure them, be greatly missed at Welbeck, not only
on the Sunday, but on the weekday. Mr. Raikes had always been ready to do
his best to help forward anything for the benefit of those on the estate.
He had been a friend to them all, the old and the young, and he had
encouraged good sport in every way. He had been at Welbeck fifteen years
and the friends he had made could not let him and Mrs. Raikes go without
expressing their appreciation of his services, their hopes for his future
success, and asking their acceptance of some gifts which would remind them
which would remind them of the friends they were leaving behind."
