These young men are to act as ushers at the, wedding, arrayed in all the splendor of their magnificent uniform, uni-form, which is the pride of their troop and the most elaborate worn by any miiitary company in the United States. It is of white, scariet and silver, with high boots and silver helmets, surmounted by enormous bearskin crests, and in general magnificence is exceeded by but few- uniforms in Europe. General Grubb is an ex-captain of the city-troop, city-troop, he having resigned at the time he was running for the governorship of Xew Jersey. With his manly form arrayed iu a captain's uniform, and six masculine beauties to back him up, the wedding ceremony should long be remembered by Edinburgh society. |
