' The Rev. Eugene West, of Ha- good, officiated. The vows were spoken before a 4 background of lace fern and South ern smilax with brass urns of white gladioli and snapdragons flanked by seven-branched candelabra-bold ing cathedral tapers. Miss Sarah Campbell played "Ave Marla" by Shubert, "Out of the Dusk” by Dorothy Lee ‘To A Wild Rose" by McDowell and “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" by Victor Herbert. ‘ The wedding march from 1 “Lohengrin" was played for the i processional, “To the Evening j Star" played softly during the cere- I mony, and Mendelssohn’s march ' from “A Midsummer’s TJlght’s Dream”, was used for the recess ional. The bride was given in marriage by her father. The bridegroom had as his best man, his brother, Char les Mason Crowson. Miss Betty Lou Hood of Church- land, Va„ was maid of honor and.

Caurdy of Mon treal to Ride Three Heavy weight Huntera Canada’s moat eager ^aaoateur rider, Vernon G. Cardy, of Mon treal, will take part In the Camden Horae Show March 22. and ' the horse lovers and followera of show horses in the Dominion are won dering how the enthhalaatic rider- owner will fare in hla debut of the. 1947 season. Returning to the saddle after 18 years' Of inactivity after a boyhood of riding, and several years of hunting. Vernon G. Cardy found that with, hunting in the Montreal area suspended the only opportuni ty for comparison of training lay in shows. So he entered shows and for more than a season was round ly trounced on all appearances., Hs found it not eksy to mount a man of 198 pounds, riding at perhaps 215. and as he did all of his own riding ribbons were few and far between. However, by the fEll ot 1945 ‘‘Squire’’ Cardy had the nucleus'of a show sUble, the majority thw- oughbreds, something rarely heard of In the rugged Canadian terrain where raw boned half bred horses are generally preferred. Selecting two young amateur riders he com menced training them and for the first tlme liiccess began to attend the Cardy colours. Early In the spring of 1948 the Mount Vernon Ranch horses were at Camden for the "education of both horse apd rider," Here he won two blues and came away tremendously satlafled that he had learned a lot. The record of the 1948 season speaks for Itself., Actually bad luck dogged the stable.

They carried arm bouquets of red and white stock, yellow acacia and blue iris tied with ruby satin ribbon. Mrs.. Jones, mother of tbO bHde, wore an Aqua-spray gown of silk crepe with topaz studded belt and split skirt, and a shoulder corsage of bronze orchids with Ulle8<)f-the- valley. Mrs. Crawford, the bridegroom’s mother, was dressed in a silk Jer sey gown -of grey-sky color with long grey gloves and gold acces sories. Her flowers were talisman roses. A reception was held immediate ly after the ceremony at the Jones residence on North Broad street. The home wak decorated through out with many exquisite arrange ments of white gladioli and other Gowers. The bride’s table was covered with a point de Venice cloth and graced with a silver bowl of bridal flowers flanked with two ihree-tjered candelabra holding white tapers. At one end of the table was a three tiered wedding cake and at the opposite end of the table Mrs. John S. Lindsay presided at the coffee service. Assisting the hostess at the re ception were Mrs. Colvin Sheom, Miss Thelma Flowers, Miss Mar garet Ready, Mrs. Charles Mason Crowson, Miss Rosemary Jones and numerous sorority sisters of the bride from Columbia. Later in the evening the couple left on a wedding trip after which they will make their home In Co lumbia. For traveling the biide wore an early spring suit in gray with a. peppermint green Jersey blouse. Her bat waa of black straw' with dotted Telling trim and her other accessories were' black. ’The bride was graduated from St. Mary’s school and Junior col lege. Raleigh, N. C., and attended the University of Itouth Carolina, where she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority and Beaux Arts club. Her mother was the former Ger trude Dunbar of Beech Island. Mr. Crowson received his educa tion at 'The Citadel in Charleston, and served with the army Air corp as a first lieutenant and later at tended the University of South Carolina where he was pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

However, they wop nearly 200 first ribbons during the season Including the 12,000 Jumper Stake at Madison Square Garden, the knockdown and out, first and aecond^ the five foot class, and reserve in the Jumper aggregate, second in the Hunt team, to name only a few of tbs wins. “We attended 20 shows last sea son, but. I found the National In New York, and the Camden Show the'most thrilling and the best re membered,’’ commented Mr. Cardy. The gracious hospitality of Mr. Kirkover, the DuBose, Mrs. Walter and all of the others who keep Camden as a trial for amatenr riders than a contest between skill ed professionals rettiained In my mind, as did the lovely setting, the amazing family class event, the whole delight^l atmosphere t6 be duplicated nowhere In Ameridt to my knowledge. And when it cornea to horses the residents of South Carolina are outatanding Judges.” It is likely that Mr. Cardy will ride three of his heavyweight hunh ers including Red Ransome, Bet ter Still and Soon Over. Miss Edith Ferguson Will likely ride Fort Riley, and the Canadian hunter champion Jervis Bay, while her twin sister, Telen, will be np on Cardolina and Ooldenwood. The horses combine to make two hunt teams, the same entries to carry off second In the Hunt team event at the National Horse Show, New York, and the Royal Winter Fklr in Toronto. Stabled at Southern" Pines this year, practically all of Mr. Cardy’s horses havq been out a dozen times with the Moore County Hounds and are all veterans of the hunt Meld.
