Alloway - Blake.

  At the residence of B. M. Blake, 1300 Fifth avenue, at 8 o'clock last 
evening, Rev. H. R. Bender, in the presence of a goodly company of 
relatives and friends, said the words which united for life the 
fortunes of Mr. Alexander Alloway and Miss Jennie Blake.  At the 
appointed hour the bride and groom, attended by Miss Lizzie Peightel 
and Mr. H. E. Blake entered the parlor to the music of the merry 
wedding march, Miss Linda Hooper presiding at the organ, and in a very 
few minutes the ceremony was over and congratulations were in order.  
The lovely bride was attired in a gown of light blue silk, with pearl 
trimming, while the bridesmaid was dressed in blue silk.  That is all 
we can say about the apparel; we're not strong in that direction.
  The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Blake, 
and our young friend Alloway is to be congratulated upon the good 
fortune which has awarded him so valuable a matrimonial prize.  The 
groom is the son of Mr. Samuel Alloway, of Sixth avenue and Thirteenth 
street, is an electrician in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad 
company, and having always been a good son will make a faithful 
husband.
  The happy couple left at 10.45 p.m. for Cleveland, Ohio, having 
first, with the guests, partaken of an elegant collation.  They will be 
absent for a week and upon their return will settle down to 
housekeeping like old married people.  The TRIBUNE joins with their 
friends in extending cordial congratulations, with many wishes for a 
long and happy life.  The bride received many valuable and useful 
presents.
