Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 9 WILBERFORCE On the 23rd ultimo the marriage of Miss Lillian Greentree, eldest daughter of Mr. Henry Greentree, of Wilberforce, to Mr. Alexander Mackay, of Lower Hawkesbury, was solemnised at St. John's Church. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. S. Newton, M.A., assisted by Rev. T. H. Taylor. Girl friends of the bride had tastefully decorated the church for the occasion. Over the Communion table "Good Wishes" had been worked in flowers, and on one of the arches, "E. G." and "A. M." initials of bride and bridegroom. The bride looked very pretty in her white silk Grenadine dress, and she wore a wreath and veil and carried a beautiful bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom, and was given away by her father. The bridesmaids were Miss E. Greentree, in blue with white trimmings, Miss F. Greentree, in fawn and blue (both sisters of the bride) and Misses Mackay (2) one in fawn and the other in blue. All the bridesmaids wore wreaths on their heads. Mr. A. Greentree was best man, and Mr. H. Greentree groomsman. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the residence of the bride's parents, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was spread. Mr. and Mrs. Mackay left by the evening train for Sydney. The bride received a number of beautiful and useful presents. The GAZETTE wishes Mr. and Mrs. Mackay all happiness and prosperity. I would like through the medium of your widely circulated journal to bring under the notice of the public an abominable offence which is committed on one of the park seats. The perpetrator must be about on a level with the beasts, and nothing less than the lash would drill into his dirty carcase [sic] a sense of decency. The trustees have given a good deal of time and attention to our reserve, and have made an honest endeavour to transform and beautify the place and make it a popular pleasure resort. I am sure that all will agree that they have done well with their limited means, a small annual grant, and every resident ought to at least assist in protecting seats, trees, &c. So well do our people appreciate the boon of having a recreation reserve of their own that every week croquet parties, lawn tennis and cricket matches are taking place there, with the occasional picnic. This on a piece of land that was a short time ago tenanted by a few stray cattle. I can assure ! the miscreant that the trustees will not hesitate to punish any one committing offences of any kind. I hope this will be the last time I shall have to complain of this kind of thing. The Wilberforce Tennis Club journeyed to Freeman's Reach on Saturday afternoon to have a game with the Freeman's Reach Club, and after an enjoyable time were defeated by the Reach club by 82 to 66 games. The visitors were then regaled with tea, cake and fruit. Mr. E. Daley proposed a vote of thanks for the splendid treatment meted out to the visitors, and Mr. Clothier responded on behalf of the home players. Thus ended a very pleasant afternoon's outing. These clubs met in a very friendly spirit each out-vieing the other in hospitable treatment. May they always continue so. The Wilberforce C. C. met the Windsor C. C. on Saturday afternoon last on the former's wicket. After some very good play had been shown on both sides the home team gained a lead of 30 runs on the first innings. The match will be resumed on Saturday afternoon, 3rd inst., and it promises to furnish a very interesting finish.
