Captain John Collings Glossop, the hero of the Sydney-Emden fight, and captain-in-charge at Garden Island, was married at Bathurst recently to Miss Alison M'Phillamy, states tho Sydney "Sun." The wedding took placo in All Saints' Cathedral, and was conducted on simple lines as befitting the character of tho times. There were no bridesmaids and no formal reception. The bridal party comprised only eleven persons, the relatives and tho most intimate friends of tho brido and bridegroom. Though those directly interested intended the ceremony to bo as quiet as possible as far as they were concerned, extraordinary public interest was manifested. The_ church' and grounds wero thronged with hundreds of interested spectators. The ceremony was performed by tile Rev. S. C. O'Breznan Ball, an old friend of the bride, assisted by the llev. Canon Wilton, of All Saints' Cathedral. Tho church was profusely decorated by tho girl friends of the bride, a feature being the colours of tho bridegroom's squadron. After leaving the cathedral the partv proceeded to "Blair At,hoi." where afternoon tea was served the bride cutting tho wedding cake with her husband's sword. The bride is a member of one or Bathurst's. oldest families.

Holders of blue tickets are reminded of the weekly dance which will be held in the Sydnev Street Soldiers' Club as usual 011 Wednesday _ evening. _ It is a Very essential point in connection with these dances that girls attending them should make a point of being regular in their attendance, as well as punctual, otherwise difficulties are iikcly to arise. The committee would be very glad if the holders of blue tickets would' realise tho necessity for meetiug them in these essentials. Palestine Day. A very well attended and enthusiastic' meeting of people interested in the proposed "Palestine Day" was held yesterday afternoon. It was pointed out at the meeting that the Red Cross does nothing for the men in the fighting lines, only when wounded or sick, and that the gift parcels which are sent away from New Zealand to Egypt take so long in Tetting to the men that for many months they are destitute of tne comforts that seem to 'reach tho men in France so much more frequently. For this reason it was considered better to send money direct to Egypt, so that comforts could be purchased and forwarded without loss of time to wherever the men might be. Arrangements were further discussed in connection with the holding of "Palestine Day,' whicn is being organised (provided the necessary permission is granted) by the committee for the purpose of tecuring tho necessary funds.
