Scoular, Matakanui station, Central Otago, was married to Edward Kirby Halstead, of Ranfurly, elder son of Mr R. D. Halstead, of Roslyn, Dunedin.
The Rev. S. Hurd performed the ceremony, and Mrs Lester presided at the organ.
The bride looked charming as she entered the church with her father. She wore an exquisite gown of heavy cream leaf-patterned lace. The neckline was high, of gathered net above a lower circlet of cream velvet gardenias. The bodice was finished with a row of velvet buttons at the back, and the long, tight-fitting sleeves fell over the hands. The skirt was fully flared below the knees and fell into a long, graceful train. Her veil of Brussels lace also fell into a train, and was held in place by a halo of cream velvet gardenias. A bouquet of cream roses completed the picture.
She was attended by her two sisters, the Misses Nancy and Eily Scoular, as bridesmaids, and by Miss Lesley Scoular as flower girl. The maids were frocked alike in cream lace to match the bride. The bodices had an off-the-shoulder effect, and were finished by red roses at the corsage. They wore lace halos on their hair and carried bouquets of red roses. The flower girl wore a picture frock of soft cream georgette, with a tight bodice with puffed sleeves, and a skirt gathered from the waistline.
The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr Charles Halstead, of Dunedin, as best man, and by Mr G. Cunningham, of Ranfurly, as groomsman. The ushers were Mr Peter Scoular and Mr A. M'Millan.
The guests motored from the church to the homestead at Matakanui, where a reception and wedding breakfast were held.
The house and church were beautifully decorated -masses of gladioli, tulips, and asters making a lovely background for the bridal party.
Mrs Scoular (the bride's mother) wore a becoming gown of black ring velvet with a black velvet hat and silver fox furs, and carried a bouquet of red carnations. Mrs R. D. Halstead's frock was of black lace, with a black hat, black and gold cape, and a contrasting bouquet of red carnations.
Later in the evening a dance was held in the Omakau Hall, at which there was a large number of guests.
For travelling the bride wore a smart navy frock with buttons and buckle of silver, with navy hat and shoes and accessories to tone. The future home of Mr and Mrs E. K. Halstead will be in Greymouth.

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Representative.)
NOT on the late Jerome K. Jerome's hilariously eventful trip down the River Thames, but on Lake Waikare, forty miles from Auckland oity. It was July 31, the last day of the duok-shooting season, and a trio of sportsmen — well-known Auckland citizens — set out to make a "bird" of the olosing hours of their licenoe.
But, alas! ere the setting sun dropped the curtain of protection o'er the wild-fowl world, the fowlers had fouled the laws of the Acclimatisation Society and they themselves were "bagged" by the ranger.
Fowling-pieces gleaming, ammunition aplenty and a favorable wind, John Sylvester Brigham, Holbrook A. Chatfield and Bertram Noakes set out in their little punt.
Wrapped m that glowing and oongenial feeling of goodfellowship that is characteristic of the hunting party — and so often inspires the confidence of a "reoord bag" — the sportsmen set out their decoys.
Unfortunately for the duck-shooters, these cork specimens of the swlftwlnged fowl are attractive to more than their animated brethren and to officers of the Acclimatisation Society, they hold equal charm.
On this particular occasion, while the city sportsmen were engrossed with the number of live members of the feathered game that might flutter down to the apparently peaceful and tempting ripples of the lake, there "duoked" upon the scene the ranger, who immediately oonoerned himself with the number of gaily-plumed deboys that floated m the neighborhood of the shooters.
A tally and a quiok calculation with his practised eye over the area m whioh bobbed the quackless quack-quacks — and the ranger was satisfied that the Aucklanders had committed a breaoh of the regulations.
Lawyer Johnston appeared for the three sportsmen when their oase was heard before Magistrate Hunt. It was, he said, because they had no suitable "stool" or place of concealment wherein to wait for the game, that they had gone out into the open.
His olients very much regretted the incident, but they had taken an erroneous view of the regulations.
Lawyer West, for the Acclimatisation Bociety, explained how the sportsmen had committed an infringement of the law.
Whereas the number of deooys placed m an area of 100 square yards or less must not exceed twenty-five, the defendants had a flook of forty-nine
They had offered to reimburse all the expenses caused to the Boclety and had "acted as the society would expeot true sportsmen to act."
A flnd of 40/- each was Imposed.⁵
