A century-old veil, which was made in a Brussell's Convent, was worn. It was of silk net trimmed in each corner with sprays of seed pearls and held in place over the face by coronet of pearls and brilliants. The historical veil had been lent by Mrs. Angus MacDonald, friend of the bride. The bride's shower bouquet was of pink carnations and maiden-hair fern.

Mr. Archibald Mathieson
Mr. Archibald Mathieson sen., one of the most widely known men in stock and station and pastoral circles, died in a private hospital in Melbourne yesterday.
He was in his 91st year.
A son of one of the pioneer families of the Western district, Mr. Mathieson was the senior partner and founder of Mathieson, Davis, and Co.

M. Davis M.L.C., establishing the firm ot Mathieson, Davis, and Co., which became one of the leading stock businesses of the State. The firm had branches in every town in Gippsland, in Melbourne, Albury, and many other places. For nearly 70 years Mr. Mathieson was a well-known figure at Newmarket, and he was considered the finest auctioneer and judge of stock of his day. He had many pastoral interests in Gippsland, Riverina, and other districts.
In his younger days Mr. Mathieson was a noted cricketer, and played in many inter-colonial teams. He was also an excellent gun shot, and took an active interest in coursing. For many years he Judged sheep and cattle at leading agricultural shows. A happy business association extending over more than 50 years ended with the death of Mr. Davis, M.L.C., a fortnight ago.

OBITUARY
MRS. MARGARET MATHIESON
A link with one of the most fascinating phases of Australian history has been severed by the death of Mrs. Margaret Mathieson at Sale on Saturday. Mrs. Mathieson was the widow of the late Archibald Mathieson, founder of the well known firm of Mathieson and Davis, stock and station agents. Mrs. Mathieson was a grand-daughter of the pastoral pioneer, John McMillan, who explored much of the Loddon country and took up Lake Leaghur Station in 1842 (his licence was granted in 1845). This pioneer left Lake Leaghur to his son, Alex McMillan, who took into partnership his brother-in-law, John Boyd McDonald, Mrs. Mathieson's father. Mrs. Mathieson is survived by 4 daughters and a son: Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Dennett, Mrs. Morrison, Mrs. Chalmer, and Mr. H. J. Mathieson, of Grasslea Estate, Nambrok.
