BROOKLYN LIFE. 15 Gill to be Married in North Carolina. Mrs. Walter Dixon Price of this borough, the groom's sister, is to act as matron of honor at the wedding of Miss Adelaide Loughran and Mr. James Gill, which is to take place to-day, Saturday, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Frank Loughran of 165 North Main Street, Asheville, N.C. The ceremony, at which only relatives and intimate friends will be present, is to be performed at eight o'clock and will be followed by a reception. The maid of honor is to be Miss Sara Jones of Asheville, N.C., and the two bridesmaids will be Miss Lalage Oates and Miss Marguerite Wadsworth, both of the last mentioned city. Little Miss Margaret Loughran will serve as flower girl and there will also be two ribbon bearers, Miss Madeline Loughran and Miss Lucile James.

Mr. Gill has chosen Mr. George O. Coon of this borough as his best man and the ushers will be Mr. William Pell of Brooklyn and Mr.

Frank Loughran, Jr. Miss Loughran is one of the most popular members of the younger set in Asheville and the reception which follows the ceremony is to be a large one. Mr. Gill, accompanied by a number of his friends, went down to Asheville the early part of this week and has been entertained for several days by Mr. and Mrs.

Loughran. The groom is a well-known member of the Crescent Athletic Club, where he has been much interested in lacrosse. One of his brothers was the late Mr. Abraham Gill, who lived for some years on his ranch in the West and was supposed to have met his death at the hands of a band of desperadoes. Mr.

Gill was a man of great personal courage and had been instrumental in punishing this group of cut-throats. Despite every effort made by his family, they were never able to discover how or where he met his end. Miss Powell's Recital. Maud Powell, one of the greatest women violinists of the day, is to give her annual violin recital next Tuesday afternoon in the Lyceum Theater. Her program is made up of novelties from the Italian classics, a new concertstueck by Max Bruch in sharp minor, and a group of works by American composers.

Her numbers include Pugnani's "Preludium Allegro," Locatelli's "Sonate" in minor, Cesar Cui's "Berceuse" and Wieniawski's "Airs Russes." The Coleridge-Taylor negro melody, "Deep River, is to be given as well as a scherzo by Harry Gilbert, Debussy's "Golliwog's Cake Walk" and "Wellenspiel" by Edwin Grasse. Miss Ticer a Bride.

While the house itself is a small and modest structure, the property occupied by the club is one of the finest around Huntington, consisting of one hundred and forty-five acres, formerly the Captain Mahan farm and the Ward, Guigliano and Cantrell properties. The grounds run through from Cold Spring Road to the West Neck Road and are valued at $75,000.

The golf course promises to be exceptionally fine though of course it takes several seasons to get the links into shape. The tennis courts have been laid out to the northwest of the club-house, while the remainder of the grounds will be left for the present in their natural state and will later be developed as the members determine. The house is of reinforced concrete with a wide piazza on the front and east ends, having concrete pillars and hard tile floors. The main lounging room has a cavernous fireplace and dark, weathered oak woodwork, with furniture of the same wood upholstered in dark leather. The Travelers.
