WEDDING BELLS
Hallam-Von Bibra
In the Penguin Methodist Church on
Wednesday, May 19, the marriage was
solemnised of Frances Amy, elder
daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs.
Frank Von Bibra, of "Ormley," to
Leonard, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Hallam, of Moonah. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. J. F.
Butler.
The church was beautifully decorated
with festoons, flowers, and a large
marriage bell of white flowers in the
centre. The decorations were carried
out by girl friends of the bride. Miss
Groom presided at the organ, the
"'Wedding March" being played as
the bride entered the church on the
arm of her father, by whom she was
given away.
She was attended by her sister, Joy,
and cousin, Heizel Von Bibra, and two
little maids of honor, Louise and Nancy
Rockcliff, of Sassafras.
The bride wore a lovely frock of silver
lame, straight bodice with waistline
defined with hand-made silver
roses, inlet panels of silver lace, and
pearls, giving a flare to the skirt. Angel
sleeves lined with pale blue georgette
were caught at the wrists with
silver roses, and shoes of silver brocade.
Her court train, which fell from
the shoulders, was lined with pale blue
rucked georgette showing lovers' knots
of silver ribbon and orange blossom.
Her veil of hand-embroidered tulle was
arranged capette style, with silver
bands and orange blossom. She carried
a bouquet of choice white flowers
tied with silver ribbon. A valued
necklet of silver feligree, a heirloom
of the Von Bibra family, was loaned
for the occasion.
The bridesmaids wore frocks of blue
tinselled lame, long sleeves of georgette
caught at the wrists with silver
bands, inlet godets of georgette, with
velvet flower of deeper tone, blue turban
head-dresses, with silver leaves,
and swathes of blue tulle, terminating
in long scarves lightly thrown around
the shoulders. The maids of honor were
daintily attired in simple frocks of
pink surah silk, quaint Dutch bonnets
of pink tulle, with silver leaves and
scarf ends, and carried silvered flower
baskets daintily filled and tied with
ribbons to tone. The bride knelt on a
beautiful white satin cushion, embroidered
and presented by her cousin, Miss
Von Bibra, of "Woodstock.''
The bridegroom was accompanied by
Mr. Rex. Marsh, of Hobart, Mr. Harry
Hallam being groomsman.
While the register was being signed
Mr. Henry Rockliff, of Devonport,
delightfully rendered "Because." At
the close of the ceremony, all motored
to "Ormley," where the guests were
received by the hostess, Mrs. Ralph
Rockliff, aunt of the bride. The happy
pair received congratulations in the
lounge, where masses of brown and gold
flowers in bowls were arranged artistically.
A sumptuous wedding luncheon
was served in the large dining room
to over 60 guests. The tables were
beautifully decorated with pink and
white flowers in silver vases. A two-decker
wedding cake on the centre
table, where the bride, bridegroom, and
their attendants were seated, was much
admired. Many toasts were honored,
and numerous telegrams of congratulation
read. Amongst the latter were
several from prominent oarsmen of
Hobart, and members of the Tasmanian
eight crew, who recently won the
King's Cup in Brisbane, the bridegroom
having been the stroke on that
occasion.
Later, the bridal pair left by motor
amidst showers of confetti, for their
honeymoon on the East Coast. Mrs.
Hallam travelled in a light grey double-
breasted tailored costume, with
shadowed heliotrope hat. Their future
home will be in Hobart.
Mrs Ralph Rockcliff, hostess, wore
a stylish ensemble suit, the gown of
green silk marocain with Oriental trimmings,
and coat of deeper green, trimmed
with fur, hat en suite.
Mrs. Hallam, mother of bridegroom,
wore a smart ensemble suit of black
crepe-de-chine, the gown embroidered
in gold, with hat to match. She carried
a bouquet of African marigolds.
Mrs. Chas. Von Bibra, sister of the
bridegroom, wore periwinkle blue charmant,
with black hat, and carried a
posy of tiny rosebuds and narrow
ribbons.
The flowers were all arranged by Miss
Lillico.
Among the many guests were Dr.
and Mrs. Smellie, Misses Smellie, Mrs.
Ivan Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. Von
Bibra, Mr. Don Von Bibra, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Rockliff, Mr. and Mrs. Leopold
Von Bibra, Mrs. Abey, Mr. and
Mrs. T. Ingram, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Rockliff, Miss Winnie Rockliff, Mr.
and Mrs. Vincent Rockliff, Mr. and
Mrs. Plapp, Misses Plapp, Mrs. Hedley

OBITUARY
Mr. J. L. Hallam
Well-Known Oarsman
It was with regret that oarsmen
throughout Tasmania learned of the
death of Mr. J. L. Hallam, which oc-
curred at Launceston on Thursday night
at the age of 34 years. As an oars-
man he ranked with such champions of
the sport in Tasmania as F. House, J.
Artis. and C. Deane, who in their ca-
pacities as strokes of eight-oared crews
won great success. He was a, most popu-

lar figure in rowing circles In the North
and, the South, and the news of his
death came as a big shock to his many
friends in Hobart, who were unaware of
his illness, which lasted for a few weeks.
Mr. Hallam was a son of the late Mr.
J. A. Hallam, a former Warden of the
Glenorchy Municipality, and was edu-
cated at Clemes College. When he
reached 18 years of age he enlisted in
the A.I.F., and served with the 29th
Battery of the 8th Field Artillery from
1916 to 1918. Returning from the war
he re-joined the Buckingham Rowing
Club, with which he was associated for
a short while before his enlistment, and
In 1919 was a member of the successful
four-oared crew, stroked by E. Byrne,
which in the one year won all races up
to, and including, the junior-senior
classes. He continued to row with suc-
cess with Buckingham, and in 1925.
stroked the club crew, that won the
championship eights of Tasmania. In
the same season he was chosen as
stroke of the Tasmanian King's Cup
crew that rowed second to West Aus-
tralia on the Yarra. In the following
year he again occupied the stroke seat
In the State crew that won the race
at Brisbane In 1926. His performance
In that race won great praise from
keen riverside critics, who were much
impressed with his splendid judgment
and the manner he took his crew over
the course of three miles. For the third
successive year he stroked the Tas-
manian crew that competed in the race
on the lower Derwent In 1927, but the
contest was marred by rough water
and the Tasmanians swamped. He was
transferred in the service of the. Gov-
ernment to Launceston in 1928, and In
the following year was chosen as stroke
of the Tamar Club's senior eight that
won the championship of Tasmania. He
was also to have stroked the Northern
crew In the North v. South Test race,
but the contest had to be abandoned be-
cause of the floods at Launceston. He
retired from the sport a couple of sea-
sons ago, but retained his interest In the
Tamar Club, having at different times
occupied the positions of captain and
chairman of committee. In recognition
of his services the Buckingham Club
elected him a life member after he had
been transferred to Launceston. He was
one of the foundation members of the
Army and Navy Masonic Club.
In the Government service Mr. Hallam
was held in high regard by all his col-
leagues. For a number of years he was
draftsman In the Lands and Surveys
Department at Hobart, and In Launces-
ton he was chief officer In the Lands
and Mines Department, and Registrar
of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. He
married Miss von Bibra, formerly of
Penguin, who survives him, and he
leaves one child.
CHIEF SECRETARY'S TRIBUTE.
Tho Chief Secretary (Mr. C. B,
James), expressing his sincere regret
at the untimely death of this officer, said
he was held in the highest regard by
members of the Ministry, and by all

death was a blow to the efficiency of the
departments he represented, and his
place would be hard to fill. .
