The Herald got OIL on the wrong
foot this morning in the item under
the head OF San ElOpement.n No
elopement was ever contemplated by
either OF the parties. II was all Joke
gotten up by the gentlemen for the
delectation of few friends, and unbo-
known TO the lady until the party as
sembled. But the Herald gets onto It.,
and makes great ghost story OF it,
thereby doing both parties, and es-
pecially the lady, a gross injury, since
the item has created the impression
that an elopement was really Intended.
