Special to The JERSEY City Neacs.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 27. 1898. The
young man who plays the clarionette in
the Gayety Opera Company's orchestra,
is an object of interest to visitors here on
account OF the romance connected with
hiE3.
A youthful couple recently registered
at the Aldine Hotel at this place. They
were soon suspected Of being an eloping
bridal couple. The girl, who was pretty
blonde, did not look to be more than six
teen years of age, while her husband did
not appear to be more than three years
bsr senior. They registered as David
Byron and wife, Pittsburg, Pa.
a day or two after their arrival, while
the couple were sitting on the veranda, a
guest read aloud from Pittsburg paper
story of an elopement of a daughter of q
lawyer and musician of Sousa's Band.
The confusion of the young couple which
followed the ending of the story prompted
the inquisitive guests to question them.
The girl became communicative, and
said she ran away from boarding school
with her young lover, and they were
married In Camden. They then came
here, aud intend to remain throughout
the summer. Her husband found en-
ployment as told above.

In grimy white shirt, q pair of mud

Berry half tumbled from his saddle in
front of Colonel Cody's tent so weak a nd
tired that he was unable TO rise to his
feet or grasp the proffered hand OF
Colonel Cody, who cordially welcomed
the little man. who had ridden 1000

Berry was hardly able to hold his head
up and was supported through the
crowd by two stuedy cowboys to the
mess tent, where he was laid upon the
sofa and stimulents given him. after
which he was able to raise his red and
swollen features to Colonel Cody, asking
him in weak voice to please take care
of my horse"
This caution was unnecessary, for
under the shade of the grand stand stood
the little chestnut stallion surrounded by
score of cowboys, who kept back the
crowd aud treated the noble animal
like sick Infant, rubbing its joints
