NEW YORK, March 6.--About fifty people
we're gathered about the saloon passenger
gangway of the American line pier at a
quarter after 10 O'Clock this morning when
one of the Gould carriages came rapidly
down the dock. These early comers had
their curiosity satisfied when the Count De
Castellane stepped out of the carriage and
assisted his bride to alight. The Countess
wore a tan skirt, an Astrakan jacket, with
a yellow rose at her waist, small black
hat and black veil. The New York was
overrun with mob of the curious who were
looking into every state room in the hope
of being able to see the ones which the
Count and Countess had engaged for the
trip across The crowd had a good view of
the newly made Countess she stood
at the head of the companion stairway
waiting for the Count, who had stopped
below for moments talk with one of the
ships people. When he reached the Count
ess's side they passed quickly to their suite
of rooms on the upper deck and remained
there until the steamer had cleared from
the dock. Before secluding himself, how
ever. the Count, in speaking of their plans,
said: From Southampton we shall go di-
rect to London where We shall stay four

quantity of flowers and each lot of them
was followed by an eager gaping, almost
