John T. Stack, the gymnast, who re- turned to his home in this city recently, after four years European tour, was married two days after his arrival here. thus completing a romance commenced eight years ago.
 The bride, Miss Ida M Knight, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs B. Knight of Santa Cruz. Shortly after he entered upon his career as a professional acrobat Stack visited the city by the sea- per forming with a patent medicine company. He met his future bride, and, notwith- standing the travels of the young pro- feSsional since that time, they have kept in close communication.
 Much to MT. Stacks discomfture, he was not able to keep his first theatrical engagement in this city. The day after he returned he was practicing in the gymnasium of the Olympic Club, where he received the first lessons in his art, and fell, sustaining a severe sprain of the ankle. This prevented him from appear ing at the Orpheum, but did not interfere with his leading his bride to the altar. The couple were welded in Oakland, and were then summoned to Santa Cruz. where they are spending their honey moon. The affair was kept from the knowledge of their most intimate friends, who were surprised at the sudden de- velopment of the little romance.
