'If the Shamrock should win, we'd never rest
until we got it back. and the yachts would go
TO England in a continuous stream until we re-
covered the cup II would give yachting a great
boost. and when we once recovered IT, 1t would

but If we went 10 England and got the cup back
it would certainly do away with all feeling on
this score"
Another thing that was particularly noticed
was the kindly feeling for Sir Thomas Upton

MARRIED IN A STREET CAR
st Louis Preacher Fond of q Little
Romance.

st. Joseph, No. July THE Rev. W.
B. AIesbury of St. Louis and Miss Liz
zie Hartley of Stockton, Mo, were mar
ried on a rapidly moving street car
yesterday afternoon in the presence OF
a dozen OF their friends.
1t was not a runaway match, but the
young people chose the time and place
for the novelty of the situation and in a
spirit of adventure.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev c. B. Powers of this city. The
bridal party chartered a special car
and it was prettiIy decorated. as if for
a trolley party. They started for Krug
park. in the northern part of the city,
and the ceremony was begun as the car
rounded the loop at the entrance to the
park.
At a short curve the agitated bride
was called upon to murmur Yes" but
instead she Iurched forward into the
arms of the grOOmsman and almost fell
off the car. Otherwise the wedding was
pronounced by all participating to be
a complete success.
The Reverend and Mrs. A1esbury will
make their home at Pattonsburg, Mo.
He is a preacher in the Free VIII Bap-
list church.
