of how peerages die out lie was the
first and last of the line. though the title
was not conferred upon him in 1885 with
any Idea OF its being only a life peerage,
for he was a very wealthy man. Lord
Vantage had no children There has
been great deal OF talk lately about
model saloons that are run by peers. but
II Is not generally known that Lord Wan
tage was the first peer TO run an estab-
