Special Gable TO The Tribune,
LONDON, Oct 2S-The fact that ths
Earl OF Durham has been appointed SO
act as lord high steward 10 the king
during the coming duroar trip to India
and that he is TO be addressed while SO
acting as your grace" is taken ia
presage that upon the return OF ths
royal party. from India the strawberry
leaves are TO be bestowed upon Lord
Durham and he is to be elevated 10 the
highest rank OF the peerage.
The Earl OF Durham. among other dis
tinctions. enjoys that OF being the only
twin in the peerage, and also OF being
so much like his brother that OH occa-
sions they have been mistaken for one
another. He is one of thirteen children,
and among his brotners-in law are the
Earl of Pembroke, the Duke OF Leeds
and Lord Robert Cecil. The Lambton
pedigree can bA traced back TO the
twelfth century, but, unfortunately. the
civil war played havoc with the family
archives. II is, however, pretty clear
that there were lamptons in the county
OF Durham at the time of the conquest
For instance. there was John Hampton
In the sixteenth century. He married
the at-sranddaughter Of Edward ".
and his son became the husband OF
Frances Eure, tenth in descent in the
reign OF Edward III. The first earl was
our eInbassador at st Petersburg in
the reign OF William w and governor
general OF British North America in The
early Victorian era.

man. He is an adept at every game ex-
cept golf. and he once gave the reason
