that the elder brother is Viscount
Hardinge, OF Lahore. whereas the Vice.
roy is Baron Hardinge, of Penshurst.
The Governor General received his
barony on his appointment to Office

Hardinge is the third of his line. is a
soldier instead of a diplomat by pro-
fession. and holds a peerage that was

first viscount was likewise accorded by
Parliament an annuity of $4,000 a
year for himself. and of $4,000 a year
for his two next successors in the
peerage. This is still enjoyed by the
present viscount Hardinge, but Will
cease on his death.
