LONDON, June 29.-<-ady Sykes who
had remarkable and varied career, and
whose unconventionality was often not
far removed from eccentricity, died at
Hull.
She was the wife of Sir Tatton Sykes,
the famous horse breeder of Sledmere,
Yorks. and the mother Of Mark Sykes.

Central Hull She was related by birth
and marriage TO many distinguished fam
lilies Her father was the Ri. Hon.
George Observation-Disclosures. NJ. p,
member OF the Duke of Eortland's fam
lily. and her sister is Mrs. Arthur James.
A passion for adventure led her In later
life to fill many unusual roles. Her out
spokenness was byword. and few wom-
en- could speek their minds more forcibly
when aroused.
So IL was that the woman who had
been a wealthy society hostess, enter
tain royalty, suddenly became nurse

As a seventeen-y ear-old girl she mar
ried Sir Tat,on Sykes. then thirty years
her senior who had met her in the
hunting field. Her reputation as horse
woman was then second to none in a
hard riding country.
In the early nineties the name of Lady
Sykes was associated with racing and
gambling set the members of which
were noted for theN- high play. In De-

Under this petition it leaves the
matter entirely In the hands of the

now being circulated is so worded
that IL the election occurs, with the
consent of the voters. that the
amount called for will not only
mean the taking over of the pres
