to bear the same title in Great Brit

the royal governor and Lady Byng. on

retired to rest houses to expeno SIX

It Is credibly reported that Lord Byng
| has declared that life was less stren-

since he took up the reins OF govern
ment at Ottawa. He and Lady Byns
have been called hither and hence TO

/ PEELED to pass SO much of their time
on trains that they are completely
| tagged out. Washington was hop
ing for a visit from this distinguish

! news is not encouraging. Lady Byng,

| her guests included that imperious
lady who is the mother-in-law OF the
former Crown Prince Of Germany and
whom rumor says. fills the part in the

| after the war and the exile OF the
| royal line from Mecklenburg
Schwerin, she dropped all reference
as the Grande Duchesse Anastasie OF

on May IL one of the most brilliant
events in such history. Horse shows
are engaging attention in every Sec

element existing here, namely, the
active aid of Gen. Pershing and the
careful selection he will make Of
