The 1924 register Of the Deer Herd
Book Society of Great Britain, the

published, gives q complete list of
the ages and distinguishing marks
Of the herds.
The herd at Deem Park, Peterbor-
ough, which went into residences

topnotch lin the unmixed blue blood
of English herds. Among other deer
ranking above the proletariat is the
300-year- herd Of Lord Clifford,
which has not mixed with other blood
since 1872, and the herd of Lord
Gotham, which has maintained Its
exclusiveness since 1855.
Sir Robert Harvey Of Langley
Park owns a herd OF mixed deer
which have been bred there since
Queen Elizabeth used the park as n
royal hunting ground. A thirteenth
century mixed herd IS owned by Lord
Hastings, and the Dukes of Norfolk
have maintained a herd on their es-
tates in Norfolk for about 700 years.
Altogether there are about 140 pri-
vately owned herds in Great Britain,
including three belonging to King
George, but which do not rank with
their royal master in the matter Of
pedigree. On some of the large cs-
tates of the Midlands as many as
400 deer are kept.

Three bills for changes in the Di-
rect Primary Law will be presented
by Cumberland County members of
the legislature, it appeared, as the
discussion developed.
The bills which are being drawn
by Senator-elect Edward S. An

return to the convention system as q
general measure, but at the same
time would provide an appeal from
the convention nomination under
certain conditions.
Appeal Provided
The Anthoine bill would make the
appeal conditional upon the number
of votes which the defeated candi-
date received. while the Cakes bill
would allow any candidate an ap-
peal il he could receive a certain
number of names ON an appeal pc
tition.
The bill introduced by Senator
Alexander Speirs at the last session
provides for return to the conven-
ton system and voting in the con.

The sentiment was expressed tina!
all three bills should be introduced
early in the coming session, referred
