In 70 years, on his impressions of
the present-day America.
Here to See Old Friends
Lord Denbigh, accompanied by
Lady Denbigh, came over few days
ago for return visit to the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Of Boston.
After the Boston visit they came to
Washington to spend few days
with their old friends, Sir Esme and
Lady Isabella Howard, before the
latter start on their trans-continental
tour of America.
From Washington Lord and Lady
Denbigh went to New York as guests
of President Nicholas Murray But
Ter at Columbia University.
For many many years Lord Den.
bigh was the commanding officer of
the famous 160th Royal Artillery of
London. 1t was member of that
regiment that $50 years ago or
ganized the Ancient and Honorables
Of Boston.
In 1903 the Boston artillery in.
vited its British cousin to pay it a
visit. Not only did Lord Denbigh
bring his regiment to Boston, but
also to Washington, where the or
ganization gave a parade and was
received at the White House by the
then President Roosevelt.
