He was for some years Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland, also chairman of the Quarter Sessions for Westmoreland, and took a leading part In philanthropic enterprise In both ronn. tics. Nevertheless It was In his contact with all classes of the community in so many categories of sportsmanship that he manifested qualities which endeared him to men of English breeding the world over. In his younger flays Lord Lonsdale was an adventurous traveller. Soon after his marriage he took her Ladyship on an extended tour In the Rocky Mountains. Travelling In those parts 50 years ago was of course a very different proposition from what It Is now. For sev eral months the Earl and Coun- 1 nr.;- i uif flordon riauihlr nf 4h Innni. . n i...

Long afterwards he used! walk on the Great North Road! to declare half -seriously that the credit for discovering the Klondike really belonged to himself, for he maintained he had been on the spot years before the great gold-rush set In. At home Lord Lonsdale had many opportunities for proving his skill with the gun, for he was owner of probably the most extensive game preserves In the North of England, and of the only forest In that part of these Islands where the wild red deer still flourishes. Lord Lonsdale, though, probably considered feats In this direction as among his minor achievements. The great entrance hall and corridors of Lowther Castle arc covered today with trophies of what he achieved In hunting almost every big creature, from a moose to a crocodile. YKItSATILK AS ATHLETE His astonishing versatility In the way of athletic, can only be 100 miles in 24 hours. The actual walking tune was only 18 hours and he reached Ram Jam, near Stamford, with a comfortable margin In hand. There was also the memorable contest, as a result of a challenge from the Earl of Shrews bury, to cover 20 miles within an hour, using four combinations of horses. The road was between Relgate and Crawley, when there was much snow and Ice. Lord Lonsdale used a one- horse buggy, a buggy with a pair of American trotters, a team of four with a shar-a-banc.'and in the last lap he rode postilion, accomplishing the feat In just 57 minutes. At five years of age Lord Lonsdale was following the Quorn Hounds. In the year of his marriage he won with his own mare, the Queen, the Rut land Welter Drag Hunt Club at Newmarket the longest race In England, in after years he was the truest touched upon here.

In John A-stley he undertook to the county of Westmoreland he revived coursing. The Lowther "waa founded, with the Lonsdale hound trial and sheep-dog trials are another feature of life in the dales which owe much to his Interest. Dalesmen too are grateful to him for reviving wrestling in the Cumberland and Westmoreland style. Yacht ing was also for a considerable span of years one of the Earl's sports. In one season he won 36 events out of 49 starts. For three "seasons the ex-German Emperor's racing yacht. nrr - r it ---vr r urr nrmri n mmm i im i i mm i n ! in i i n iinii rrn m jf, . .tu-s- mmmmmmuiJi w'S'K m smw am &sf rjirmr'jviir Jimr jzxjmt w a. a m. -4mm mmwm mmmm b mm ssrissj.- r w rjsw mwx m mr mmmw& w jgimw m-j. mk,ws ute.x- smmamf . -immm Jk r tf if i "ifffffffB i riffffffffffffffffffffffB ! i . . rfmammmw -rs. m. . imemw i mwrnmr. r h iinii n ww'm iw s-iai.icv s--r- -" . . , w rjrr - s Mhm !irifffsrifffffsr i .

His first success of note as an owner was not reached until 1922 when he won the St. Leger with Royal Lancer. In coursing he won the Waterloo Cup in 1923 with Latto.

WAS GREAT SPORTSMAN Lord Lonsdale was a great sportsman, not merely in the i conventional sense, but by rea son of his wide charity to all men and women, and in his chivalrous consideration at all times for their feelings. His command of any situation which might suddenly turn up when a man of less ability would probably have been embarrassed or provoked, was a constant ad miration and delight. Although he was far from being an anti-feminist there were some direc tions so far as sport was concerned where he did not wish to see women proceed further. He used all his great Influence to stop boxing contests between women. The idea of them even was a horror' to him. He alio exercised his Influence against women entering rowing matches. : Lord Lonsdale will be succeeded in the title by his brother, Capt Hon. Lancelot Ed. Lowther, born in 1867, who served with distinction with the Border , Regiment in the Great War. NEW ROYAL HOTEL A Home Away From Home Rates 75c up 50 Rooms. Hot and Cold Water Prince Rupert, B.C. P.O. Box 198 SITUATION IS GRAVE Railway Head Emphasizes Im portance of Full Support for Victory Loan. " MONTREAL, April 15-In a letter to all Canadian National' Railways employees urging full-, . est possible support of the Sixth. Victory Loan, R. C. Vaughan president and chairman of the' board of directors, refers: to the warning issued by' the Prime Minister In the Can-! ad lan House of Commons. "We are in times that are very grave Indeed," Mr. Vaughan continues. "We cannot afford to ignore this warning, considering the source from which it comes. It is our duty to heed It and to! support our government to the' full in meeting the crisis. We can, render this help effectively and! immediately by throwing the full weight of our financial support behind the sixth Victory Loan campaign. "There is no longer any need; to explain why we should sub-; scribe to Victory Loans. The" fact that in the last loan 832 per cent of all the man andi women of the Canadian National system, TransCanada Air Lines and National Railways Munitions Limited, invested a' grand total of $8,599,600, is enough to make it plain that, the purposes of Victory Loans are well understood. But there, is reason to urge that both of, these totals be increased in this, the sixth Victory Loan campaign. We can do it If we will only realize the seriousness of the times if we will put victory first. The chairman has authorized all regional officers to provide for payroll deductions for these employees who wish to purchase bonds through deferred payments, the payments in this Instant extending until November next. In past campaigns a considerable proportion of bond sales made throughout the Canadian National system has been effected through the payroll deductions covering a period of six months and It Is anticipat ed that this method will;, pe used to an even greater extent for the Sixth Victory Loan Miss May Birtch Shower Honoree Mrs. W.
