Important feature of the week's play was
'the work of the (late City team In taking
'five gamea out of kIx from the Oermaus.
The postponed series was played off, as
well as the regular meeting of the sched

three gamea with the Nationals, and thus
dropped a little In perci-ntag.'. Thus there

opposed by Lord Rosebery, but, as the

ried three years ago, at the age of 18, the
earl of Crewe, a widower twenty-three years
older than she and with three daughters
of Just about her age.

prime minister's elder son and heir. Lord
Dalmeny, as engaged' to marry Lady
Marjorie Grenvllle, the only daughter of a
still famous beauty, the countess of War

She Is handsome, fond of all outdoor sports
and a fearless horsewoman. She has not
gone Into general society yet, spending her
time mostly at Warwick castle.
Then came Lord Rosebery's party, Janu
ary 8, In commemoration of Lord Dalmeny's
coming of age. Dalmeny Is a second lieu
tenant In the Life Guards and goes much
in society, hut has no liking for politics
or study. The family's political hopes rest

majority Dalmeny came into the Inheri
