OUR LONDON NEW
London, December 3.—It is
strange that the old dowager ducli*
ess of Montrose should have fol¬
lowed Sir John Astley to the grave
so very closely. It is impossible to
conceive two more loud-voiced,
profane people than Sir John and
the duchess, whose language was
as coarse and as highly colored as
their faces, and who were far more
at home in the stable than in the
drawing-room. Yet, strange!}
enough, it is tq these two types of
a generation of British sporting
folk that have passed away that the
*«*—««-*"
owes its transformation from a law
less, rowdv and noisy gathering of
all that was vile and low to the
aristocratic resort that it is to-day.
It was Sir John who founded the
Stablemen’s institute at Newmar
ket,which has done so much to im¬
prove the tone and condition of
those attached to the service of the
nags, while it was the duchess to
whom English society is indebted
for being able to take w ives and
daughters to various meetings on
the Heath. V*
It was the duchess who set the
fashion of entertaining at Sefton
lodge, and by degrees most of the
great ladies of Mayfair followed
suit, among those noted as enter¬
tainers during the Newmarket
week being the duchess of Devon¬
shire, the countess of Cadogan and
the duchess of Portland.
One is glad to feel that she died
reconciled- to her children, the
present duke of Montrose and the
marchioness of Bredalbane, both of
whom had become temporarily es¬
tranged from her when she shocked
all her friends and relatives and ex¬
cited the ridicule of everybody else
by marrying in her 75th year the
25-year-old Harry Milner, younger
brother of Sir Frederick Milner and
of the countess of Durham.
But when the inevitable quarrel
between the ill-matched couple
took place, and the aged duchess
found that her penniless boy-hus¬
band was spending her shekels on
youthful und comely ladies of the
ballet, she cut loose from him, re¬
fused to have anything further to
do with him and effected a separa¬
tion.
She even attempted to withhold
the payment of the $35,000 a year
which she had settled upon him at
the time of her marriage, and he
was engaged in legal proceedings
against her with a view to keeping
her to her agreement when she
died. Inasmuch as this annuity
constituted part and parcel of her
jointure as widow of the fourth
duke of Montrose, and as widow
of the well known sportsman, W.
S. Sterling-Crawford, it is difficult
to see how young Milner can con¬
tinue to draw henceforth his
revenues from this source, for their
jointures naturally cease at her
death and revert .to the respective
estates op which they were charged.
No one will feel sorry for young
Milner, for, in the first place, his
marriage was a most disgraceful af¬
fair, since it is impossible that there
could have been any love on his
side for the astounding old woman
with her obese figure, her painted
face, bright yellow wig and ridicu¬
lous predilection for the most dain
tjr and girlish of toilets—pink, the
most delicate shades of rose, etc.,
being her favorite hues, although
in her youth she shoTY£d a marked
fondness for glaring red.
Prior to his marriage Milner
was “in the city,” a member of
that stock-broking firm of which
Lord Mayo’s brother, Algy Bourke,
the reorganizer of White’s club, rs
the head and Lord Sandy’s brothers
are junior partners. And he be
longed to that very objectional
class of young men who do not hesi¬
tate to import business into social
life and to tout for orders among
their friends and associates in the
boudoirs of Mayfair and in the
smoking-rooms of the Pall Mall
club.

good, and there is many a poor
family, especially around New¬
market, which will have reason to
grieve bitterly for the death of “Mr,
Manton,” the name under which
she used to race..
Another equally flagrant case of
May mating with December is that
of Lord and Ladjr Alington, and
from all that I hear it will not be
long before death relieves young
and beautiful Lady Alington of her
antiquated beau of a husband, who,
as usual, has keen insanely jealous
of her, this sentiment increasing in
proportion with the number of his
bodily ailments.
For the last year he has been to¬
tally blind in one eye; he is com¬
pletely crippled with rheumatic
gout, and has entirely lost all that
sprightliness and go which used to
render “Bunnie,” as he is called in
London, one of the most conspicu¬
ous and ubiquitous figures of Lon¬
don society.
lie was made a peer by Lord
Beaconsfield in 1876, having up to
that time sat in the house of com¬
mons, where he was noted for his
silence. He has nothing to rec¬
ommend him save his enormous
wealth and the posession of a fa¬
mous country seat at Crichel, in
Dorsetshire, the grounds of which
are celebrated for their violets,
while people come from far and
near to get a glimpse of his white
farm, where no beast or bird is per¬
mitted to be used or reared that is
not of the purest white color.
Lord Alington is half a century
the senior of his bride, who was a
Miss Eva Leigh, a girl consider¬
ably younger than his children by
his first marriage. I may add that
“Bunnie” is a great faVorite at
Marlborough house, and up till the
time of his marriage was wont to
give every season one or two per¬
fectly appointed dunces for the
princess of Wales and her (laugh¬
ters.
From Brussels I hear of consider¬
able scandal, caused by the arrest
on a charge of swindling of the Vi*
comte Oncieu de la Batie, member
of an old family of the SuVoy no¬
bility, son of the Italian general
delegated by King Hubert bp repre¬
sent Italy at the obsequies of Mar
shal MacMahon, and a well-known
on the Parisian boulevards
and at the Cerclc de la Rue Rovale.
His frauds arc reported to be on
most colossal scale, and to have
been perpetrated at Brussels, Spa,
Liege, and especially at Mons,
where his capture was effected.
Hopes arc entertained that his rela¬
tives may see their way clear to
the affair, and thus
save himfrom expiating his offenses
in the penitentiary.
Col. Count Hulscn may be con¬
gratulated on his transfer from the
post of aid-de-camp-in-waiting to
Emperor William to that of mili¬
tary attache of the Germany em¬
bassy at Y’iennu. For the court of
Berlin and Potsdam has become
such a perfect hotbed of intrigue
and scandal that there is not a sin¬
gle person connected therewith
who does not walk in fear and
trembling, never knowing from
one moment to another whether he
or shte may not be accused unjustly
of some offense in such a manner as
to blast stainless reputations.
Count Hulsen is the young offi¬
of the imperial household for
whom the emperor went in person
to the parents of his lady-love, in
order to ask the girl’s hand for his
favorite aid-de-camp- She is very
rich and a particularly lovely worn
