C. —- n gspswv zwiymwi&v 3 * a 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. In any c the old ducliess, ri diculous aa she ls in many re . HU . . ’■mfm 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 Ls Roy.
