LONDESBOROUGH EARLDOM LONDON, May 26. When the Earl of Londesborough died in April at the age of 42 he left no son, and the earldom consequently had been presumed to have become extinct. The lesser, title of Baron Londesborough was regarded as having passed to his cousin, Captain E. W. Denison. Lord Londesborough's widow, however, expects the birth of a child in a few months' time. If it is a son, he will assume all the titles of his late father; if a girl, she will have the status of an earl's daughter with the prefix "Lady," and Captain Denison "will be as regarded now, Baron Londesborough. The Earl of Londesborough died in a London nursing home on April 17 at the age of 42. He was a great sportsman and was wounded three times in the war. Before 1914 the family estates amounted to more than 57,000 acres, but after the' war the greater portion of them was disposed of to tenants. An. exception was the Blankney estate in Lincolnshire, and in 1933 the Earl assumed the joint mastership of the Blankney Hunt with Miss Marigold Lubbock. In September,' 1935, the two joint masters were married and continued their hunt connection. Captain Ernest "William Denison, R.N. (retired), is 60 years of age. • / . '' '
