A DUCAL HUSTLER.

The Duke of Westminster, who has just celebrated his thirty-second birthday recently gave a remarkable exhibition of ducal "hustling." On a Saturday afternoon he was playing polo at Nice, be charged directly after the game and started forborne, arrived at Eaten Hall at four o'clock on the Monday morning, and a few hours later was out hunting with the Cheshire hounds! The range of his activities are extraordinarily wide, and are by no means confined to the realms of spcrt. He has recently been studying aviation, and has bought a Wrieht machine on which he soon hopes to make successul flights, while some short time ago he took a short trip on the Mauretania from Liverpool to Queenstown in the overalls of a stoker, his objet being to make a close personal inspection of the engine-rooms of the vessel." Besides being a very rising politician, he is Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire and President of its Territorial Force Association, Major of the Cheshire Territorial Yeomanry, and honorary Colonel of the 16th (Queen's Westminsters Batt. of the County of London Regiment. He was formerly lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards. During the South African War he served as A.D.C. to Lord Milner, and as an extra A.D.C. Lord Roberts.
