LLOYD'S ARMS.
IMPORTANT GRANT BY COLLEGE OF HERALDS.
LA LUTINE CREST,
The Grant of Arms to the Cor poration of Lloyd's by the College of Heralds is an important matter, and It is somewhat surprising that so great an institution as Lloyds should have gone so long without proper armorial bearings. **
It is true that for many years Lloyd's has had a badge, and that on all Lloyd's policies there has figured the "foul anchor," which is part of the bearings of the now Coat, but neither badges nor scals carry the hall-mark which is given by the Collage of Heralds in a Grant of Arms, and it is most satis factory that Lloyd's is now able to incorporate in decorative scheme of the new Lloyd's Building, the emblazonment of what is a very attractive and appropriate design.
