DUTCH HONOURS PROTOCOL SIGNED AT
SIR HENRI DETERDING IN BIRTHDAY LIST

He is the sixth man to accomplish this feat, those who did so before him being W. G. Grace, Hayward, T. (Surrey), Hobbs, J. B. (of Surrey, who has the most to his credit now), Mead, C.P. (of. Hampshire) and Hendren, E. (of Middlesex).

The net result is that
