two and a-half miles to six miles makes, the bigger place in the sun something reel and effective.
So writes the Earl of Ronaldshay, in a preface to the second volume of his Life of Lord Curzon !! (Ernest Bena, Ltd, 21s.).
Curzon of Kedleston was easily the most illustrious Viceroy, since the mutiny, and Lord lionaidshay gives a vivid iden of the vast Amount of his work, the valuable reforms, and the lasting impression that he made on ladia, but above
Great Trust Accepted,
But the broader grounds for satisfaction at Brighton's greater horizon has more than loen signi- ficanec. Vast tracts of the glorious Sussex downland have been brought into the borough, and as the Home Secretary (Sir William Joynson- Hicks) pointed out at a celebration all be exhibits the soul of the man.
Curzon was at times almost crush-banquet in the Dome, the muni- ed to the ground by the enormous cipality is entrusted henceforth weight of his tasks in face of op with the safeguarding for the nation position, and when his wife (Mary of these wonderful expanses of Leiter), the first Lady Curzon, had natural beauty, tu come home for her health and leave him in India, he wrote to her: Grind, grind, grind, with never a word of encouragement; on, on, on, till the collar breaks and the poor beast stumbles and dies. I suppose it is all right, and it doesn't matter. But some times when I think of my self spending my heart's blood d no one caring one little damn, the spirit goes out of me, and I feel like giving in.
"You don't know or perhaps you do what my isolation has been this summer: I am crying now so that I can scarcely see the page.
Reliance On His Wife, Lord Ronaldshay observes that the extent to which the Viceroy, in all other respects so self-reliant, had grown to depend upon Lady Curzon for companionship, was little suspected by the public.
Her absence created a void in his life which he vainly attempted to fill by unburdening himself in long conversational letters. His first thought on arriving at his destination at the end of a journey was always of her.
The story of Curzon's violent dis- agreements with Kitchener, with the Secretary for India, and with the home Cabinet, is illuminated
with extracts from his letters. It was part of the irony of his carcer that he begged for Kitchener to be sent as commander-in-chief. He was granted his prayer, and Kitchener crashed into laim and smashed his viceroyalty,

We celebrate not as victors, but as protectors," replied the Mayor (Alderman Charles Kingston) in nu- knowledging the trust to which the Home Secretary referred. And all who know the Sussex Downs are aware that the protection is need- ed, for during recent years many buildings that are shocks to the eye and spoil the landscape have arisen under the elastic by-laws of rural authorities.
The outstanding event of the week was the laying of foundation-stones of two handsome pylons at the northern boundary by the Duke and
Duchess of York.
The celebrations ended, as they began, in a blaze of sunshine, From first to last the weather was perfect, and every detail of the week's elaborate programme was carried out with complete success. The procession of decorated cars, horse thow at Preston Park, the perfor reances of a pageant revealing the history of the town, and the naval and military tournament were all most successful. me

Strained Relatiozë. Lord Kitchener's relations with Lord Ampthill, the deputy-viceroy, became so strained during Lord Curzon's absence in England, that he telegraphed his resignation to London, creating consternation" in the Cabinet. He withdrew his resignation on condition that the system of Army control in India, should be investigated. That was the beginning of the " Homeric con- test," as Lord Ronaldsbay calls it, that eaded in Kitchener's victory and Curzon's resignation..
