SIR WALTER DE FRECE, M.P.
NOT TO STAND. AT NEXT GENERAL ELECTION.
The definite decision of Sir Wal- ter. de Frece, M.P., to retire from politics at the next geceral elec. tion was officially notified to a special meeting of the executive committee of the Blackpool Con- servative Association last, month,
In a letter to the association Sir Walter explained that owing to the liness of Lady de Frece, which necessitated her spending at least tix months of each year abroad, he did not feel that he could give adequate attention to his Parlia mentary duties, and he was com- peled, in consequence, to give up the idea of standing for Parliament again.
A resolution of thanks" to Sir Walter for his services and regret that he found it necessary to re-
ire was passed.
Nothing was done with regard to the selection of a new candidate, but there is a strong possibility that the one chosen will be a local
man.

The marriage was to have taken place in the spring of this year; but on June 20, Miss Mairs eloped with Mr. Martin Henry, of South Bend, Indiana, who is employed in.a, Wall Street brokerage-house Young M. Hubrecht is now a student at Cam bridge University, and Mise Mairs states that after her surprise wed ding she sent him a cable inform ing him of the event...
The news of this startling romance is confirmed by the Town Clerk of Harrison, New York, who described how the young couple and a party of friends turned him out of bed in the middle of the night to perform the ceremony.
