PEER’S SUDDEN DEMISE

COLLAPSE AT PUBLIC FUNCTION. LONDON, January 11. Despite his doctor’s warning not to attend public ceremonies, owing to a weak heart, Lord Glanusk, Lord Lieutenant of Breconshire, arrived at Brecon to open the War Memorial Hospital, in which he was greatly interested. He began his speech: “I thank God for sparing me to see this day,” when he collapsed, and was carried to the hospital. He died in eight minutes. After the removal of Lord Glanusk, his heir, Major Bailey, said he was sure his father would desire the ceremony to proceed, and accordingly he handed over the deeds of the site u o the chairman of the hospital. The Bishop had said the dedication prayer, when Lord Glanusk’s death was immediately announced.
