An English title that was created over 600 years ago in the reign of Edward II became extinct recently, when Baron Grey de Ruthvyn died at his home, Melrose House, Fownhope, at the age of 72. He held the unique position of being the hereditary bearer of one of the Golden Spurs _ at the coronations of British sovereigns. The late peer, who was unmarried. travelled extensively in his early years. He owned a large ranch in America before he succeeded his brother, who by virtue of his hereditary office, bore a golden spur at the coronation of King Edward.
