An Athletic Duchess.
The new Duchess of Manchester is well known in Edinburgh and St. Andrews as an enthusiastic golfer, and is exceedingly fond of all outdoor recreations. She can cycle well, play tennis, take a hand at hockey, and even cricket. Her manners are those of a free and charming American girl, and she dresses in the best of taste. There is a grim story associated with Tanderagee Castle, where the young Duke of Manchester and his American bride spent their honeymoon. The castle was inherited from a family n <med Sparrow, one of wh<jse daughters brought the castle to her husband. Another daughter died in the great cholera plague at the beginning of the century, and was buried in the family vault at Tanderagee Churchyard. When the vault was opened years afterwards, the skeleton of unfortunate girl was found far from the coffin, kneeling by the door of the vault.
