By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dail LONDON, June 6.—Lord Derby’s disposal of his estate in South Lan- cashire, covering 5,000 acres, is be- lieved to be the largest real estate| transaction in the history of England. | Agents already have begun the ])!)XP‘ derous task of transferring to the! new owner the ancient leases on 60 farms, 500 houses and cottages, .,000 | leaseholds on mills and factories and | the mining rents paid by two great collierles. The majority of the leases were signed many years ago for a period of 1,000 years.

Residents of Bury view the change| of ownership with grave misgivings. | For generations they have maintained | of cordial relations with the house Derby through times of political agitation for reform of the land ten- ure laws, steadfastly refusing to allow their overlord to dispose of his prop- ertles. Tenants on Lord Derby's estates have been offered the oppor- tunity of purchasing their holdings outright.
