The present Lord Grimthorpe came into his title on the death of his uncle, Lord Grimthorpe (Edmund Beckett), who was known as England's *“clockish” peer. He made the construction of time- pleces a fad, and probably in his day knew more about them than any other man in Great Britain. On his death his title fell to his heir, Ernest Willlam Beckett, who is now here. Lord Grimthorpe looks to be about 40 years of age, although pe has been in Parliament for twenty years. He looks the polished English gentleman to the letter. In speaking of his visit here he sald: I have been making a pleasure tour of the United States and have come out to the coast I like it. I have been twice in San o_before, and on those visits 1 saw try immediately tributary to it.
