The Marquis of Exeter died on Wednesday. He was the
descendant of Elizabeth's Lord Burghley, the son of Miss Sarah Hoggins,—the original of Tennyson's "Lady of Burleigh," and said to have been worthy of the poem,—and the greatest horse-racer in the world. In politics his only achievement was, as Grand Elector of Stamford, to return Lord Cranborne to the House of Commons.
