Among the Knights we note with very special pleasure the
name of the Very Rev. John Herkless, D.D., the Principal of St. Andrews University, and for many years Professor of Ecclesiastical History. Sir Samuel Evans, the learned Judge who has been presiding at the Prize Court, gets the G.C.B. ; and we are delighted to see that Mr. Maurice Bonham-Carter, private secretary till his resignation to the late Prime Minister, who, it may be remembered, married Miss Violet Asquith, and who is about to join the Army, becomes a K.C.B. The honour is one thoroughly well deserved, as will be agreed by the many officials and members of both Houses and of the Army and Navy who were brought into contact with Mr. Asquith's private secretary. Mr. Erie Drummond, formerly private secretary to Lord Grey of Falloden and now to Mr. Balfour, receives the K.C.M.G. That too is an honour which will give much pleasure to a largo body of friends.
