He limy be fatally wonuderl, hut bo

horse tbnt loses his rider and is un

fear and alarm, but will not leave the
field. In his racing about he may get

will tlotlpo them, if possiblo, and in

The Wildly Rsrklsii Financial Varesr of
Itarnn Albert Grant.
One of the most dramatio If not ao
ttinlly oue of Iho lnrgest fnilnroa, so fur
as the liabilities wero concerned, was
tlint of Baron Albert Grant of "Kuima
mine" notoriety. Grant was tho uu
iTowncd king of the financial world of
liis day and generation. He made mil
lions almost as deftly as the late Mr.
Barney Bam a to, aud he spent tbom
right royally. He bought Leieoster
square and presented it, a free gift, to
tho people of Loudon. He gave n din
ner to ueurly a thousand city magnates
at a cost which was popularly reputed
at thetimoto have exceeded 100 gnineas
a hend, and which, in any event, un
doubtedly established a record in ex
travagant dinuer giving which has yet
to he beaten.
And be started ont to bnild a palnoe
in Kensington whioh sbonld "knock
spots off" all other private residences,
past, present or to come. Everything
was got up regardless of expense. The
ballroom walls were inset with panels
of pink IloMan. marblo, oosting 800
gnineas eaca. In the entrance ball were
four pillarsf porphyry, worth 4,000.
The building was scarcely finished
when the crush came, aud It remained
for long a brick and mortar white ele
phant on tire bands of the trustees in
bankruptcy. Eventually most of the in
terior fittings and decorations were dis
posed of piecemeal. The grand staircase,
whioh had -cost to bnild some 40,000,
being acquired by tho representatives
of tbe late Mute. Tussand for a trifle
over a fourth of that sum. It now forms
the main npproaoh to the upper and
principal nit of rooms of the new ex
hibition bnildinga in the Marylebone
