TESTY OLD EARL
OPPOSES MATCH
MISS STURGES' FIANCE MAY
LOSE HIS TITLE
UNCLE THREATENS MARRIAGE
American Heiress Will Nevertheless
_ Wed Man of Her Choice, and Is
Being Overwhelmed With
Present*
Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 29.— The course of
true love between George Montagu and
Miss Sturges, who are to be married
next Tuesday, Is justifying the old
raying: of not running smoothly. They
are devoted to each other, and Miss
Sturges will bring her husband the
very comfortable dot of $10,000 a year.
He has practically nothing - but ex
pectations to offer his young bride, and
until a short time ago these were bril
liant enough, Including the earldom of
Sandwich and the fairly substantial
Income of two fine estates— one In
Huntingdonshire and one In Dorset
shire
The old earl, however, has always
disliked the heir, George Montagu, and
Is furiously angry over the engagement
He now threatens to marry, with the
future possibility of changing the suc
cession, to the earldom to bis own son.
. But do what he may, the earl cannot
prevent the marriage, and . the young
couple mean to be happy. In spite of
future difficulties and possible disap
pointments. Lord Sandwich has taken
8 house In Buckingham . Gate and
means to go about, a "great deal more,
presumably In search of a future coun
tess. He la sixty-six years old, very
testy, and as there Is no real reason for
his antipathy to young Montagu the
family hopes he may In time be recon
ciled to his nephew's marriage.
Over Five Hundred Presents
Misa Sturges, In the meanwhile, Is
the happiest girl imaginable, as she is
marrying the man of her choice. Bhe
has received more than 600 presents,
among them a magnificent pendant of
matchless brilliants with one enormous
drop pearl from her future mother-in
law. Lady Agneta Montagu, while other
friends have sent lovely pearl and dia
mond ornaments. There are very few
colored Jewels in the collection.
What she prizes most are the pres
ents of beautiful old furniture. , One
bit is . an , antique Chippendale desk,
cleverly constructed with secret draw.
«•. one of wbicb has not yet been au
covered;' this is the gift of Princess
Hatzfeldt, and there Is some excite
ment about It still, for it Is said the
princess has hidden away another
gift in the lost drawer, leaving It for
the young couple to find.
Other presents are an Italian cabinet
from Mrs. Charles Hunter, a great
friend of Mrs. Leggett, and a very fine
piece of Jacobean furniture from Lord
and Lady Rothschild. There Is a won
derful collection of old fans, one from
the young Duchess of Manchester, ex
quisitely painted and Inlaid with gold
and old-fashioned gems.
Her brother has given her a unique
necklace of. unnamed stones, very
large, round and the loveliest pale
pink; they form a necklace In gradu
ated beads, separated from each other
by small diamonds.

lean friend, has given her a prayer
book of the finest white Ivory, edged
with gold and in the center a gold cross
surmounted by a yellow diamond In
serted, and again above this a small
coronet of rubles and brilliants. It Is
a work of art and Miss Sturges will
carry It at the wedding.
An old paste buckle comes from Mar
quis de Talleyrand-Perlgord; there is
a lovely old long paste pendant from
Lord and Lady Battersea and a set of
silver and crystal inkstands from Mr.
Louis Holyoke Hoamer.
Gold Yachting Cup a Present
All the presents are set out In one
of the sitting-rooms at the back of the
house in Burton street, ' and what
strikes the eye Immediately upon en
tering is an enormous gold cup which
Admiral Montagu, the bridegroom's
father, has given the young couple. It
was Queen Victoria's cup, and he won
It at Cowes in 1894. There is another
gold cup, very much smaller, from
Frlnce and Princess Batthyany, an ex
act copy of a gold goblet found at
Amyclae, and dated 1400 B. C.
Mr. Spence Burton, a cousin of Miss
Sturges, has given a large ivory cruci
fix, which Mrs. Leggett and her daugh
ter consider the loveliest of all the
presents. Mrs. George Law has sent a
heart-shaped frame entirely of the pal
est mauve enamel, and almost entirely
covered with flowers worked finely' In
gold, with jeweled centers. Miss Pfizer
has given a case of very old silver salt
cellars and pepper pots, and Mrs.
Chauncey a case of twelve teaspoons,
the backs being of pale blue enamel set
round with pearls.
Mrs. Leggett has given her daughter
the newest motor car to be had, in
which they will start on their honey
moon Immediately after the reception,
which will take place In Bruton street.
Mrs. Potter Palmer has a large party
at Hampden House for the same after
noon, which is supposed to be in con
nection with the wedding, but neither
Mrs. Leggett nor any member of, her,
family will attend it. '
