ORD BATTERSEA, who was until recently known to the world as Mr. Cyril Flower, M.P., is a son of the late Mr. P.W. Flower, of Streatham, and was educated at Harrow and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar at the age of twenty-seven, and became Liberal Member for Brecknock in 1880, and for the Luton Division of Bedfordshire in 1885 and 1886, in which later year he was one of Mr. Gladstone's "Whips." He married the daughter of the late Sir Anthony Rothschild, and both he and his wife are much interested in the welfare of the lower classes of London. Lord Battersea was unanimously reputed the handsomest man in the House of Commons, and is now, in every sense of the word, an ornament of the House of Lords.
