Hon. John Baring

Hon. John Baring went to the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball as Henry IV.

The Hon. John Baring was Baron Revelstoke just two weeks after the ball. A caricature portrait (right) of Lord Revelstoke by Leslie Ward ("Spy") appeared in the 11 August 1898 issue of Vanity Fair, as Number 698 in its "Statesmen" series, giving a sense of what he looked like about the time of the ball.

Hon. Maurice Baring

At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Hon. Maurice Baring went as Marlborough, wearing a "gold tunic, with large ruby velvet cuffs, embroidered silver, sash round waist; full breeches."

Edith, Countess Cromer

Edith, Lady Cromer attended the ball. Her husband Evelyn Baring, Earl of Cromer is not listed in any newspaper account, but that does not mean he was not there.

Notes and Questions

1. Evelyn, Earl Cromer is not reported to have been at the ball. By October 1898, they had returned to Cairo after being in England, because "his presence in Cairo was deemed very important for reasons of State," and she went, "well knowing the seriousness of her condition, which no medical skill could any longer alleviate."
