A LINK WITH THE PAST.
The death is recorded early this year of Lord Balfour, brother of F. M. Balfour, who was killed on the Aiguille Blanche de Péteret in 1882. He was elected to the Alpine Club in 1882, but resigned in the following year. He climbed with his brother in the years 1880 and 1881, making in the latter year, with Johann Petrus and Peter Knubel as guides, the first ascent of the Pic Balfour an the Grépon (A.J. 10. 397, with folder illustration). Colonel Strutt informs us that in the opinion of Alexander Burgener and Alois Pollinger sen. Petrus was one of the very best guides of his time.
