Mr. Gerald Balfour Among the “Ghost’s” Large Audience.

[From Our Special Correspondent.]
Woking, Saturday Night.

The town of Woking is just now excited over a ghost which in several particulars presents features of novelty. Woking, except for a neighbouring cemetery. does not suggest spectres. for most of the town is new and bright sad cheerful, and the spot which the ghost —as it may for the present be called, in the of any other explanation—haunts is one of the brightest and most salubrious districts, covered with pretty modern villas.

One of these is at present occupied by Mr. George Holroyd, whose father is a member of the firm of Friary, Holroyd and Healy, the famous Surrey brewers. It is a charming house, obviously of recent date, standing in its own grounds. Its most attractive feature inside is a large hall, with a railed gallery running round it. Above this is the roof, for the house is one of two floors. This hall is the scene of the mysterious manifestations which have begun during the last fortnight.
