  This is another picture from 1913, the meeting of the Anglo-American Peace Centenary (1814-1914) Committee. Use the tag to find the other pictures associated with the event. NYT article from May 6, 1913 lists delegates 'PEACE ENVOYS BEGIN CELEBRATION PLANS; Delegates from England and British Colonies Officially Welcomed by Gaynor.' query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404E7D91F3AE633A... Third from left, with dark mustache and coat over his arm, is Henry Vivian. See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3239320332/ Third from right, with a stick, is Lord Weardale.

  Fifth from right, with bowler and hands on cane is Capt. Sir Arthur Lawley. See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3121124180/ Center front with watch chain on substantial paunch is Sir George Reid, High Commissioner for Australia in London. Between Reid and Lawley might be the 7th Earl Stanhope thepeerage.com/p3481.htm#i34809 -- who would have been 33 at the time. According to peerage.com, he was the nephew of Lord Weardale.
